Okay, I understand now. I said Phoenix Co. focuses more on naval tactics while Blood Raiders focus more on covert operations and terrorism. Notice I did not say they were Al Qaeda, the Unibomber or Timothy McVeigh, I meant, quite literally, TERRORism. I came to this conclusion from the description on the Blood Raiders site:

This small group of warriors are trained in many aspects including melee combat, archery, alchemistry, wizardy and relegious arts, mind manipulation, battle field tactics, use of plagues and poisons, impersonation and disguises, *sailing and naval warfare*, silent movement and breaking into enemy territory, and escape and concealment.

The Blood Raiders are a small group commited to the protection of the kingdom inside and out. They are ready to serve the kingdom from doing a mission into enemy territory to guarding royality in their voyages.

The Blood Raiders follow the battle field tactic of causing chaos in the enemy ranks. This is done by poison, plagues, magic and out right blood frenzies. Thus how they got their name. They also use traps and ambushes for assaination and also use potions that would cause great pain on its victims,
I took the liberty of bolding incidences where I thought it fit into "covert operations and terrorism" and *starred* the one mention of naval tactics.

Also read the description of their training:

Now compare this to the list of skills from my site, which focuses almost entirely on naval aspects of CP:

I think there is a pretty BIG distinction between the two...
