Risen 2 - Pirates @ Official Site

The official Risen 2 site has a profile on Pirates:

The pirates of Arborea’s Southern Seas are bold and daring buccaneers. But the return of the Titans is threatening to bring maritime trade to a standstill, which would also put sailors’ livelihood at risk. That’s why the sailors are either joining up with one of the last five pirate captains and hoping to win themselves fame and glory on the raids against the Inquisition, or they’re turning their backs on the sea once and for all and trying to make a living on land. You’ll find these scoundrels and cutthroats everywhere on the Southern Seas, particularly in Antigua, the pirates’ main supply harbour. Rumour is that they’ve already built up another stronghold in Tacarigua, and that the rum there is the best you’ll find anywhere in the Southern Seas.
