Category:Blackbrine

Blackbrine was the name of the original ship and home to a crew of Biqaj pirates who were barred from entering all ports across Idalos, the Ej'Jihai (forsaken of earth) decided to form their own city which would later be known as Blackbrine, the city that sailed. Blackbrine is a gathering of ships anchored in a ring called 'the crow's nest'.

The city and main faction formed by this group are known as Leviathan, and display their association proudly with big blue or white sails picturing a giant octopus with its legs tied in mirrored knots. The city has been described as 'a living monster' with ships coming and going for trade, seeing the city grow and shrink daily. Outsiders are barely tolerated in Blackbrine, and often times not. Those with with a Blood Rune on either side of their face will never be hassled as an outsider. Blackbrine is closed to all outsiders during the season of Cylus.

Blood runes can be bought for gold, one gold will buy a commoner one blood rune which are used for trade, bartering, and buying favours in Blackbrine. Favours might include accompanying a ship to their intended destination and seeing that they arrive safely, or doing some work and repair on one of their boats. It is taboo for a commoner to trade blood runes for gold and the act is said to put a curse on the person who bought the runes as well as the individual who sold them. This curse often stops an individual from travelling by boat, as their luck in and around water is halved.

Though most pirates are known for their love of gold, and the Brineborn are no exception, members of the city prefer to barter or trade goods for favours with one another. As most fights are usually started over gold and Blackbrine considers itself to be one big extended family, and family is the only thing more important than gold to the Brineborn people.
