Kolkuzhn Jailhouse

You have been found guilty of allowing a lawkeeper from the mainland to sully our shores with their arrogance.

Although they were killed off by the unplanned appearance of Captain Bloodscale and her Bloodeyes themselves, your intent was clear.

For this most heinous of crimes, you are hereby sentenced to exile from this haven. Starting one day from now, the pirate cease-fire will no longer apply to you, your current crew, or any ship you happen to be serving on.

I suggest you go and prepare to set sail.

Strict rules, not good rules

The Jailhouse is the central hub of law-keeping in Kolkuzhn, and operates almost completely of its own accord, answering only to Captain Bloodscale.

One might think this makes the island a gentle, safe, family-friendly place to visit. One might be correct, if it weren't for the fact that the rules are:

  1. Don't kill, unless in self-defence or the defence of another

  2. Don't step aboard someone else's ship without explicit consent

  3. Don't bring mainland law-enforcers to shore

Other than that, essentially anything goes.

'Jail' house

The punishment for most crimes against Kolkuzhn is exile or execution, so the actual 'jail' part of the jailhouse sees little use other than as a drunk tank.

Pretty interesting that breaking the rules actually brands pirates as being free to raid by other pirates.

Feel free to check my new world Terra Occidentalis if you want to see what I am up to!

Yup! Kolkuzhn operates on a profitable but very fragile ceasefire...
