Whitewater

Archipelago (The bahamas) is home to pirates and the confederacy. Currently under the control of Admiral Steiner, the owner of the largest fleet and his men known as The Sea Beggars, though groups of pirates may wish to take that control from him.

Whitewater is a pirate port with caribbean flair, home to the types of fair you would expect, voodoo priests, bazaars with odd trinkets and possibly illicitly gained goods, raucous taverns, ships and crews milling about. Underwater adventures are also likely to occur, because who knows what treasures lie below the  waves?

The confederacy however is always nearby. Their main settlement is the Port of Saints, and they are very opposed to pirates, and rather law abiding.

Nearby to these ports, though rightfully avoided,  is the Sea of Serpents (think the bermuda triangle), home to eldritch horrors beneath the waves. Stagnant islands may appear, built of old chunks of seabed, pushed to the surface, and are likely to disappear at will just as easily.

Cannons, flintlocks, and ships ahoy!
