    You're welcome. I find it useful for fleshing out NPCs that might appear in the court of a great lord or even as one of the resident "specialists" that PCs may have to deal with from time to time.

    Pirates are a threat to merchantile ventures. to find out exactly how ruthless pirates can be, from the taking of goods to the taking and leading the entire population of a town away in chains... I give you:

    Empires of the Sea by Roger Crowley.

    It is about the struggle between the Holy Roman Empire and the Ottaman Empire in the Mediterranean 1480 - 1570. While late Medieval, it covers some of the deals that western powers made with pirates like Barbarosa. Very nasty stuff. Might work well for anyone using the captain, Sari bint Bédize, of the Black Arrow in Cities of the Sun (Ariya, pg. 14).

    First, thanks for this one.

    Second, while I was adding it to my amazon wishlist like many of the other books you've posted I noticed 2 other titles by him. The book City of Fortune gave me an "ah ha" moment. Venetian = Maesetian.

    You're welcome. It's a quick read.

    Interesting about the Masetian/Venetian possible connection. They seem to be depicted as the great leaders in global navigation and travel, when the rest of Aduria was still slapping puddles with sticks. *grin*

    In my campaign, we've introduced a historical figure named Aurelius Saria, the younger brother of the Emperor Maltos Saria. Aurelius, also called the Navigator, set out on behalf of his brother to locate new lands and peoples. The ship he sailed on is akin to the supership the Syracusia (a model of the concept can be found on the Model Boats page). A character in the game has recently come across the scrolls of his travels.
