Dont you just love it

[Unseelie]

Right, the BD are allied with the GC, but despise cardamine...
the way I see that, the BD are allied with the GC because of the fact that the GC are a strong, growing revolutionary group, with similar goals as the BD...but, the BD do not like, or even have to associate with the Outcasts...the only reason they have any connection is the oversimplificated Outcast/Corsair white/Black pirate divisions...hell, they shouldn't even be pirates.
Outcasts stay out of Kusari...the Hogosha keep them out, the BD keep them out. The corsairs keep them out.
the only means of spreading cardamine is the GC.

The BD....are not on anyone's side, except the GC.
The BD are on their own side.
I would go so far to say, that the GC are on the BD's side, not the other way around.
As far as the BD are conscerned, the outcasts can go to hell, and the only reason they aren't friendly with the Corsairs, is that the Corsairs have ties to the current government, (which, they probably view as corruption)
