| History |
Sparn's ship and following fleet are ruthless in their quest to plunder all ships who defy them. Sparn's crew show no remorse when it comes to ransacking villages, boarding enemy ships and/or killing of enemy crew and make a great living in doing such tasks. This ship is known to be fast, very maneuverable and shallow of float, allowing Sparn the ability to attack enemy ships under almost all circumstances. If an enemy fleet is encountered that poses any threat to the Shadow's Scorn and her crew, a tactical getaway is always in the mind of her captain. |

Tigr's ship was recently seized from a RalynKhorme Trader, he is now using it to set about killing all he comes across, taking what he wants (not actually needs) he has a huge pile of wealth hidden away.
His usual tactic is to fly the colors of RalynKhorme, sneak up on unsuspecting vessels and board them, he then sets about massacring the crew with a ruthless efficiency.
This ship is slowly gaining a reputation throughout the straights of RalynKhorme causing increased weaponry to be installed on new vessels.
