Lead Kings
A former band of pirates anchored in the southern coasts of Myltev along the Largas Ocean. While King Nikolaj Baratov expelled and executed numerous pirate warlords during his reign, the Lead Kings evaded capture for years and by the middle of the 910's had dug themselves into the oft-neglected coastlines of southern Myltev. The origins of the Kings are shrouded in mystery, but three of them oversaw the pirate colony: Leshy, a druid skilled in the art of fortifications; Russalki, a mage who could bend the seas to her will; and Zmei, a silent warlord said to have survived a face-to-face encounter with the Sunken God.
Fearful of the legacy of past rulers like Cpt. Gordiefsky whose reigns collapsed after ill-fated expeditions, King Nikolaj has yet to wage an all-out siege against the Lead King's fortifications. In the meantime the Kings slowly accumulate wealth and power, raiding the mines on the neighboring island of Nevsky for fresh resources and crew. The situation changed in the 930's when the new Queen of Gameth Stella Nestorius provided Gamerian ships and armies to besiege the Lead Kings. The siege was long and costly, but the Lead Kings were finally defeated and banished from Myltev. Leshy and Russalki were both captured and executed, but Zmei disappeared in the final days of the war.
