Pirates

The pirates haunt the coasts of Qhuchit and Solum, stealing from merchant ships and living roguishly off the spoils. They have a collection of highly secret ports located in the islands south of Qhuchit. The dangerous nature of these waters makes them the ideal place to make an escape to, beyond the reach of Solum and Qhuchit's navies, their main enemies since the founding of the "nation".

Little is known about their system of government, if one should exist at all, but there do seem to be several prominent figures in their community that command respect, and appear frequently on the "wanted" rosters of Qhuchit and Solum. One would assume that they have some arrangement of self-governance in place, for their attacks on the naval trade routes are often far too organized to be efforts of a single person.

Similarly, there is no real information about their social practices, or their chosen gods. Given that they are sea-folk dependent on fair weather and clear vision, it could be surmised that they pay tribute to Ilios, but when anyone has been close enough to a pirate to ask, generally, the topic hasn't come up.
