Here they are, do you like them?

Sha'n Kai: At it's height, the empire of Saktamaya encompassed the many Indonesian islands. This was no mean feat. The Indonesian people were a fierce and warlike tribe of seafarers. It is said that they rose up in revolution at least once per month. No matter how the Soldiers crushed the revolts, they always sprung up at the next opportunity. When the floods came, it was just what they had been waiting for. They quickly overthrew their masters and flee across the rising floodwaters in their ships. When the waters cleared, Indonesia was only a bunch of tropical islands, surrounded by dangerous crags and rocky coastlines. But the resourceful pirates saw it as the perfect lair. They made fortresses among the rocky crags and went forth to pillage the few people who survived the Titans invasion. One pirate lord quickly rose to the top. His name was Captain Rokai. He defeated his main nemesis in combat and subjugated the other pirate captains. Soon he was crowned Pirate King do a new faction, the Sha'n Kai. Their ships set out to pillage the flooded lands of Indochina. Pillaging the surviving peasants newly built villages. They then set out across the pacific, where they subjugated the Quenwa, a peaceful sea people who made floating villages. They move do to conquer the Ghats, a people living in the islands of flooded India. They made colonies down the coast of Africa and attacked the Roman Colonies of Nubia, Kush, Punt, and Egypt. Captain Rokai and his ships even dare to challenge the might of Rome, sinking ships carrying important dignitaries. The Empire was thriving under Rokai's rule, when the unthinkable happened. Captain Rokai was killed when his ship was rammed by a Roman trireme. All authority went to the dogs, and today the Sha'n Kai are governed by thousands of warring captains. The more ships and land they own the higher on social status. No one is safe from these raids. Several captains look for land on the Hu'al coastline, and are soon encountered by some very ticked off warriors. The Romans remain their greatest enemies, and the amount of Roman ships captured and destroyed on a captains orders are another deciding factor in social status. The most successful captains govern powerful ports where magnificent goods are traded back and forth in gleaming markets, next to majestic docks. But as of yet, no captain has been able to unite these free peoples.
