Ribcage serves as the center of Pirate life, as they have an entire city hidden in the largest cave on one of the islands.

This cave is named Cutthroat Cove and is masked by an illusion of a continuous rock face. It houses a set of docks capable of servicing an entire armada of ships.

Despite the fact that pirates spend a great deal of time fighting amongst themselves, the governor of the city has setup strictly-enforced rules, preventing fights between crews from breaking out. The city is filled with hidden scrying devices that the city watch use to keep an eye on everything.

Those that break the rules end up dead very quickly, as the city watch is composed of very loyal assassin-wizards chosen by the governor.

1. No fighting in the streets.
2. No magic in the streets.
3. Cutthroat Cove is neutral territory. No feuding between crews.

The governor himself is a Lich of quite great power, often referred to as the Black Captain. He has a fleet of Pirate warships at his disposal, known as the Black Corsairs, crewed mostly by undead. Some few living Pirates work for him, mostly in leadership positions.

There are a number of services available, both legal and otherwise. Produce sellers can be found offering their wares right next to drug dealers operating in the open. Prostitution is quite common. The biggest source of income for the city is slavery of all kinds.

The taverns are all of the rough sort, where brawls are common.

Thievery is not illegal and is practiced quite openly. There is a member guild of the Shadowed Eyes here, known as the Cutthroat Cavaliers. They're among the worst of those in the Eyes, as they're just as likely to kill someone as pick their pocket.
