The islands of Nicoboa, also known as the Pirate Isles, is the homeland of the halflings. It is located on an archipelago in the Noran Sea southwest of Nora. The islands are not a member of the allied kingdoms, but are a member of the Council of Six Swords. The land has no capital and is run as a semi-anarchy with a small non-locational central authority in the form of the Dujo or Pirate King. The largest city is Coboguara located on Conucola.
The current dujo is Queen Blackleaf.
This archipelago represents the exposed peaks of a great undersea mountain range known as the Pirate Isle seamount chain, formed by volcanic activity over a hotspot in the world's mantle.
