Shark Clan
A clan of pirates operating in the Reshal Sea. Historically composed of and led by humans, it is presently led by Aedem, an elf, in the aftermath of the death of Sallador, a human. Aedem had joined the clan shortly before becoming its leader, previously being known as an independent operator.
The clan had (ca. 2002) been dormant and thought dispersed before a series of attacks that eventually culminated in wide-ranging attacks during the Outcast War.
Long ago, the clan had been like many others, though preferring to roam the seas rather than stay on land. They wore sashes to distinguish themselves by rank and position. Leaders wore purple; warriors, red; and merchants and other wore other colors, such as yellow, blue and green. It is believed that their society fractured in some way, as red sashes predominate greatly nowadays.
From The Human Clans
The people of Shark Clan are warriors and sailors that dwell in the seas of the Qi Province. They are also rogues -- pirates, that make their living by attacking other ships and stealing their goods. Little is known of Shark Clan, for historians are not exactly welcome among them. All I can say is that if you sail upon the Reshal Sea and are approached by a ship with a shark's flag, you would do well to pray to Lemicus for safety.
Notes
The Shark Clan is also known as the Red Sash Pirates, or just the Red Sash.[1]
