The First Great Corsair War erupts in Elonan waters

The pirate crews that raid the Elonan seas band together into armadas and launch the first of only two Great Corsair Wars, opening a struggle for control of the coasts.
In 712 AE (912 DR) the corsairs — the pirate fleets that preyed on Elona's coasts — gathered into armadas and went to war, beginning the first of the Great Corsair Wars. Only two such wars are recorded in all of Elonan history.
The pattern set here would repeat generations later: the Second Great Corsair War broke out in 982 AE and ended with Seamarshal Matoha's victory and the rise of Istan as a maritime power.
