In [[Innworld]], [Pirates] | In [[Innworld]], [Pirates] may be grouped in several factions which are not all a happy family supporting each other. Instead, [[Drowned People|Drowned]] [Pirates] are entirely ocean-based and clash brutally with Regular Pirates, who are raiding the seas but return to the land again.

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."
