Parrot Wharf

The pirate capital of the world, Parrot Wharf was founded first as a rest point for weary travelers but eventually mostly dealt with pirates, until different pirate organizations began using the site as a headquarters. Located on the south most island of the Dark Continent, Parrot Wharf is too far from the mainland to be any government jurisdiction and it a lawless, dangerous town with a sprawling black market.

History
No one is really sure when the Parrot Wharf was first founded offically. But it started when a group of humans from Nassanet sailed out with the intent to explore the Dark Continent. They landed on the south most island and set up a small camp. That night, a storm rolled through and smashed their vessel on the rocky shore, leaving the explorers stranded with only a few lifeboats.

Years later, reports began to come in that pirates were attacking ships near southern Dark Continent. In reality, the stranded party, desperate, was trying to acquire a ship, by any means necessary. One of these attempts lead to a fight, in which the humans were all killed.

When knowledge of this final encounter reached the mainland, it began to twist into rumor. Many were convinced that the humans had left some sort of great treasure behind, and it wasn't long before people began to look for that treasure. In fact, the rumor picked up so much steam that merchants began to travel to the remote island to sale their wares to the hundreds of treasure hunters that had made a journey to the island. Sometime after a community began to build up on the island, creating permanent structures for the weary travelers that make it to the island. Pirates used this community as a haven when trying to escape the law or as a rest point before making the trip back to the mainland. Pirate Wharf was born from this community.
