Zabar

Zabar, the notorious port city on the desolate and isolated Feral Oyster Island, has earned a fearsome reputation as a haven for pirates and a scourge of merchant ships in the Talinian Ocean. It is traditionally ruled by the Council of Captains and their chosen Sea King. This unruly city attracts pirates from all corners of the world and is bound only by the "Buccaneers Code".

A traditional foe of Lozar, they have little use for the Concordance except as a source of loot. Seafaring miscreants seek it out for safe harbor and a place to trade their ill-gotten gains without fear of retribution.

The city has relied on isolation and a maze of reefs and wrecks to protect it from invaders. The landscape features a sparse covering of coconut trees and rocky beaches, while feral pigs roam its desolate shores. The surrounding waters are abundant with oysters, notorious for posing a grave threat to those who find themselves washed upon the island's treacherous reefs.

An active volcano, home to a red dragon and kobolds, sits on the other side of the island. The pirates have a non-aggression pact with the dragon where it gets a share of their loot and the dragon doesn't destroy them.

Districts of Zabar

Zabar is divided into four districts connected by stone-paved roads. The architecture displays a mix of adobe, stone, clay-lined fiber, and sun-dried bricks. The wealthier areas are clean and well maintained, but the poorer sections are derelict and polluted.

Under the Talon of Tiamat

The situation in Zabar has changed drastically after the recent escape of the Infernal Forces during the Hell Week Accords. The Talon of Tiamat has converted the port city into their dark stronghold. A force of abishai, devils, and draconians has transformed the pirate haven into a city of fear and malevolence.

The Sea King and the Council initally took in the army of devils hoping to increase their own power and perhaps gain a stake in the Zone. Unfortunately, the followers of Tiamat have no regard for the Buccaneer's Code. The Selzor of the Green Wing has converted the Captain's Council into his personal lackey's that seek his approval and sponsorship. The Sea King now regrets welcoming in the dragons, devils, and abishai.

Zabar's population has swelled to five times its original size as dragonborn refugees and bandit armies rally to Tiamat's banners. The rough charm of the one-time pirate city has been obscured under the draconic oppression of the Talon of Tiamat.
