Pictured is a  harbor. Underneath the doe labels it as : Plunder Harbor, Tiragarde Sound




I took three of my team on a business trip to Kul Tiras negotiate trade with a group of so-called pirates. They call themselves the Fogsail Freebooters. We brought samples of our main trade - furs and leathers, as well as spices. My hope was that we’d do an exchange of goods, ours for their fish, nets and metal work.

Plunder Harbor is a busy place, full of traders, artisans and folk who take up with the pirate way of life. We ate of rich foods and had good beer here, and made many new friends.

I ended up though, somehow offending a brothel keeper, who sent her man  after mine, mistaking my goblins as the offending party. I wasn’t going to just let some brute beat up my team, so I stepped in, trying really hard to defuse tensions with words. I got a fist to my nose for my efforts and kicked in the belly. Thankfully he didn’t think about the fact a tauren can kick. I think I broke his foot, but he stopped. My team weren’t hurt thankfully, but I have a very sore nose.

After that - we were waiting for our contact in the harbor, we waited in a different location, near a stable master that was watching my hyenas. Eventually he met up with us, a man named Gentry. We were able to work out an agreement - three loads of leathers, furs and skulls for some of their blacksmiths work, some quality nets for fishing and salted fish by the barrel. A good bit of work, but I can start hunting as soon as we’re back on Zuldazar. We’ve slated shipment in a few a few weeks, at most two months.

What’s even better is one of the team I brought - a lady named Delbi - signed on with the Fogsail Freebooters. She said, “I need to see more than just some wagons Miss, if that’s right by you” - of course I said it was okay. This in turn led several pirates - of all walks of life - to inquire if we were hiring.  Which ended up being a question of  what were we called, so that word could be shared about our business. Well we don’t have a name. Someone suggested I use my surname, Dusthoof, though I am loathe to use it. It’s my brothers name, I took it because that’s how I was raised, and I know no other name. I was thinking of maybe Cloudsong. I’ll mention it to Ginja, she’s always talking about cloudy days, and my team is always singing.. so maybe Cloudsong Trading would be nice.
