== In Orb Sceptre Throne==
Wreckers and pirates from the Confederacy descended on the remains of the Tiste Andii fortress Moon's Spawn after it crashed into the Rivan Sea and created a small chain of islands known as the Spawns. The pirates seized control of the nearby fishing village of Hurly, which was depopulated by tidal waves after the mountain's fall, and put restrictions on all shipping traffic in the area. They charged tariffs and transport fees to those treasure-hunters seeking to make their fortune in the ruins and defended their monopoly against four separate armed challenges.Orb Sceptre Throne, Chapter 1, US HC p.33
Confederacy slavers were a bane to the coastal populations of eastern Genabackis near Coral.

She based her forces at a new fortress built near the headwaters of the River Eryn.Orb Sceptre Throne, Chapter 7
