The former Utrian Isles teem with monstrosities, the undead, and if the stories are to be believed: a sleeping tarrasque. But more important than any of that is the large amount of treasure and land now up for grabs to whoever can club away a few crumbling skeletons. Thus the TCA was born, made up primarily of members of the Utrian Diaspora, and the odd Sea Elf or Triton. The leader of the TCA, the Grand Commodore, has turned the enterprise not only into an extremely profitable exporting and re-colonising business, but some say, the most dangerous pirate fleet on the high seas.
