Flashing Rapier

General Information

The Flashing Rapier is a 16th Century Ship Household based out of the Barony of Glymm Mere, in the Kingdom of An Tir. She was started in 2001 when her Captain, William Richard Drake, moved to An Tir from Artemesia. The Flashing Rapier is run by Captain Drake with help from his wife Serena Zane, and his crew, which currently numbers around 20 members with a smaller core group that is fully active. The ship started in the Shire of Rivers Bend, where most of the crew still reside, but moved to the Barony of Glymm Mere in 2009. The ship is modled after the "race built galleon" type of ship from the late 16th century. The captain and crew strive to keep things in the household within the pre 1600 period. The crew itself reside in several branches from Dragon's Mist to Glymm Mere along the I-5 corridor.
