Flotillas & blockades

Azarbad the Great's flotilla is non-sinking and it can be recognized from an icon depicting the Heart of Fire.

If his flotilla is not defeated in time, Azarbad can declare a blockade on a nearby island. Like for any other Brigand King, said blockades are always sinking.

Fleet

Although in his flotillas Azarbad mostly gathers Arab ships such as dhows, baghlahs and xebecs, it is not unusual for him to deploy war brigs and war frigates as well.

The naming scheme of his ships follows the one of his swabbies.

On June 17, 2008 Bia announced that she had received a missive from Azarbad, in which the Brigand King stated that he was willing to provide guidance to pirates in order to beat off Brynhild Skullsplitter and prevent her from colonizing new islands.
