Floating Capital of the Anti-Epsilon Pirate Confederacy
Compiled for restricted circulation by the Collegium’s Office of Maritime Intelligence
The Seven Prows are the drifting heart of Buccaneer power:
seven colossal Baelwood hulls, chained together by iron the size of anchors, drifting across the Polar Ocean. Each hull is the domain of one Captain—autonomous, lawless, contradictory. Together they form the most dangerous political engine in the northern seas.
Buccaneers do not kneel to kings, shogun, or empire.
But they bow, reluctantly, to the Seven.
Captains rise by murder, mutiny, revelation, or miracle.
They rule until a stronger hand takes their prow—or until the sea eats them.
Below are the seven recognized rulers of Buccaneer society. Strength determines authority; charisma determines loyalty; madness determines survival.
Prow Title: The Ivory Estate
Pearl Specialty: Meito Supreme Attunement
Status: Sword God, Buccaneer Captain, Apex Combatant
Hakuyune is the serene blade-heart of the Buccaneers. While not their founder, he is their spiritual axis—the only being alive whose presence forces even the worst Pirate Lords to behave.
His prow is carved from winter-white Baelwood, coated in frost, silent except for the wind. To cross its deck is to enter a monastery built atop ice.
No one disobeys Hakuyune.
Even fewer survive disappointing him.
Power Ranking: Sovereign Tier (1st among the Seven)
Threat Level: A nation-breaker standing alone
Prow Title: Blackwater Furnace
Pearl Specialty: Kokuto / Pressure Pearls
Status: Martial Equal to Hakuyune (in raw destruction)
A towering brute whose body is a map of ritual scars, Razorback commands the largest Buccaneer fleet.
He wields a Kokuto twin-hook blade that grows hotter the more blood is spilled.
His prow contains:
A floating arena where duels decide law
Pressure-forge reactors run by enslaved pearl beasts
Cages filled with Privateer captains awaiting ransom—or execution
Razorback believes Hakuyune should rule the world.
Hakuyune believes Razorback should sit down and stop setting things on fire.
Power Ranking: High Sovereign Tier
Threat Level: Equivalent to a Privateer Admiral
Prow Title: The Fog Sanctum
Pearl Specialty: Yoto (Sensory Distortion)
Status: Assassin, Mystic, Navigator Without Equal
Thornmaw is beautiful, unnerving, and absolutely lethal. Her prow drifts inside a permanent mist storm—ships simply vanish when they enter.
She speaks softly.
She kills softer.
Her philosophy aligns loosely with Hakuyune’s techniques: a blade cuts only what it wills, and the sea reveals only what is earned.
Power Ranking: Near-Hakuyune Precision Tier
Threat Level: Fleet Eraser / High Assassin
Prow Title: Great Pearl Vanguard
Pearl Specialty: Titan Strength / Giant Pearl Integration
Status: Teenage Monster, Rival of Hakuyune (in spirit if not power)
At 15 years old, Flexor is the youngest Captain in recorded history.
His prow is a training ground, playground, and battleground all at once.
He wields:
A giant-sized pearl broadsword
Moves like a rebounding cannonball
Throws his massive weapon like a dagger
Has fought Hakuyune twelve times
Flexor claims he is undefeated because “the fight’s not over until one of us dies.”
Hakuyune allows this interpretation.
Power Ranking: Admiral-Level Threat (potentially greater)
Threat Level: Unpredictable / Cataclysmic Mobility
Prow Title: The Bone Aerie
Pearl Specialty: Cursed Pearls (Decay / Hunger / Echo)
Status: Scavenger Emperor, Master of the Dead Seas
Zereth commands the largest network of haulers, scavengers, and corpse-pickers in the Polar region. His prow is coated in whale-bone armor carved with cursed runes.
He collects dying pearls, cracked pearls, and pearls that whisper.
Only Hakuyune and Thornmaw can stand near him without nausea.
Zereth is feared because he does not kill for rage—
he kills for inventory.
Power Ranking: Arch-Cursed Tier
Threat Level: Pearl Catastrophe Hazard
Prow Title: Tempest Cradle
Pearl Specialty: Meito Storm Pearls (Wind / Lightning)
Status: Strategic Genius, Pirate Folk-Hero
Maela is the tactician of the Seven Prows, a woman whose storms can sink cities. Her hull is surrounded by an eternal electrical maelstrom controlled through a Pearl Conductor Mast.
She reveres Hakuyune, trusts Thornmaw, fears Zereth, and treats Flexor like a nephew she’s planning to weaponize.
Her clashes with Privateer stormcasters are legendary.
Power Ranking: High Admiral Tier
Threat Level: Storm-Level Catastrophe
Prow Title: Gilded Gorge
Pearl Specialty: Economic Pearls (Luck / Attraction / Greed)
Status: Pirate Economist, Hoarder, Folk Legend
Rhondal is fat, flamboyant, brilliant, and disturbingly persuasive. His entire prow is a moving casino-bazaar throne room where:
Fortunes are built
Lives are wagered
Pearls are traded
Law is rewritten on a whim
He has survived more assassination attempts than any living pirate because wealth bends fate his way.
Rhondal’s fleets bankroll every Buccaneer war.
Even Hakuyune acknowledges him as essential.
Power Ranking: Economic Sovereign Tier
Threat Level: Societal Collapse Risk
Force
Fleet Size
Pearl Inventory
Respect from Hakuyune (the unspoken rule)
Hakuyune holds spiritual dominion
Razorback holds military muscle
Maela holds strategic power
Rhondal holds the treasury
Thornmaw holds intelligence
Zereth holds fear
Flexor holds potential
The Seven rarely agree on anything—
except that the world must not be ruled by Epsilon, the Shogunate, or the Dynasty.
