Council of the Pearl
Board of influential pirates that rules Marena with a few common rules and defends it against the crown.
Goals
The Council wants Marena to stay free. For that it needs two things: that the pirates do not kill one another, and that the kingdom finds no pretext to enter. So the rules it sets are few and serve the common good of its own.
Organization
It is not a government, and no one in Marena calls it one. It is a group of pirates with enough weight that the rest accept what they agree. Its basic rules order the docks and the shares, and the order that comes of them largely keeps itself. The city lives in a calm that surprises anyone who arrives expecting a lawless tavern.
History
The Council arose from the constant threat of the Kingdom of Vesperia, which comes from Vesper and from Fort Tarsa. Against it, the captains of Marena agreed on common rules.
Allies and enemies
- Kingdom of Vesperia: enemy. It would like to impose its law on Marena, but lacks the strength so far from Vesper.
- The towns of Cirda closest to Marena receive its influence.
