[RP] The Black Swan is hiring!

Question - Why are Dracthyr not allowed to be pirates?

We’re not dictating that dracthyrs can’t be pirates!
Being a 10.000 year old dragon who is new to the world outside the dragon isles does offer a lot of different paths for its player to take with them. And we are not going to dictate that a dracthyr might not find joy in being a barmaid, an adventurer, a soldier, a baker, a shrubbery-impersonator. The world is their oyster too!

We simply struggle seing that one would join a filthy crew full of struggle, muck and strife. Not to mention their magic wielding, their tremendous power, and the dangerous fire spitting on a ship stocked full with explosives at all times. :cold_sweat:

So, when looking at their lore and the general concept of a dracthyr we decided that they’d probably not enjoy their time with us. (even if we’re lovely!)
We do our best to make sure that everyone who joins the crew do so with a concept that will give them the chance to really enjoy the guild, their character, and not feel excluded or shunned IC, or bound to a lot of limits. A dracthyr would pun intended, struggle to spread their wings aboard our crew.

I hope that answers it!

Crew’s still hiring - we’ll take sailors, gunners, sawbones or even mystics, if they manage to fit into our little pirate niche. Contact us for more information, or just come interact with us when we RP in Raven’s Flock in Boralus!

As ex Royal Navy this appeals to me. I might have to submit an alt :smiley:

Sounds good! You could either take the route of contacting us on discord and telling us about your concept (add khaliladarling or owynconnal), or find us IC - if we’re not out and about, we tend to be in the Raven’s Flock.

We’ve had a literally golden start to our new campaign and it continues come Sunday!

A huge welcome and an even greater good luck to the brave souls who have joined our community this week.
We will keep recruitment open a bit longer and we seek sailors and 1 sawbones (medic).
Our newcomers have really sprinkled more lore and meat onto the Black Swans bones than we couldve asked for!

  • We’ve now got a bubbling religion among the swabs created by our gunners Flickers. The great Yak, he who taketh and giveth.

  • We have gained a tattoo artist who can take ink and needle to our crew for those event-themed medals we’ve got and mark us with them.

  • An entire new branch called Mystics, who will appraise and handle our mysterious trinkets which we steal. I mean, find.

  • Not to forget the great community around us at Ravens Flock, who provide amazing roleplay, help out with events and stories and keeps enemies and stories plenty for all of us.

I am so impressed and even more so ; grateful. You guys are so amazing.

:skull_and_crossbones:
We have got an AA page but I am too forum shy to be trusted with links it seems.
But we’re on there!
Youre always welcome to approach us in game, via Discord or dm’s if you want to find out more!

The forum finds me to be more trustworthy, it seems.

Ingame, the Swan has now held a funeral for no less than eleven fallen crewmates. With all the grieving out of the way, it’s time to look to revenge…

The Black Swan flies on shadowed wings (Beware!),
Her sails a ghostly shade.
Through seas of death where darkness clings (Beware!),
Her curse will never fade.
In blood and mutiny reborn,
Her legend dark, forever worn—
Beware, beware, beware, beware,
The Black Swan’s vengeful scorn.

~ a sample from our bard Vaelyses writing about the Black Swan.

A big thank you to the crew and our surrounding community for making this guild hilarious, horrifying and a wonderful playground!
We continue with our campaign & our social roleplay! If you are interested in joining us, send us a dm, find us in Boralus, or add khaliladarling to discord for more!
