I wanted the Pirates to look as if they had spent their life on the sea and in the sun. I also wanted them to have chiseled, sneaky features. I like the way these turned out. Not all the pirates will be bad, some will offer help and quests but the player will never know who he/she can or can not trust.

The Pirate race is the most advanced race in all Pellucidar. Not only do they posses iron and steel weapons but they have reached the point in their development that they have created single shot black powder weapons, (muskets) They are descended from pirates who found their way into Pellucidar many generations ago and they believe the old stories of an outer world to be myths and fairy tale's to tell children. Their society is based on a "Might is Right " system and the most cunning and cruel among them usually ends up the leader. Their home port in Korsar is a filthy town with vomit filled streets, too many bars, rotting bodies and drunks strewn about and constant disputes that often leads to another corps left to rot. Their primitive culture is the only thing stopping them from becoming the rulers of Pellucidar. The violence among the Pirates keeps their ranks low and confines them to their own territory.

In general, pirates are not to be trusted, sending you on a quest could lead to a great treasure or a trap at the end of a hard journey. You will never know who among them can and can't be trusted.
