Editing Pirates (section)

== Non-Pirate Sailors and Navies ==
[Storm Sailors] are not [Pirates], but it is the only known specialized class available to regular [Sailors]. However, [Storm Sailors] aren’t always honest; they can turn to piracy, but don't gain the class. Additionally, some Drowned Folk or those with some aspect of the sea can still be [Storm Sailors].<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2020/04/22/interlude-strategists-at-sea-pt-2/ Interlude – Strategists at Sea (Pt. 2)]</ref>

There are several factions and groups that patrol the oceans and fight [Pirates], among them are the following (land-based) nations: [[Zeres]], [[Nadel]], the [[Iron Vanguard]], the [[Minotaurs|Minotaur]] navy, the [[Drathians|Drathian]] navy, the navy of [[Pheislant]] and the Thalassocracy of [[Medain]] - not necessarily listed here in order of their power. Other potential dangers to [Pirates] are [[Wistram Academy|Wistram]] and [[Roshal]], "if you're at odds with them." However, in the grand scheme of things, land-based powers and their navies are not really considered true dangers by [Pirates]; there are dozens of things out at sea that are worse.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2019/09/03/interlude-rufelt/ Interlude - Rufelt]</ref>
