The Moonshadow Pirates

The Moonshadow Pirates are smugglers and drug dealers based in the South coast of Elsweyr, particularly in the coastal city of Senchal.

History
The Moonshadow pirates originated as a simple trading company in 3E 145, started by a worshiper of Azura. At some point between the third and fourth century, the company started smuggling weapons and people in and out of Elsweyr, via the port. This was especially important when an unknown thief (presumably with multiple accomplices) smuggled much of the cities historical treasure out in the year 3E 362.

When the Skooma trade increased, they realised the benefits of it and expanded into drugs, producing, transporting and selling skooma and other drugs.

It is well known that they often supply weapons to revolutionaries, recently the Thua Bronzi.

Purpose
The purpose of the pirates is, primarily, to make money. However, it has been rumoured that they have links to the Thua Bronzi.

Trivia

 * The name Moonshadow was found while trying to find names for the Thua Bronzi, when, on the Elsweyr page on the Elder Scrolls wiki, it mentioned that Azura was the Lord of Moonshadow.
 * I originally considered calling them the, "Senchal Pirates."
