The Bloodsails are a principality on the island of Farlnen in Lhazaar. The population is mostly elves, with some humans, half-elves, and changelings as well. The leader of the Bloodsails is Prince Shaen Tasil, who has kept the principality stable for over a century. She does not want the title of high prince but she follows the politics of Lhazaar closely.
The elves of the Bloodsails have extensive knowledge of magic, archery, and woodworking, and Bloodsail ships are some of the finest in the Lhazaar fleets. In addition, many members of the Bloodsails have magical powers, particularly in necromancy or faith-based magic. Farlnen is a center for the worship of the Blood of Vol and all the Bloodsails are of that faith.
History[edit | edit source]
The Bloodsails were founded by exiles from the war between House Vol and the Undying Court. After the Undying Court eradicated the House of Vol, they let the allies of the Vol line surrender. Those allies left Aerenal and found a home on the island of Farlnen. Most the elves stayed in isolated communities within Farlnen, others set up the Bloodsail principality.
During the Last War, the Bloodsails were employed by Karrnath as privateers. After the expulsion of the Emerald Claw, the Bloodsails turned to piracy against Karrnath.
