He is a renowned as a competent and courageous marauder on the field (or seas) of war, reflecting his bravery. He has frequently had to calm the Admiral down since, when enraged, she will try to lead the charge. Grand Storm Marshal Slafyrsyn, the Maelstrom's second-in-command, serves as Merlwyb's valued counsel and draws on his fifty-eight summers of experience. But so long as we cling to this tradition, we will never know lasting prosperity." "Some among us believe that piracy is a time-honored tradition. The Foreign Levy makes up the last part of this armada it is an incalculably big group of adventurers whose knowledge of land combat makes up for Limsa's previous lack of it. It consists of pirate ships that respond to the Admiral's call, armed merchant ships that were requisitioned, and decommissioned warships refurbished for duty. On the other hand, the privateer fleet is an auxiliary force. Since being granted freedom, the Yellowjackets, who were originally the Barracuda's soldiers, have since been granted independence to maintain order throughout Lominsan territory. The Seventh Umbral Calamity caused the formal Lominsan navy and the Knights of the Barracuda to completely incorporate into the Maelstrom, albeit initially maintaining their own command structure. The former, which makes up five of the Lominsan Armada's initial nine squadrons, is the Maelstrom's primary force. The Crimson Fleet and the privateers are two armadas under the control of Maelstrom Command. The civilization's capital, Nym, was destroyed by the whirlpool's fury and succeeding lesser waves, and the survivors fled to other places to seek their fortunes. This tactic bought the townspeople enough time to flee to the mountains with the blood of many soldiers and scholars. They called forth an even more powerful maelstrom to snare the fury of the sea as it crashed into the city in the form of towering waves. The Marines drew a magickal geometry on the water's surface while sailing ships entered what is now known as Galadion Bay, formerly known as the Bay of Nym.

While averse to this encroachment on their independence, the city-state's pirates are willing to put aside their differences, lest the Garlean Empire take more than just their freedom. With the reestablishment of the Maelstrom, the Admiral has invoked ancient maritime law, by which she promoted herself to Chief Admiral in 1572, effectively expanding her authority to cover not only state and military dealings, but grant her the power to directly command all ships in Lominsan waters. The Maelstrom is an extension of the First Squadron, expanding its role as armada flagship, and granting it power to administer not only the remaining four squadrons, but the various merchant fleets that navigate the seas off Vylbrand. That is, until the appearance of an adventurer who set in motion the wheels of hope.At the heart of the Thalassocratic Navy lies the Crimson Fleet, composed of five independent squadrons, the First through the Fifth. With the recent attacks by the Garlean Empire seen as an imminent threat to the realm, there have been scattered talks of restoring the Grand Companies to their former glory, but conflicting agendas on all sides have slowed progress. It was through these companies that the then warring city-states were able to put aside their bitter differences and join together to form an alliance and ensure the realm survived. ![]() The last recorded of emergence of the Grand Companies was nearly 1,500 years ago, at the end of the Fifth Astral Era and the arrival of the great deluge which triggered the dark period known as the Sixth Umbral Era. ![]() ![]() One method, seemingly going back hundreds of generations, has been the establishment of comprehensive command centers which combine the military, economic and technological resources of a city-state in order to better prepare it for the coming doom.
