Bloodletters

The Bloodletters are a sellsail company based in Gulltown. Originally a maritime courier service, they have since evolved into a potent war fleet.

During a period of increased pirate activity in the Narrow Sea, the mere movement of information from Westerosi ports to the Free Cities became a dangerous task. The founders of the Bloodletters distinguished themselves for their reliability and guile; with small, agile ships, they could be trusted to evade and outrun corsairs on the high seas.

They later expanded their service to include the delivery of precious cargo, necessitating larger and sturdier ships that could fight, rather than flee, the pirates of the Narrow Sea. After cultivating a talent for naval warfare, they began operating primarily as a sellsail company. Nevertheless, they still occasionally contract with merchants who only seek to protect their most valuable shipments.
