====== People ====== People who you have met. ++++ Brief notes on Status and Titles| - Captain, Lady of X, Lord of X - status equivalent to minor aristocracy. Perhaps Squire of the Manor equivalent. - Free Captain - probably the equivalent of a Knight. Free Captains might also be 'Lord/Lady of' a town or an island. - Pirate Lord - Free Captain with a seat on the pirate council. The most powerful are often 'Lord/Lady of' a city or town. - The Hurricane King - King of The Shackles Pirates. Lord of Port Peril, ++++ * **Free Captain Barnabus Harrigan** - Notorious Pirate Captain of //The Wormwood//, who press-ganged you. He probably doesn't like you all that much, after you stole a ship from him. * **Free Captain Pegsworthy** - Peglegged pirate who has at least two ships and doesn't like Captain Harrigan. You bumped into him at Rickety's, and he conducted the launch ceremony for //Stormwhisperer//. * **Lady Agasta Smythee** - Lady of Tidewater Rock on Windward Isle, (widow of the late Captain Bert Smithee) she married Kaleb Bloodwyne, Captain of //Thresher//. They are your best supporters and allies. Kaleb and Lady Smythee have started to claim the whole of their island chain as their property, and patrol it with //Golden Brown//. * **Captain Ebbe 'Feral' Smit** - Ex-captain of the pirate longship //Cayman// (now destroyed) and follower of Free Captain Stella Fane. You met at Goatshead, and the crews were involved in a bar-brawl, although the outcome was 'mutal respect'. She helped you take //Dominator// (now //Stormthunderer//) and finished owning your old ship //Stormwhisperer//. * **Rickey Hake** - Proprietor of Rickety's Squibs - a boatyard miles away from anywhere. It is the best place to get a ship's looks changed, so that it isn't immediately obvious that it has been stolen.
