fire emblem three pirates: pirates of fodlan
(headcanon notes under the cut)
Black Eagle Pirates
Captain Edelgard ‘The Emperor’ Hresvelg’s outfit is mostly appropriated from the royal navy which drives the Church insane.
Their flag is a skull looking towards the future, with three swords behind it spread like eagle wings
Edelgard’s first mate Hubert keeps a flock of messenger eagles which Edelgard borrows from regularly so she can have a menacing black parrot eagle on her shoulder when she needs to make a public appearance
The Adrestian Empire is the British Empire in this context. They are the largest pirate fleet in the Adrestian sea.
The Black Eagle pirates are known for employing and promoting pirates despite their previous status in society, so slaves, commoners, nobility, military and destitute men/women have an equal chance to be given high ranks and even ships in Edelgard’s fleet. A popular idea amongst pirates.
Blue Lion Pirates
Captain Dimitri ‘Le Sanglier’ (The Mad Boar) Blaiddyd has a bloodthirsty reputation that precedes him. His outfit is heavily inspired by Barbossa from PotC because he’s a dramatic goth pirate
Dimitri’s eyepatch is just so good here. My bro told me to give him a peg-leg too and a hook hand but I don’t think I can just lop off half his limbs like that.
Their flag is a skull baring lion’s teeth. The crossbones behind the skull represent revenge for the dead.
The Kingdom of Faerghus are the French in this context. They are not the wealthiest pirates but are hardy and difficult to catch.
The Blue Lion Pirates are not looking for gold in particular, but out for revenge and justice. They are notably more patriotic than other pirates, and strategically target certain ships and ports when plundering, while leaving others completely unharmed. Those who cross them at sea never know whether they will face the Mad Boar’s wrath, or his mercy.
Golden Deer Pirates
Captain Claude ‘The Schemer’ Riegan is an enigmatic pirate with unknown origins. His outfit is inspired by real life pirate Calico Jack Rackham, who was known for wearing flashy gaudy clothing.
Their flag is a skull with two crossed swords behind it, whose hilts are often mistaken for horns.
The Leicester Alliance are the Spanish in this context, and Almyra is the Moghul Empire.
No one knows what the Golden Deer pirates are here for exactly, but they know how to have a good time. They are famous for accepting any man from any nationality, and are the most racially diverse and multilingual pirates of the region. They are also famous for throwing the wildest parties and feasts after a good raid, and are often spotted running away from angry locals after having too much fun in town.
