Razor Islands

A lawless archipelago ruled by a council of pirates, buccaneers, and disgraced admirals, the Razor Islands is a tropical paradise infested with the dregs of humanity from across Avas.

Each island in the archipelago is governed separately, usually ruled by the most powerful and influential pirate on the island. These islands form a loose confederacy that only takes action when something threatens the Razor Islands as a whole, and infighting between the Razor Islands is commonplace.

The confederacy's ruling body is a council known as the Captain's Table. Each island has a representative member at the Captain's Table, though only those with sufficiently large populations or influence claim a voting seat. The Captain's Table is led by the Razor King, a mysterious pirate of immense power and influence.

The capital of the Razor Islands and home to the Captain's Table is Blackheart Bay, a sprawling city that rings a large deep water port. The city is protected from invasion by an artificial reef built from the wrecks of hundreds of ships and an impressive fort that overlooks the bay.
