Welcome aboard the Scarlet Storm, a pirate galleon whose crew decided freedom and adventure sounded better than the tightly-laced life of high society. We may still wear corsets and enjoy afternoon tea, but we're all too handy with a sword and pistol - and we can do things with rope that make most sailors blush.

We like history. We like magic. We like science. We especially like the unconventional. Think you'd fit in? Then grab a quill, make your mark, and join the ranks.

Just do us all a favor and don't mention ninjas around the crew.

A note from the Alchemist: I'll be frank - there isn't much to this site right now. It's just my personal corner of the Web. I'm a gothic steampunk geek, and most of what gets posted here probably has some connection to one of those subcultures. If that stuff piques your interest, great; if it bores you senseless, let me save you time and point you in the direction of the Links. See if there's something more appealing in that list. If not... well, if not, frankly I have no idea how you ended up here at all. Go home.
