The Black Falcon II

Captained by the notorious Elvish pirate Blackmoon Bloodknife, this galleon is the terror of the seas.

Despite her tendency toward violence ("I love the smell of blood in the morning!"), Blackmoon is known to be a fair and generous captain who keeps morale high among her mostly Elvish crew.
