The United Pirates

Elric

In another land, another time, Elric lived a different sort of life. His head was full of propaganda, his fist was full of steel, and he struck forth in those early days to rid the world of those who preyed upon the weak. This quest left him frustrated and dismayed. The impossibility of it; the futility of it; the loathsomeness of those who he'd sought to protect. All of this coupled with the fact that his aspirations outstripped his abilities drove him to a short period of monk-like existance under the mentorship of one called Jeb the Advisor. These were the old days, before the second sundering that created Trammel.

Elric's wayward nature soon brought him into conflict with his comrades who followed the paths of Virtue. The hyprocrisy inherent in the philosophies grated him, and he knew that there were better ways to live. He turned coat, and his former friends became his enemies.

Elric and his new companions sought to break the illusions of the so-called Virtuous at every turn. Sometimes trickery, theivery, and murder were the needed tools. But that was before the sleep, when he joined himself to Flame, the pirate lass, and disappeared for many a year.

Now, he has reawoken. Found floating in the sea after a fall from the cliffs near Trinsic, he was hauled, dazed and lost onto the ship of the scruffiest, meanest, roughest looking bunch of ne'er-do-wells he'd ever lain eyes on. Their language was foul, their breath stank, and the deck was stained with blood. Elric liked them immediately.

Now he has learned a new way. The Goddess of the Deeps whispers into Elric's ear, and the pirate's life should please Her well. How Elric arrived here, crossing between the shimmers of shards to the place that is his home, Elric is not sure. He is only certain that the seas are wide, the gold is abundant, and the company is good. And there will be blood. Lots of blood.
What more could he ever want?
