Quote:Still not pirates!

In the advent of Fritz Fortuna's untimely demise, the outpost of Nilhirra deafened to a whisper, and word of piracy spread thin. In the years since, the seat of its late founder found itself arrogated by her first mate. A famously inane cambion who refuses to identify by any other name than King of the World, claiming to be--among many things--an immortal. Nearly a decade in the aftermath, the islands of Port Fortune and Nilhirra have agreed to consolidate as one, and unify as a nautical commonwealth. To usher in a new nation founded on the principles of freedom and liberty, christened the Petty Kingdom of Fortune.

☠

This loose amalgam of pirates privateers, brigands, outlaws, outcasts, and merchants, is to be headed by a trifecta. A council consisting of the cambion King as its de facto sovereign, Stede Vane as its Captain-of-Arms, responsible for the oversight of all military ventures, and Fabbondel appointed as its Chamberlain to preside over all matters of statecraft and diplomacy. The Nilhirra Grand company will continue to serve as Fortune's main body of operations under the firm leadership of Misperis.

☠

The Isle of Icaria, renowned for its fertility in markers like Azilaena, became a lucrative attraction for the disaffected peoples of Meranthe to settle. Chief among them, cambions desiring to eke out a living free of prejudice or the tyranny of demons. Humans of all stripes and walks of life are accepted on its shores--be they beastkin, cambion, sirenian, or faeborn--to exercise whatever faith they please. Numbers have burgeoned from the rubble and ash of old Pantheon, with reconstruction efforts for the incipient thalassocracy said mostly to be at the shrewd guidance of its Chamberlain.

⎈ While the rule of law remains mostly absent in the lands of Fortune, four simple edicts are asked of its constituents: no Trouble (with those those Fortune), no Demons, no Undead, and no Black Magicks. Despite this, there is a large laxity in their enforcement, and the islands continue to serve as a staging point for the less scrupulous actors of Meranthe. Furthermore, the practice of slavery is expressly forbidden.

⎈ The islands collectively boast an approximate population of 500-600, with the lion's share residing on Port Fortune, while the majority of refugee cambions and outcasts make a life on Nilhirra.

⎈ Roman, under the direction of Stede Vane, has been granted tentative vassalage of Mina Solis to undertake settlement efforts on the island. The cambion captain has expressed intentions of naming the newfound colony Nasou.

⎈ Hushed rumors emerge that talks with the goblin clan Óir and its chieftain may bring about a new wave of migration within the cliffsides of Nilhirra.
