# Pirate Lords of the Salt Reach

## Overview

A loose confederation of pirate captains operating in the waters between [[Kethra]] and the outer islands. They raid Kethran shipping, smuggle contraband, and occasionally accept contracts from anyone willing to pay — including the [[The Hand of Ruin|Hand of Ruin]].

## Plot Relevance

Mentioned as a threat to Kethran trade. Not a primary campaign faction, but the Pirate Lords can complicate naval operations in Arc 4 if not addressed. [[Queen Selara IV]] maintains a secret arrangement with them — mutually beneficial, mutually deniable.
