Good stuff so far!
I'm making another Sea Wolf character, Syggfryd Eyriwilfsyn. Good to know he has some living, breathing brethren somewhere out there!
He's from a village that has recently elected to return to their pirate roots after generations of being peaceful and honorable (a strong minority strongly opposes this new policy, but the elders ordered it). He's training to be a Marauder, for the time being, but that's more because he's been forced into it than anything else. He interprets his name as "peaceful victory," to give you an idea of his actual intentions.
Anyway, is anyone else struggling to find good Sea Wolf/Roegadyn lore?
Here's all I have:

Here's all I have:
- The game says that they used to be violent pirates and raiders, until Limsa Lominsa's armada put them out of business. It then continues that they are often sailors or mercenaries at sea, that they used to live up North on some islands as fishermen (and Roegadyn still exist there), and that's about everything, besides naming conventions.
- One can speculate that they populated all of the area around Vylbrand and Northwestern Aldenard (on the Strait of Merlthor and the Indigo Deep). The Hellsguard have lived in the mountains of Dravinia near Sharlayan, so it would make sense for the Sea Wolves to be nearby.
- BUT - rumors of a Garlean invasion of Sharlayan at some point between Silvertear Lake 20 cycles ago and Carteneau Flats 5 cycles ago mean that any Sea Wolves who lived nearby have likely fled South somewhere else. This is what happened to Sygg's village and is the main reason they had to take to being pirates.
