After long years of fighting back and forth between the pirates and the Imperials, a captain named Drac struck a deal:  He'd stop the piracy, if the island was recognized as a legitimate city-state with him as the ruler.  Good news for everybody.Freeport more or less thrived as a trading port for generations.  Recently, however, a Sea Lord who was getting the city back on it's feet after a rough patch was killed.  The assassin was killed and his body disappeared before anyone could question him.  The Sea Lord who succeeded him is just a little bit loopy, and has thrown all the city's resources into building the biggest lighthouse in the world -- to display Freeport's dominance to the rest of the world -- and it's a project that is bankrupting the city.The grand inauguration of the lighthouse is only a few months away.</blockquote>
