The Crow's Song is a pirate ship on Lumar originally captained by Crow, then taken over by Tress in Tress of the Emerald Sea.
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 deadrunners unless under attack. Instead, they extort merchant ships and take their goods, thus filtering the money from them back into the economy.[1] 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.[2][3] She also recruited 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.[1]

Crew Members
Dougs
The Crow's Song had an additional 52 crewmembers, who Hoid did not feel were important enough to his telling of Tress of the Emerald Sea to name individually, and they are therefore referred to as Dougs. He chose to call them all Doug because the name is extremely common throughout the Cosmere, and because one of them is actually named Doug.[5]
