“We’re rascals and scoundrels, we’re villains and knaves. Drink up me ‘earties, yo ho. We’re devils and black sheep, we’re really bad eggs. Drink up me ‘earties, yo ho.”

Welcome to the high seas of the Forgotten Realms!
Commerce is healthy and expanding with the many trade routes connecting Toril’s continents and islands beyond the central continent of Faerun, including the regions of Al-Qadim, Kara-Tur, and Maztica.Some trade is even opening with mysterious Osse to the South. Theese shipping lanes are filled with wealthy merchant ships wary of the pirates and freebooters who seek to prey upon them. Under a black flag, the these plunderers sally forth from parts unknown, raiding the ships of only to vanish back into their lawless maze of islands and reefs that they call home. The many trade consortium agents have hired privateers to deal with the pirate menace once and for all, but often these mercenaries turn out to be as bad as their prey. For now, piracy is alive and well in the Forgotten Realms.
