- —Description of the Pirate Free Companies of Sartosa in Total War: Warhammer II.[1]

A Sartosa Free Company pirate as depicted in Total War: Warhammer II.[1]
Sartosa Free Companies are made up of lawless, swashbuckling pirates, who fight within the fleets of Sartosa in return for loot and plunder.[1]
Role[]
The Decadent Pirate Principality of Sartosa, known more politely by its swashbuckling inhabitants as the Free City of Sartosa or simply the "City of Pirates," is an anarchic pirate island-stronghold located on the southern reaches of war-torn Tilea, off the coast of the Tilean city-state of Luccini. A notorious haven for criminals, it harbours all manner of pirates, brigands, and lawless mercenaries -- anyone wanting to avoid the various legitimate powers of the Old World.[1]
It is a tremendously dangerous place, where drunken pirates press-gang unsuspecting individuals, brawls and duels are an hourly occurrence, and thieves ply the dirty, crowded docks looking for easy marks. Despite the risks, however, it is a place where someone with the toughness and willpower to survive can not only live but thrive, far from the yoke of unfair taxes, overbearing noblemen, and stringent laws.[1]
From Sartosa to Araby in the south, the Border Princes to the east, and the mainland past the Great Ocean, exotic lands await. In short, Sartosa is a perfect place for finding fame, plunder and endless adventure.[1]
