The Pirates
History
There was once a pirate ship of twolegs. The captain owned a cat whom he named Elizabeth. Together they ruled the seas, looting and pillaging any who dared cross their path. One day, the captain decided to train his cat to fight. She was taught to climb the rope ladder, scale the mast in record time, and fight without mercy. She trained long and hard, and soon would fight with the pirates during raids. These twoleg pirates ruled the seas. Until tragedy struck. The ship was caught in a terrible storm. The magnificent ship sank and the entire crew died. Except Elizabeth. She managed to swim to a mast that floated and drifted to land. She traveled upriver, away from the ocean. She found an abandoned shipyard in a gorge and made her home there.
She started The Pirates, seeking cats who would join her. They would raid, loot, and pillage other clans. Elizabeth kept the pirate legacy alive in cats, and her clan continues to grow.
Territory
The Pirates live in an abandoned shipyard. There is one boat that is used as the camp, one for training, and one for battle. The shipyard is located in a gorge so there are forests to hunt in and a river to hunt in and travel on. The ship for camp is the largest and has three decks. On the top deck is where cats gather, socialize, have meeting, etc. The fresh kill pile is also located here, as are the hp dens. There is a balcony where the captain sits to make aannouncements. On the second deck all the semi hps and normal positions have their dens. There are working cannons on each side as well for defense. The bottom deck is the dungeon. The captain, first mate, and dungeonmaster each have a set of keys. This is where prisoners live.
The training boat has two decks and is located behind the camp. The first level has a balcony for viewers, a mast, and several rope ladders. Competitions are held here every moon. The second level has multiple fighting arenas and a stage. The fighting part of the competion is held here.
The third boat is for battle. It sits in the dock, ready to depart at a moments notice. It has two levels but is larger than the training ship. The first level has two masts, a maze of rope ladders, ropes to swing on, an anchor, and a rope ladder going down the side. The Pirates use this ship to go to war and to travel. The second deck holds all the weapons. There are knives, daggers, guns, and usable cannons and a stock of cannonballs.
The only way to get in the ship is through the top. A rope ladder going halfway down and a mast are the only way to get on, so you must be a good climber to gain access to the boats.
Beliefs
At the edge of the shipyard there is another ship. This is where the spirits of deceased Pirates communicate with the clan. You must go into the captain den of this ship and touch your nose to the pirate flag. Here you can communicate with the Marauders. When a cat becomes captain they recieve three lives. The doctor comes here every moon to get omens and prophecies.
Traditions
Every moon, all pirates who wish to compete go to the training ship. Every cat is to watch and the captain is the judge. Cats competing must climb the mast and ropes as fast as they can, run across the ship as fast as they can, and then fight. Whoever does best overall is the flagbearer until the next competition, and gets a special den for that moon.
The captain receives three lives.
The doctor visits the Marauders every moon.

The Pirates are know for being tough and brutal. In battle they fight without mercy and are stubborn and unforgiving. They are daredevils at heart and not much scares them. The leader is the best fighter and rules fairly and is willing to distribute punishment.
