== History ==
=== Before Tress ===
The ''Crow's Song'' began as an ordinary, legal, ship. Sometime before the events of ''Tress'', Crow convinced the crew that unless they turned to piracy, they would be enlisted to serve in an impending war. She also told them that they would not kill and become [[deadrunner]]s unless under attack. Instead, they extort merchant ships and take their goods, thus filtering the money from them back into the economy.{{book ref|tress|17}} However, Crow intended to break that promise, as becoming deadrunners would ensure the crew's loyalty and force them to sail the Crimson Sea with her so she can find the [[dragon]] [[Xisisrefliel]] and cure her affliction.{{book ref|tress|31}}{{book ref|tress|32}} She also recruited cannonmaster [[Laggart]] to her cause, and he made false compartments in the bottom of the ''Crow's Song's'' cannons, in which he stored a destructive type of cannonball that he would switch out for the normal one during a battle.{{book ref|tress|17}}
=== Tress's Voyage ===
When Tress is stowing away on the ''[[Oot's Dream]]'', Crow and Laggart attack it during a break in the [[seethe]], using the destructive cannonball to put a hole in the Oot’s Dream’s hull.{{book ref|tress|10}} Tress escapes with [[Huck]], then walks across the spore sea to the Crow’s Song before the seethe lets up. When Tress climbs on board the ship, Crow orders her thrown overboard, but she proves her worth scrubbing the deck and the order isn’t brought up again.{{book ref|tress|12}} Crow tries to leave one of the Oot’s Dream’s crew alive to spread the word of her crime, but he dies anyway.
