"Give our sails a gust, Ms Orocho!" Talogan called back as he loaded his own crossbow "Time is of the essence! And I want to waste as little of it as possible!". Talogan then looked to his first mate and the four men with him. "One of you be ready to hoist the Colors high as we approach!" Talogan commanded. The Colors was the flag Talogan and his crew sailed under. Like many other pirate flags, it was used to satisfy the first tenant of the Transanic Pirate Code: to give fair warning to any prey encountered at sea. Also like other pirate flags, it featured a unique design to identify which pirate you were dealing with.

The Colors was a black flag, which signified that those who surrendered would be left alive. It featured a red axe with a blade dripping with blood running horizontally along the top of the flag. As the holy symbol of Maglubiyet, the bloody axe represented the ships devotion to the goblinoid god of war. Well, the captain's devotion at least. The bloody axe also represented that the crew was willing and able to fight, and that not surrendering would result in slow, violent, painful, and bloody death. Below the axe stood a red figure wearing a blue hat and a blue coat. This represented the ship's captain and his brutal yet civil nature. In the figure's left hand was a white glass raised in a toast to death and conquest, the blood that dripped from the axe was falling into the glass. In the figure's right hand was a white hour glass with blue sand in the top half and red sand in the bottom, to represent that the biggest difference between civility and brutality was how quickly surrender was offered. The figure was standing on a pair of skulls. A single red word lay beneath each skull. Beneath the left skull was the word 'Elf', and beneath the right skull was the word 'Orc'. This showed that no quarter would be given to elves or orcs. Finally, a sea of blood lay at the bottom of the flag. The sea of blood was filled with the desecrated holy symbols of various non-goblinoid deities, showing contempt for other pantheons and stating that no quarter would be offered to holy men of other gods either.
