Age of Piracy

The Age of Piracy is the name given to the period of time between 313 - 499 AC. It was characterised by drastic social upheaval, where an influx of marauders and pirates took to the new seas and dominated them. Historically, it followed the Glory Days and preceded the modern day.

The Age of Piracy is widely regarded to have ended with the Battle of Banecastle in 499 AC, where Ulthir - the most powerful of the seven Pirate Warlords - was killed. Shortly following this was the execution of Red Keg Roscoe and the 'forced retirement' of Lasco, Finn the Whale-Eater and Lord Zaeth, removing the central figures of piracy from the Great Dark Sea in favour of the Coalition's rule.
