Pirate Hideouts
 
   These safe wharfs to the buccaneers of Alyria are far spread in the world, and under it.  Each hideout houses a pirate faction.  Little is known about these hideout now, but we have word on these six:
Daggerwind Reef - Located at 2091, 1388 (Alyria), southeast of Atlantis.
Three-Bearded Jake's - Located at 907, 823 (Underground), West of Seahag Isle.
Pelican's Demise - Located at 1579, 938 (Alyria), Southwest of Tellerium.
Smuggler's Cave - Located at 1599, 838 (Underground), East-southeast of the Whirlpool.
The Angry Whale - Located at 1233, 1369 (Alyria), southwest of Maldra's Keep.
Frigate's End - Located at 264, 592 (Alyria), southwest of Xaventry.

The Pirate Flotillas (Pirates sailing in the waters near hideouts)

    Pirate Flotillas (creatively named by the Wharf) are just the groups of Pirate ships near any hideout.  Each Flotilla often has one Super Dreadnought sailing with several Dreadnoughts and Galleons, then with Dromonds, Corsairs, and Drakkars farther out.  The larger ships are often closer to the hideouts.
