Battle of Pirate's Current

The Battle of Pirate's Current was the largest naval battle of the Sussurrian War, often considered to be the War's turning point. It was fought between the newly-declared Sartosan Republic and the mainland Tilean Principality of Monte Castello. The Battle was the first naval engagement of the Sartosan Republic, and was vital in securing the Pirate Lords' faith in the Republic. In the months prior to the Battle, the Castellan Invasion of Sartosa had rallied the Lords together and resulted in the Declaration of Sartosa and gathering of the Great Fleet of the Free South.
