Naval & Pirates

For pirate crews, naval clans and age-of-sail roleplay. Journo talks like your quartermaster, pays out Vogue and Doubloons, and seals letters in black wax.

Add Journo to DiscordWatch it in 30 seconds

Free plan included: once Journo joins, /config theme switches the look. From Standard, /layout apply builds the whole Naval & Pirates server.

A sealed Naval & Pirates letter addressed to Mira, marked “By Ship's Post”.
This one is addressed to Mira. Go on, be Mira.
A real letter drawn by Journo in this theme: scorched, salt-stained paper tied with twine and sealed in black wax. In Discord, /letter seals it and only the person it's for can break the seal.

What the theme changes

Run /config theme and pick Pirate / age of sail. Journo switches all of this for the whole server at once, and you can still change any single part with /config set.

An evening in The Black Tide

The Black Tide is a made-up pirate crew server. Every message below is Journo's real wording with the Naval & Pirates theme switched on. The names and numbers are examples.

Journo in #crew-deck: a Vogue daily reward, the quest board and the Vogue leaderboard

Daily rewards, quests and a leaderboard

Members claim /daily, work through quests and climb the leaderboard, all counted in Vogue. Base quests work on every plan. On Plus you add your own, like “Swab the deck”.

/daily/quests/leaderboard

Custom quests, streak bonuses and the points leaderboard come with Plus.

Journo answering a question in the Naval & Pirates voice, then delivering a sealed letter to Mira

Answers in character, letters under seal

/ask answers from your server's own rules and guides, like a cheerful ship's quartermaster, with a light pirate flavour. /letter seals a letter that only the person it's for can open.

/ask/letter/kb add-text

Letters work on every plan. The help desk answers 500 questions a month on Free.

A staff notice using the Naval & Pirates icons, a community goal in Doubloons and a raffle

Goals, raffles and your own icons

Staff post with the Naval & Pirates icon pack, members chip in to community goals, and every raffle entrant gets exactly one ticket. Coins can never buy a raffle entry, so the odds stay fair.

/goal contribute/raffle create/emojis install

Community goals come with Premium. Custom quests, streak bonuses and the points leaderboard come with Plus.

30 seconds in The Black Tide

Make your crew's server sail itself. The clip plays the same moments as the screenshots: a question answered in character, the quest board and leaderboard, and a letter whose seal gets broken.

Add Journo to Discord

The whole server in one command

On the Standard plan and up, run /layout apply and Journo builds a pirate crew for you: 23 channels in 6 categories, from #🗺️・bounty-board to #💰・treasure-hold, three forums, a staff-only area, ranks members earn with quests, and rules with a Verify button, so new members only see the rules until they agree. Channels you already have are kept, and nothing is ever deleted.

📜 The Ship's Articles

Every hand aboard signs these articles. Break them and you walk the plank.

  1. No mutiny against the crew. Treat everyone with respect.
  2. Keep the decks clean. Keep it safe for everyone: no NSFW, gore or shock content in messages, names, avatars, letters or AI pictures.
  3. No smuggling. No spam, scams, ads or self-promotion, and no unsolicited DMs to other members.
  4. Every hand at their post. Keep each channel on topic, put spoilers in spoiler tags, and use the forums for groups, suggestions and bug reports.
  5. Mind the ship's painter. Use the AI features kindly: no /imagine, /ask or letters about real people, or anything hateful, sexual or violent.
  6. Fair shares of the plunder. Play fair: one account per person.
  7. A sealed letter stays sealed. Respect privacy.
  8. The captain's word is final. Need help, or want to report something? Open a ticket in the help desk.

Discord doesn't allow custom emojis in channel names, so the names use standard emoji. Journo puts the Naval & Pirates icons everywhere Discord does allow them: the start-here guide, forum tags, the welcome screen on Community servers and role icons from Boost level 2.

Tell Journo about your server

The theme sets the look. One or two sentences about your server make the AI's answers, pictures, letters and moderation fit it. Here's a start you can change:

Paste into Discord
/config set key:theme.setting value:A Sea of Thieves alliance of six crews. We sail every Saturday at 20:00, split loot fairly and vote on each voyage in #polls.

Set it up in three steps

  1. Invite Journo

    Press Add to Discord and pick your server. Then drag Journo's role above any role it should hand out.

  2. Build the server

    On Standard and up, /layout apply makes the channels, forums, ranks and both icon packs in the Naval & Pirates style. Only want the look, or on Free? /config theme and pick “Pirate / age of sail”.

  3. Describe your server

    Paste the line above with your own details, then follow the guided tour. /setup-check shows anything still missing.
