Overview

The port settlement of Swindler’s Sound is officially opening it’s tavern to all Elyrians that lack a moral compass! Established as a safe haven for all the deviant natured peoples of Elyria, Swindler’s Sound boasts a diverse community of Pirates, Privateers, Murderers, Thieves, Assassins, Mercenaries, Bank Robbers, Slum Lords, and Corrupt Businessmen. No matter how black your soul has become, you can find a home here. We even take in the occasional Lawmaker and Politician!

The freedom of choice to live the way you desire has attracted even the most neutral of Elyrians to our humble settlement. Fisherman, Blacksmiths, Researchers, Carpenters, and Farmers are always welcome to make a life for themselves here.

Goals

• Provide a safe haven for ALL Elyrians. As long as you show respect for us, what you do outside the settlements borders is not our business. (Disclaimer - On Duty Tax Collectors not welcome! We may be criminals but we do have standards! Off Duty Tax Collectors should maintain a believable disguise.)

• Create an environment where all walks of life can succeed. From Pirates to Potato Farmers, we will strive to provide you any and all opportunities for an engaging and entertaining life. (Disclaimer - Tax Collectors will not be supported nor encouraged to find success. Swindler’s Sound and its associates can make no guarantees to the safety and quality of life of individuals that pursue this profession.)

• Research Technological Advances in Oceanography as well as Discover and Master all that the Seas have to offer. (Disclaimer - Swindler’s Sound and its associates have no interest in assisting Tax Collectors in discovering a way to tax Ocean Vessels, Critical Waterways, or Foreign Lands.)

• Provide a safe port for all Pirates and Black Market Merchants to resupply. (Disclaimer - Off Duty Tax Collectors may only utilize port to launder money on religious holidays. Must pay 15% processing fee. Subject to change without notice.)

Leadership

• Swindler’s Sound was established by Captain William Cockerham who will serve as Mayor of the settlement, and Ambassador to foreign seafaring powers. Governance of the settlement will be handled by majority vote for all decisions. ALL registered adult citizens of Swindler’s Sound are eligible and have equal vote.

• The port appointed Dockmaster will be responsible for all matters regarding operation and maintenance of the docks.

• Swindler’s Sound operates by a Pirate’s Code. Violation of this code will result in the pursuance of a death warrant for the perpetrator.

Code of Conduct

1. No stealing from town markets or visiting traders while in town.
2. No Murdering townsfolk. Self defense is allowed.
3. Befriend others wisely. Betrayal is your own risk
4. The Right of Parlay. Anyone who is in trouble with Townsfolk or Crew, can evoke parlay, and be brought to the Captain Mayor (or Dock Master, depending on availability) and discuss their crimes, problems, or requests
5. An act of war on the town can only be declared by the Captain Mayor, who would parley with shared adversaries.
6. Trading for products fair and square means the seller can do as they like, including resell at profit.
7. All citizens must respect their fellows on the account.
8. Killing a surrendered enemy is not allowed
9. No outside warrants will be honored within town limits. Bounty Hunters operate at their own risk.
10. No fighting or assassinations in the gambling hall. Take your disagreements outside of settlement borders.
