Pirates
[TAGLINE]
An independent and often lawless faction composed of individuals who seek freedom and fortune across the seas. Pirates are known to challenge established powers and follow their own codes.
Pirates are the most independent faction in RELL Seas - the path of absolute freedom. Pirates sail wherever they choose, fight whoever they want, and answer to no one. The world is filled with over 40 distinct NPC pirate factions, each with their own flag, crew, and political beliefs. Every encounter with an NPC crew is a decision: help them, fight them, or walk away. Those choices accumulate permanently throughout a player's journey. No two pirates will have the same experience. Pirates as a whole are overseen by the Council of Piracy - the pirate-side authority in RELL Seas, which also serves as the affiliation path toward official crew recognition.
[Philosophy]
Freedom above all. Pirates reject the authority of the World Seas Government and the Marine Corps. They carve their own path across the seas, build their own crews, and write their own legend.
