Estrait
Estrait has a long and tumultuous history. Originally inhabited by a small community of fishermen, the island was largely ignored by the surrounding nations due to its rugged terrain and lack of valuable resources.
However, as trade began to flourish in the region, Estrait became a prime target for pirates who saw the island's strategic location as an ideal base of operations. Over time, a number of pirate crews established a presence on the island, building crude fortifications and establishing a bustling black market.
Despite the attempts of various nations to drive the pirates out, Estrait remained a haven for outlaws and smugglers. However, the town was not without its own form of governance - a council of pirate captains known as the "Brethren of the Coast" ruled over Estrait with an iron fist, enforcing their own code of laws and settling disputes among the various crews.
As the years passed, Estrait grew more prosperous, attracting not only pirates but also merchants and other entrepreneurs looking to take advantage of the island's thriving underworld. Today, the town is a hub of trade and commerce, with a reputation as a place where anything can be bought or sold - for the right price. Despite its reputation, however, the Brethren of the Coast still hold a tight grip on power, ensuring that the town remains a sanctuary for those who operate outside the law.
The Moonless Isles Trading Company first became interested in Estrait due to its strategic location on the Elsland to Escela naval passage way. While the town was technically under Escelan control, it was overrun with pirates and smugglers who saw the area as a prime location for plunder and trade.
Seeing an opportunity to profit off the illicit trade and piracy, the Moonless Isles Trading Company began making deals with the pirate captains who frequented Estrait. They provided the pirates with weapons, supplies, and safe harbor in exchange for a cut of their profits. In turn, the pirates brought in valuable goods and treasures from their raids, which the Moonless Isles Trading Company could then sell at a high profit.
As the Moonless Isles Trading Company's influence in Estrait grew, they began to establish a more permanent presence in the town. They built warehouses and trading posts, hired local laborers to work for them, and even installed their own guards and watchmen to maintain order in the town.
Over time, the Moonless Isles Trading Company's control over Estrait became so strong that even the Escelan authorities had to acknowledge their presence. While they continued to officially claim the town as their own, they turned a blind eye to the Moonless Isles Trading Company's activities, knowing that it would be unwise to provoke their wrath.
Today, Estrait is a bustling hub of illicit trade and piracy, with the Moonless Isles Trading Company at the center of it all. Despite its reputation as a dangerous and lawless place, merchants and adventurers alike continue to flock to the town, lured by the promise of wealth and adventure.
