Privateer's Union

The Masara Archipelago has been home to several pirate clans since the War of the Scale. The Nimarun Dynasty largely ignores pirate ships, and even fleets, so long as they are not within the waters they lay claim on and they do not actively attack their navy vessels. The pirate clans offer an extra level of protection to all of the Masara Archipelago, and the rulers of Kisa'arn know this quite well. While there have been pirate clans in these waters for thousands of years, they are typically not around long enough to truly establish themselves as actual kingdoms. There are only three that have managed to overcome the odds and carve out a more unique existence.   Regardless of the affiliation, most pirates belong to an organization known as the Privateer's Union. It is a gathering point and set of simple rules between pirate crews that all involved adhere to specifically when in a pirate port, in order to provide a safe haven to the members. Do not draw blood from one another when on dry land. Do not steal from one another when on dry land. Do not lie to one another when on dry land. Let all feuds be settled out on the open sea.   The Union is overseen by the current tidal king (pirate king to the uninitiated).
