Fangflower Bay
The Fangflower region, once known as the Duchy of Elrost, is a chaotic mess of ruined cities, abandoned keeps, and rough bandit camps. Some farmers till the land, mostly self-subservient hermits, with a few larger estates that tithe to a bandit lord or pirate king. Those few farms capable of growing barley or suger are considered sacred and are tightly controlled by the Council of Fangs. As a whole the region is a place for the desperate or impoverished with nowhere to go and nothing to lose.
One industry that is highly organised in the region is shipbuilding. Any carpenter or shipwright in Fangflower can expect to be held in effective servitude by the local pirate clans for their lives - and can also be expected to enjoy a comfortable, even lavish lifestyle, so long as their work remains high quality and is provided without asking questions. The Council controls the port facilities 'pro omnibus', and one of the only regular goals the Council will unify to pursue is to put one of their own in their place should that member make any attempt to gain singular control on any component of the industry of building or maintaining their ships.
According to Braeland officials, the Duchy of Elrost is held by Duke Peranide, but the Duke has never set foot in Fangflower Bay and spends his life in Starport. In truth all know it is the Council of Fangs that rules here - a close-knit mafia held together by complicated familial ties, old debts and raw fear. Each member of the Council is supposed to be a practiced captain of a capable military vessel and is bound to provide that vessel and its crew in defence of Fangflower against any common threat. The morals of members of the Council vary wildly - some will outright refuse to employ slave labour but will think nothing of executing the entire male populations of villages that oppose them, others will never knowingly harm an orphan but will happily sell them to clients in Eal or the Eastern Kingdoms.
