Wolf Pirates
Culture
The Wolf Pirates are adept at fighting at sea and raiding on land, proficient at using open water and inland waterways to maximize their mobility.
Despite being culturally and linguistically unrelated to other Gloranthan peoples, the pirates from Ygg’s Islands have easily adopted the weapons and armor of others, and swiftly developed effective tactics, based on their knowledge of the sea and sailing. Their numbers have been swollen by recruits drawn from all around the Homeward Ocean, meaning that they can draw upon numerous fighting traditions, often unfamiliar to those they raid and pillage.
Their basic tactical unit is of a crew commanded by a captain. A Wolf Pirate penteconter typically has a crew of 50 warrior rowers, five officers, and one captain. This is their basic fighting unit, strengthened by comradeship and discipline, and a reputation for ferocious, often savage fighting qualities.
Whilst an opportunistic raid may be made by a single vessel, several ships are usually united under a senior captain; their piratical brotherhood is dominated by the toughest and most competent captains, who usually own the best ships and are followed by the most vicious crews.
Their raids have demonstrated an unnerving ability to scout out the wealth and weaknesses of their prey.
