Limsa Lominsa

Founded in 875 of the Sixth Era, the maritime city-state of Limsa Lominsa was founded by Sea Wolf refugees from Aerslaent. Forced to leave their homeland after a failed rebellion against a tyrannical King, Admiral Elilwaen and the crew of his flagship Galadion came to Vylbrand believing it was uninhabited. After conflict erupted with the native kobolds, however, they were forced to build in the reefs around their derelict vessel. At first, Limsa Lominsa was a shanty town, the populace made of of coinless refugees. This changed after occupying the nearby forests, allowing them to build ships and use their skills as sailors to engage in acts of piracy across the five seas.
This lasted for several centuries, but the eventual decline of piracy's golden age and the threat of the Empire caused the current Admiral, Ravus Altius, to outlaw piracy altogether in the interest of forging lasting alliances with other city-states of Aldenard. He also created the city-state's Grand Company, the Maelstrom, in 1572 of the Sixth Era, consolidating all the city-state's resources to defeating the Empire.
Though the original founders of Limsa Lominsa were Sea Wolf Orcs, Tabaxi and Humans came to dwell in the city-state after being forced to serve aboard pirate ships, while halflings came to trade in stolen goods. The native Kobolds still make their home in the north of Vylbrand, and Sahagin have claimed a place in western La Noscrea.
