Sartosa
"Here be pirates"
- –
Sartosa is the Sicily of the Old World as Tilea is to Italy, geographically speaking. In-universe, it's actually pirate heaven and is primarily inhabited by Norscans and Tileans, although you can also find Dwarfs and Undead here.
History[edit | edit source]
Officially known as "The Principality of Sartosa," the island has a wild history spanning almost 4000 years. After the High Elves were kicked out from Sartosa during the War of the Beard, Tilean humans settled there. Several centuries later city was taken over by Neferata, but not for long, as she was forced to flee by the combined forces of Settra the Imperishable and Khalida. It was the glorious King of Khemri who completely destroyed the first city of Sartosa and made it a wasteland for a while.
This wasn't the end, however, as norscans soon arrived (just like in real life) and started to raid the shit out of Tilea. In a surprising turn of events, however, the two at first antagonistic nations allied in order to destroy the other threats in form of Dark Elf and Arabyan corsairs. The latter eventually managed to prevail and conquer Sartosa for a while during the Crusades (again, like in real life), but were eventually repelled by the previous owners.
Geography[edit | edit source]
Sartosa has a surprisingly varied landscape. From rugged coasts to its volcano, Sartosa has nearly everything you'd expect for a place inhabited by pirates. Overall, the land is pretty fertile and can support all of the cities and their masters.
- Sartosa: The main settlement of Sartosa. Think of it as the Port Royal/Tortuga/Singapore of Warhammer. The city is ruled over by the Castle of the Pirate King.
- Castle of the Pirate King: a big castle that stood on a mountain above the Sartosa. It is now a residence of the notoriously cruel Pirate Queen.
- Dwarf Hold: weird hold we know nothing about. Probably makes cannons and cutlasses.
