Category:Fair Wind

The Fair Wind is an infamous pirate ship based in the Shards. It is currently captained by The Maldian. It was once under the captaincy of Holden Crawford, who used it in the service of the nobility of La Vieille to kidnap and disappear political dissidents and their families. When Crawford died, Mal took over and left La Vieille for the open seas, where the Fair Wind conducts raids on coastal castles and noble ships.

The Fair Wind is probably about twenty years old, but owing to its easy life under captain Crawford, it is in very good shape. It is smaller than most pirate ships - certainly ones that share its level of notoreity - but this makes it quite nimble, able to make sharp turns with ease and sail over rocks that would sink larger ships. Its hull is surprisingly resistant to fire.

Under captain Crawford, its figurehead was of a fearsome kraken whose tentacles reached around the bow, but when Mal took over he added his own touch: a jackalope leaping over the kraken's head. Its flag is a white horned rabbit skull on a black field.
