The Redbills
- See also: Lore
Whilst many sky pirates sink to pillage and plunder, the Redbills take to the skies in search of treasure and freedom. Under the command of one Leofard, the crew navigates the Sea of Clouds—well known for its daring adventures despite the small numbers which employ its ranks.
History
The Redbills began with Leofard and Stacia Myste, two orphans from the Brume who left the Holy See to become adventurers. The pair fell in love with the skies during their first voyage upon a passenger airship, and decided there and then to acquire a vessel they might call their own. After many years and many more adventures, they had amassed a sizable hoard of plunder, and sold every last piece to purchase a derelict Highwind Skyways ship marked for disposal. Now calling themselves sky pirates, the two gathered together a crew and set out to make a name for themselves as pioneers of the Sea of Clouds.
During the course of their adventures, the Redbills caught sight of a derelict “ghost” ship aimlessly circling the empty skies. With the aid of an adventurer of no small repute, they resolved to board and explore the enigmatic vessel. So it was they came to set foot upon the Void Ark, a gargantuan airship built by the Fifth Astral Era civilization of Mhach. The Ark, it appears, was created in haste to carry the people of Mhach to safety from floods which would eventually see Eorzea swallowed whole. Its engines were of a unique design that seemingly tapped the life energies of voidsent to power the turbines, and therein lied the reason for the vessel’s destruction. These fell beings would eventually escape their fetters and run rampant within the ship—rendering it a ghostly shell. Within the Ark, the Redbills encountered Cait Sith, a magicked feline, and from him learned of the threat posed by two most powerful voidsent: Scathach and Diabolos. It was this revelation that spurred the Redbills to abandon their petty banditry, if not for but a moment, so that they might fight to free the skies they hold so dear. The Redbills discovered these floating isles while exploring the Sea of Clouds, and upon them built the Parrock— their base of operations. [1]
