Barbossa

Barbossa was a pirate state located in the East of Eldham. Consisting of multiple pirate groups and vassals in former Regnum Drakaes, Eleanor and USSE, they are considered one of the most influential and strongest nations throughout the history of Eldham. They follow the Deep Sea faith, following the direct orders of their overlord, the One-Eyed Kraken. Pirating, mercenary work and trade are their core business. They all did this from their capital city located north-east in their lands named The Isle of Krakens.
At the end of January 2022, the Barbossan government was overthrown via coup led by Sariel Silver Dawn, the lost son of Sarlician Silver Dawn. After sailing across the sea from his far away homeland, he implemented his form of worship of the One-Eyed Kraken, also known as Al-Krakhan. After the coup, they reformed the nation into The Barbossan Thuyuqratia, a true theocracy. They established themselves down in the south east of Eldham, quickly integrating the nation of Santos and now pushing further down south into the lands of the USSE.
