The Nauts

Freedom loving pirate folk who are almost a nation unto themselves across their hundred or so ships. They arrived on the Khorvairian scene only recently but have quickly established themselves as the dominant naval power on the eastern coast, causing massive problems in particular for the The Lhazaarian slavers.
They are honest, battle-ready people who have a rich history of heroes. They come not from Sfaíyra originally but arrived on its eastern horizon some hundred years ago under mysterious circumstances which they themselves do not really understand. Before that, they had only known the His Thousand Isles which they protect from the Xathanalean Commonwealth of the Yrillian mainland that lies further to the east. Now they are stretched, even with a fleet their size, as they look to ensure justice on the waters is not disturbed by the tyrant to their east or the slavers to their west.
The His Thousand Isles are a collection of many small Island communities, mostly empty now, of all different sorts of races and peoples. The Nauts themselves though were actually founded, by creatures from below the surface. A triton who went only by the name Saf still serves as an inspiration to the crews of today’s ships. They even still worship a god of the Triton people; Visraza. To the Nauts, Visraza is the sea itself and, they say, even takes the form of a mighty sea serpent sometimes to aid them in battle.
