Pirate The Gun Show


When it comes to getting a job done, no one is more brutal than an offworlder known only by his call name.

"Th' name's Captain Razorshard. THE Captain Razorshard. Ye'll do well t' remember it!"


If it isn't a ship he's rammed his hullbreacher into, it's the poor sops' booties stuck inside the crippled vessel he's already begun to shoot his way through.

Bantioc "Look Ma!"



"... Look what Papa and I caught!"

It's a very old tradition among families of Bantioc, tracing its roots long before the mighty Imperial Navy was a twinkle in the eyes of the island dwelling Arinos.

A rite of Passage of young Arinos boys to set out into the open ocean with his father or grandfather to bring back home a meal worthy to feed the entire village. 

A tradition kept alive even after some three thousand years to set out into the deep blue sea to catch that what marks him as an adult.

Happy Fathers' Day, Marcus! Always proud of his Alexander, the chip off the old block!

Pirate Just about Dawnin'

"Life isn't easy when you're out an about on your own. Sometimes you just want to sleep in a little after the rough navigation. But if you want food on the table, you've got to rouse up at the crack of dawn, grab your trusty net, and shake off that drowsiness. But he's always there, with that calm look on him. You better watch it though, he's quick to muscle in if you miss your first catch of the day."

Bantioc Christening the Cockpit

It's not often the Imperial Bantioc Navy rolls out new sets of wings for the Air Force. But when there's a new pair of wings to spread, some can't help but get a feel for the new upholstery, the controls, the view.

A fine chip off the old block. Ace Pilot, 7 High Honors, Valedictorian, and one of the youngest Vice Admirals.

At least Papa Roh won't find out what Li'l Roh did right before he took the new Skylark out for a spin.

At least that's what Alexander Roh wants to believe.

Ferlovious The Encounter

We call them Draconians.

An ancient race of our world, hardened to the apex of their evolution by the unforgiving Deserts of Ferlovious.

Sun Divers.

Revenants.

Sand Drakes.

They're known by many names.

But none speak louder than their presence.

Galivas The Lantern Festival

It starts with picking the right color of the paper.
Red for Happiness.
Yellow for Prosperity.
Blue for Peace.
Orange for Health.

Then build the frame that best portray your resolution.
Cylinder for Spreading Love.
Box for More Wealth.
Cone for Good Harvest.
Ball for Gaining Strength.

After that, it's time to decorate! Draw or paint the crest of family or heritage, or write messages of good fortune.

Once it's done, light it up and hang it on the pole to raise it high into the air. As the Parade starts, the streets will be light just by the Lantern Festival. Everyone will be there, so come join us!
