Piracy
Piracy is a branching system that involves acts of thievery on both land and water. Most pirates participate in both, with the general idea of engaging in illegal activity to make a profit. Though piracy has existed in Jiwenia since the beginning, it only truly began to earn attention at the end of the Era of Blood. Most countries have 'outlawed' and condemned such activity besides Caezios, also known as the Land of the Thieves.
Throughout the kingdoms, the general consensus is that piracy is illegal, and those who would call themselves pirates be sent to trial. Despite this mindset, little is done to stop the spread and continued action of pirates. Those that do attempt to slow it have seen their efforts as ineffective. This inaction only increased when slavery became commonplace. Though slave hunters are legal, most are pirates and are paid handsomely for stealing and bringing back ships of slaves for those interested.
