Pirate's Landing

Located on the dangerous and resource rich island of Vax, the Free City of Pirate's Landing is a haven for criminals, degenerates, villains, and (naturally) pirates. Its treacherous bay is impossible to navigate without a pilot, and for this purpose the Governor of Pirate Island, Xander McLain has created the Pilot's League to keep track of and tax all who would enter his domain.
Parts of the city are built into the rocky bayside cliffs that overlook the port, while other sections of the city extend out onto the island of Vax. Resourcefulness is a much lauded quality in Pirate's Landing and much of the city has a used, second hand quality to its structures. Quite a number of the wood buildings seemed to have been built from old parts of sailing vessels, ships who found a second life in retirement.
Illegal activities, fencing of stolen goods, and the slave trade have created a stable economy for those who choose to make their living in Pirate's Landing and the carefully maintained peace, led by the governor's watchful eye, has allowed legal businesses to thrive as well.

Structure

The city is maintained by Governor Xander McLain and the Pilot's League.

Culture

Under penalty of death, all who enter Pirate's Landing are sworn to non-violence against each other while within the city limits. This has led to a fairly steady peace in Pirate's Landing, and a countryside replete with homicides.
