The Nelanther
The Nelanther, known also as The Nelanther Isles, were a widely scattered chain of nearly one thousand islands west of Amn and Tethyr in the Trackless Sea. More than half the islands lacked potable water and were an unfit place to live. The hundreds of islands that could support life were fought over by ruthless pirates who tended to prey upon the shipping lines of Amn, Tethyr, Calimshan, the Sword Coast and the Moonshae Isles. Manlander maps showed many of the main islands and many of the minor islands, but not the shoals, currents, small exposed or submerged islets, and other hazards aming the inner Nelanther. Most of the islands were surrounded by perilous reefs.
Aside from their shared acts of violence and larceny, the Nelanthers had surprisingly little in common with the Pirate Isles of the Dragon Coast. The Nelanthers' pirates were nonhumans such as orcs, lizardfolk, ogres, minotaurs. These various races and factions waged war on each other as often as they did with outsiders. The reavers of the Nelanther Isles were entirely honorless pirates that tortured their victims, leaving them to horrible deaths. Except for a couple of smaller settlements, the pirates of the Nelanther Isles lived in their ships or in huts that could be abandoned at a moment's notice.
