The Principi sen Patrena

The Principi sen Patrina (loosely translated as "Princes without a Homeland") are the last remnants of the Vaylian Empire’s bloodline and pirates that plague the Mârton Cays. When the Empire fell, the seven “high families” fled their homeland for greener pastures. Desperation, conflict, and greed lead them to (over the years) become the pirates we know today. These days they cannot be so selective about their membership and this has created two subfactions: the Old Guard and the New Blood. These factions have fundamentally different values and priorities making the already decentralized leadership even more divided.

Tuared Expedition

When Isidora Evenvalor was gathering crew for her expedition to Tuared, she caught the attention of ship hands loyal to Handsome Leila. Once aboard, these sleeper agents incited a mutiny and took control of the ship, setting sail for Od Pholix. Handsome Leila then sent her first mate, Cecil Sly, and a small armada to Tuared to serve the Principi interests. Their influence on the mainland of Tuared is limited but a fort has been built on the smallest of the Glass Isles from which they are able to launch raids on Mythyard and the rest of Tuared's coastline.

Structure

The Seven Stars on the Principi flag used to represent the seven families but now each one represents a Star (a leader of sorts) who meet in council during times of crisis. Ostensibly the stars have the largest fleets and control the most power but it's not only based on that, charisma plays a major role in achieving these spots as when a captain dies the crew votes on a new captain, not the other Stars.
