This large island in the Sarodin Sea is the home of Strebor's Corsairs.
Most of the island is uninhabited and the coast is about equal parts cliffs and sandy beaches. The interior consists mostly of forests with some shrub savannas. Animals used to be incredibly abundant on the island but when the pirates settled here many species, especially the edible ones, were hunted quite successfully, now many species keep to the western part of the isle.
A number of farms have sprung up near Elaine, the soil turned out to be quite good for agriculture. Now the Corsairs are actively recruiting more people to come farm on the island, particularly in Vilda. Fish are a large part of the Threepwood diet and most are caught right from the beaches though there are a few dedicated fishing vessels.
Elaine
The only real city on the island and thus the de facto capital. It was built on a bay that is easily protected from invaders; one of the reasons the Corsairs have been able to survive here.
The city is quite sizeable as over time many supporting services were built here; rope and sail makers, and everything else needed for ships are present these days. Some time ago a dry dock was built and the pirates are producing their own ships now, though master shipbuilders scuff at their quality. There is likely no city with more taverns per capita and the same might go for brothels and other forms of entertainment.
There are no less than three distilleries that all produce a hard liquor called LeChuck. It is made of bananas which grow all over the island, a few enterprising individuals have even started to cultivate them.
It might come as a surprise to some but there is a prison in town and a well functioning town guard. Though the pirates are seen as criminals by outsiders they themselves understand that crimes committed in town are counterproductive. Those few that don't understand this have a rather short career. Tavern fights are, of course, not policed.
