Difference between revisions of "Crow's Song"

The ''Crow's Song'' began as a legal, merchant 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|19}}{{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|19}} The ship's sprouter, [[Weev]], was also helping Crow, but when he started blackmailing her she had him thrown off the ship under the guise of him refusing to turn pirate.{{book ref|tress|31}}
