Pirates
Sea Pirates - The Scourge of the seas, Pirates sail the waters between the different continents of Eifel, raiding merchant vessels and taking whatever pleases them. Most become Pirates because they love the sea but hate the restrictions of honest sailing careers and the laws and rules that they have to abide by. Because it's such a solitary life there are very few people who are actually born into the Pirating trade, the youngest pirates being orphans as young as 7 years old who get hired on as cabin urchins because they have no where else to go. Many of the more famous Pirate Captains have a rather flamboyant heir about them and have titles intended to strike fear into the minds of those whom they are attacking.
Sky Pirates - With the advent of Airships, some miscreants and rebels have taken to the air, forming groups known as Sky Pirates. They are just as dangerous as their sea faring cousins, and far more reckless, since their acts of Piracy are performed hundreds of feet in the air. For the time being, Sky Pirates rule the skies, because there are very few air-born Bounty Hunting groups in the world thus far. One of the major differences between Sea Pirates and Sky Pirates is that Sky Pirates are almost exclusively ranged weapons experts. Guns, Crossbows, and Longbows are their forte and often if they have any melee weapons on them it will usually be a dagger or a short curved sword.
