Trust of Eight

The Trust of Eight is a piracy group based out of the Sunset Sea to the south of the Sarriahn Dynasty, Orlas Empire, and the Empire of Keelor. It is made up of eight distinct piracy groups bound together by a loose confederation.

 

History
The Trust of Eight has existed for at least the last 60-70 years, though they do not know exactly when they were founded. Record keeping is not a strong suit nor was there likely a formal declaration of this loose confederation. It likely evolved in the aftermath of the Navy of the Empire of Keelor taking control of the Sunset Sea.

46 years ago, the Lichlord of Languil came to power in the Sunset Sea by sinking, according to legend, more than a hundred ships in The Keelorian Navy and merchant vessels in a single day. After this, the Keelorian Navy has largely stayed out of the Sunset Sea and the Lichlord of Languil has demanded a "tribute" of human sacrifice from the piracy groups, four individuals each month.

Recently, three pirate groups refused to bring tribute. Result was that Lichlord of Languil sent "hoods" to ravage pirate bases of operations across the Sunset Sea.
