Isa

The Queen of Pirates

Take What You Can...Give Nothing Back
Isa the Pirate Queen, is the proud patron goddess of corsairs and sea monsters. She is very beautiful with pale skin, waist length hair, that changes often, and eyes as bright as the most magnificent gem, or as dark as the ocean's depths. Seen to be wearing either scant clothing in her siren form, or a poet shirt under a long red coat covered in various adornments of pirate-ilk, in her humanoid form.   She is said to captain her legendary ship The Grand Rose, throughout the seas and waterways of the Endless Shore, making raids on the various planes of existence. Pirates don't tend to be a very religious lot, and generally only call on her on their death bed or if in extreme danger. Those few priests who do devote themselves to her generally also are captains of their own raiding ships and have a fierce reputation. Her symbol is the jolly roger, a universal emblem of piracy, normally a white skull and crossbones on a black field.      

Isa's Code

  The code has undergone many changes over the years to serve different captains and purposes. Longer and more complex versions are known to exist but most agree these are additions of famous captains than from the will of Isa. While this list is vague it is used in the creation of longer and more complex codes of most pirate vessels. The Code of Isa often serves as the framework for sometimes lengthy bylaws. It is common for pirates to advise someone to look at the size of a ship’s charter. Too long is the sign of a litigious captain and crew, often aimed at cheating sailors of their due by using loopholes. Too short is the sign of a rookie crew and captain who will have a long road of arguments and tension ahead till reasonable guidelines are struck.      
  1. Ye don’t sail or ride for Free
  2. Blood and sweat has a price
  3. Fortune favors the courageous action but martyrs and fools don’t live to spend the reward
  4. One fool can sink a whole crew
  5. Keep ye blades sharp and boots ready
  6. There is no rule 6
  7. Neither soft-hearts or tyrants can keep a ship or crew long
  8. If ye fall behind ye gets left behind
  9. Keep the peace of the ship
  10. The code is more a guideline than actual rules
