(Population: 94,000) Tar Vielca is a large independent city-state located on Narrow Isle, west of the continent of Azoria; infamous for its long history of sea raiding and conquest, and as the home of the notorious Corsairs.


Long ago, the city was an important colony of the Eloysian Empire, but after the fall of that empire, its culture became a hybrid of both Vilzari and Eloysian cultures and traditions.

Tar Vielcans have always been a fierce and aggressive people. What they couldn’t build or create, they simply took from others.

The City-State has long been associated with piracy, where it is not a crime but rather an honor to steal and pillage from others.

Tar Vielcan pirates, commonly called "Corsairs," are legendary for their seamanship and their cruelty. Those not murdered during Corsair attacks are carried off as slaves.

Corsair vessels from Tar Vielca are distinguishable by their black-painted hulls and black sails, emblazoned with the city's coat of arms: a large green sea-monster upon a sable field.

It is said that Shah Khofhar Sateri; the current ruler of Tar Vielca, has a force of over 250 Corsair vessels at his disposal, and an army of nearly 50,000 men under his command.
