In the tavern and a few other public places around Oak Harbor, mostly close to the docks, you can find a poster advertising “The Oak Harbor Sailors’ Association.”
The Oak Harbor Sailors’ Association
The Oak Harbor Sailors’ Association is meant to be a point of unity for any and all seafarers. We aim to offer a healthy, respectable, and positive organization for people who want to engage in oceanic adventure. It is our stance that the common pirate does not represent most who wish to sail, and those who wish to sail should have a place to go they know to be reputable.
Members of TOHSA agree to the following:
-
We are not pirates. We do not arbitrarily rob, hijack, or kidnap people at sea. These things can be done with discretion to people who are themselves known pirates, but are not to be done for the sake of cruelty.
-
We do not knowingly accept work that will leave the world a worse place.
-
Anyone from any walk of life can be a sailor, even if the image most people carry in their minds is of a Peleset. Thus, anyone can be a member of the sailor’s association so long as they take part in oceanfaring activity.
-
If payment is being taken as part of a sea venture, the cost of services being rendered on that venture should be within twenty-five percent of the attached prices, up or down, plus or minus one Leaf for rounding. Members are of course permitted to simply not take payment for endeavors they consider worthwhile as they see fit.
-
The crew of member vessels are to be compensated fairly, being paid for any skills they provide on a venture and/or an equitable split of the base pay. If a venture is being done at no charge, it is not a given that any particular member of the crew is forgoing their due pay, although they can if they so choose.
-
Membership is voluntary. If a sailor in Oak Harbor doesn’t wish to join, that is their decision and it is to be respected, and sailors in Oak Harbor who are not part of TOHSA are not bound by its rules.
-
Like membership itself, participation in any given venture is voluntary. If you work with a specific Captain, you are not obligated to accompany them on any work they take.
If you wish to be a member of TOHSA or hire our services, inquire with Admiral Durand Nash.
