Endless Isles: The Oath

Two-Dagger Torriaeu, the legendary Laugher of Louisport and the Haverland Sacker managed to steal Death away, taking her away and learning the secrets to life eternal. He swore the first oath, and bound death to whisper the oath to the greatest pirates of every age to come, to keep the seas free from the tyranny of Kings.

Two-Dagger Torriaeu
stole the death away
bound her to his ship
and made to deal with her

'We pirates will rule' said he
'we men of ship and sea
see that we shall never fall
and I will let ye be!'

And so death saw to it
that any pirate willing
should never parish
but never live true

Or so they say. What became of old Torriaeu after that is a mystery. Maybe he's still sailing the seas, with death at his side. None can say for sure.
