History

Origin and overview

The Pirate of Tarakus (a city at the west-southern coast edge of Ptartha, a southern land of Lemuria circa 500,000 BC) were seemingly a federation or brotherhood of pirates, led by the Pirate King.

Thongor of Valkarth

The last survivor of the Black Hawk Tribe of the northern land Valkarth, the barbarian warrior Thongor was captured in the cities of the south for being an assassin and a thief, and was made a galley slave on the ships of Shembis. He led a slaves' mutiny and captured the galley, and eventually claimed power and treasure among the pirates of Tarakus.

The Pirate King was eventually killed by Thongor during a duel. The King's hordes tried to slay Thongor for his deed, causing him to abandon piracy and leave.
