Pirates in Aebrynis

[Sorontar]

Yarrrrrrr! Today is International Talk Like a Pirate Day (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intern...e_a_Pirate_Day).

How have you used piracy in your campaigns? Were the pirates just a nuisance to trade routes? Was a pirate king a regent? Was a pirate king a rival guildmaster? Was piracy used as an official law enforcement/military power by a lawful regent against neighbouring domains (or even guilders in their own province)? Or have you just seen piracy as an illegal activity that only chaotic regents would exercise?

For thar be much t' plunder on those seas.
