Deanna 'Devil's Charm' Hastings Conquers the Waters Around The Wasted Lands

Military: War

After the privateers stopped working for the Holy Order of Druids they peacefully transported goods to the island for only a few years before some of them got the idea to simply steal from those who had replaced their siege weapons with cargo space. This finally ended in 523 AoW with a few decisive battles.

While under the employment of the druids, the privateers had refrained from taking lives since no transport going to The Wasted Lands meant pay. Now that was no longer the case and the elimination of a rival meant less competition, so the battles quickly turned deadly often with the goal of sinking the other's ship.   In the end, it became so dangerous to ship anything to The Wasted Lands that merchants no longer travelled for goods. This did not stop the pirates from attacking each other in the name of "peacekeeping" in order to make the waters safe enough that merchants would once again come.   In the end, a pirate crew led by a young girl, Deanna 'Devil's Charm' Hastings, subjugated the others in a series of attacks. While she did not sink their ships she did force the crews to serve under her by use of magic. Eventually, she subjugated all the pirates and created a shipping fleet, restoring peace to the area although her fleet only allowed her ships to sail to The Wasted Lands.
