Red Sabre

"All these men and ships, we called ourselves the Red Sabre. The merchant ships called us death on the seas."

- Captain Torradan ap Dugal

The Red Sabre was a powerful fleet of pirates that exsited during the Third and Fourth Eras. It was created and led by Torradan ap Dugal, the Lord of Pirates and Tamriel's most powerful pirate king. The fleet was founded as a way for the various groups of pirates to take advantage of the chaos of the War of the Usurper to plunder riches beyond their wildest dreams. The fleet fought in the Pirate War where it was defeated. Dugal and his flagship, the Black Flag, were buried alive after battlemages collapsed a cliff over them. The crew survived but died out after several months, and the rest of the Red Sabre scattered or were destroyed. In 4E an unknown thief found Dunbarrow Cove and resurrected the Red Sabre. He recruited many pirates, spies, thieves, and blackmarket members and transformed the Red Sabre into a criminal organization that rivaled the Thieves' Guild.
