Pirates commit acts of robbery or criminal violence at sea, on a shore or in other major bodies of water, such as the river pirates on River Rhoyne.

Pirates still make their dens upon the Stepstones and venture forth to prey on honest men. When Quentyn Martell was sailing incognito on the Meadowlark pirates came aboard the when the boat was anchored off the coast of the Disputed Lands; the crew beat them off at the cost of twelve lives.[1]}

There are also pirates on Dagger Lake it is full of islands where pirates lurk in hidden caves and secret strongholds. Urho the Unwashed is the worst of them; his stench is enough to kill a man. The Lady Korra on Hag’s Teeth is called Korra the Cruel. Her ship is supposedly crewed by beautiful young maids who geld every man they capture.[2].

They are thickest on the stretch of river between Ar Noy and the Sorrows, the Qohorik rule the river, and below the Sorrows the galleys of Volantis hold sway, but neither city claims the waters in between, so the pirates have made it their own. Pirates will not sail into the Sorrows.
