Political event
Since the peace talks in 659 AoW the pirates and adventurers had been on relatively good terms, although small skirmishes would often happen when adventurers were hired to guard trade ships. This changed with the creation of the Trade Republic of Du'hra.
With renewed force, the trade republic was able to better guard against the pirates and no longer needed adventurers for guards. This left many adventurers without a stable income and many of them became pirates. With a new external enemy the relation between the adventurers' guild of The Wasted Land and the pirates a stronger alliance quickly formed.
