Pirates of the Vast Sea

As an organization of pirate captains loosely led by Aeros Drogunok, the self proclaimed King of the Air and Sea, the pirates of the Vast Sea are a menace to Thamar , Boriss , and Frasnir. Along with his advisor, Drazeeros, the pirate king rules from his base of operations at Dragon Tooth. The pirates profited greatly during the Great War as the kingdoms were too distracted with one another to defend themselves from pirates. However, peacetime has afforded the kingdoms to turn their attention to the pirates. In response, Aeros has tried restraining his pirate crews to keep from pushing the kingdoms from uniting against him.
Recently, some rebellious pirates tried usurping the "throne", but Aeros and the Party killed the rebellious leaders. For now, Aeros has tentative peace with the Dawn Alliance.

Current Pirate Captains:

• Karissa: a former pirate captain turned adventurer, Karissa became a captain against after her and the Party were gifted the Maelstrom. The half-elf is one of Aeros's most trusted captains and he knows he can trust her to complete nearly impossible tasks.
• Scara Droconus: A female dragonborn that commands a number of ships that are willingly to help those stranded after a storm, for a price of course...
• Balona Brufic: A master strategist, Captain Balona is a dwarven women that leads a small number of technologically advanced ships courtesy of the gnomes she's swayed to her cause.
• Buffle Lodri: A paranoid gnome, Captian Buffle is suspicious of magic and magical technology developed by his kin.
• Lerissa Tunare: Although the other pirates view the tiefling druid-pirate and her crew as strange, Lerissa cares not for the concerns of people. The nature loving tiefling leads a ship full of like minded druids that prefer staying in their animal forms.
• Carl Worthington: A former con man, Carl has proven to be one of Aeros's most loyal captains and enjoys a larger fleet than most for being so close to the fearsome dragonborn king.
• Kala Nremyn: Captain Kala is aggressive and use to have a terrible rivalry with her brother, Mordai, before he was killed for rebelling against Aeros. The two elven captains use to fight one another in what other captains called the Nremyn Civil War.
