The Twin Cities · Freeboard and Skysail →
Modern Talanese; aboard, Freeboard and Skysail in the sailors' cant
The two pirate cities of the Midarra: Freeboard, a flotilla of hulls stacked into a mountain on the water, and Skysail, four islets in the air with airships hung beneath them on lines. They moor together when they can and part when they must. Every deck is a ship and everyone aboard has a vote; the Pirate Lords, the legends of the Midarra, outweigh everyone. Folk count them with Askamira, since their usual waters lie around the island; they answer to no one here.
