Blackwater Raiders

The Blackwater Raiders are a group of pirates, thieves and warriorsTraveler: The Spiral Path, pg. 310 operating in Booty Bay and closely affiliated with the Steamwheedle Cartel. They are led by Baron Revilgaz.Ultimate Visual Guide, pg. 152
Faldir's Cove, as it is called, is a small area located in the Arathi Highlands which was also held by the Blackwater Raiders. Though little more than a docked ship and a tent, this small port was home to a few crew members of the pirate organization. In Battle for Azeroth the cove was held by the Alliance presumably after the Blackwater Raiders had left.
==History==
The Blackwater Raiders existed before Gilneas closed its ports, and the Brashwater Crew were originally members of the Blackwater Raiders. Fleet Master Seahorn knew Bruce.
==Customs==
They are considered good men, respectable as pirates go.Shakes O'Breen (quest) It is an important Blackwater rule to only kill when necessary. As such, there's no love between the Raiders and the Bloodsail Buccaneers.

==In the RPG==
The Blackwater Raiders is one of the most notorious buccaneer bands in Azeroth.Lands of Mystery, pg. 192 They are a vile group of pirates who make their home in Booty Bay, on the Stranglethorn's southern coast.World of Warcraft: The Roleplaying Game, pg. 16 Despite the fact that they are pirates, the Blackwater Raiders are not really that much of bad guys. They are less interested in plunder and more interested in securing mercantile deals and widening the circle of ports with which they can trade.Lands of Mystery, pg. 76 The Blackwater Raiders are led by Baron Revilgaz.Lands of Conflict pg. 57
The port town of Edj, located in Kezan's northeastern coast, is controlled by them. The Trade Coalition has little inﬂuence over Baron Revilgaz, and indeed the Raiders attempt to go under, above, or around the coalition's head. They also control some of the harbors in the Barrens' coast.Lands of Mystery, pg. 28
===Rivalry with the Bloodsail Buccaneers===
The Bloodsail Buccaneers are the sworn enemies of the Blackwater Raiders, and at the behest of their leader, Duke Falrevere, they make forays against the Raiders' ships and, occasionally, their headquarters in Booty Bay.Lands of Mystery, pg. 80 The two have clashed numerous times over the last 5 years.Lands of Mystery, pg. 179
Duke Falrevere and every pirate under his banner seem to bear a personal grudge against everyone they come across, but this grudge is particularly strong when it comes to the Blackwater Raiders. Falrevere despises them because the trade princes provide the Raiders with gold, equipment and other support. Tavern tales say that the Blackwater Raiders are responsible for the death of Falrevere's son, Magrann Falrevere, who died before their cannons.Lands of Mystery, pg. 181
The Bloodsail frequent seedy taverns in Booty Bay, where they and the Raiders duel in the streets and bars. In addition to ambushing merchant ships that cross the South Seas, the Bloodsail and the Raiders are embroiled in a private naval war that spans the length of the South Seas.Lands of Mystery, pg. 180 Falrevere is holding several submarines secretly beneath Bloodsail Hold for now, for fear of tipping his hand to the Blackwater Raiders before he is ready.
===Ships===
*Shattered Dagger
===Members===
The Raiders are comprised of goblins, humans, and many others who swore them allegiance. After a raid, these pirates send their loot up the road to the Arena to sell, or even further into Azeroth.Lands of Conflict pg. 56
