Jahaka Anchorage was a 15th century port settlement located in a secluded sea cave in the Jahaka Bay along the western shore of Chult.[2] It served as the secret anchorage for a group of pirates that raided ships in the waters surrounding Chult.[3]
Description[]
Beyond the pier, the anchorage house some living quarters, a makeshift prison, storage areas with a well-protected trove and a tavern called Bosco's Bilge.[1]
Activities[]
The pirates used Jahaka Anchorage to store their plunder and hold their captive slaves.[1] Their respective captains formed a tenuous alliance with Commander Liara Portyr of Fort Beluarian, granting a portion of their wealth along with safe passage for Baldurian ships in exchange for a blind eye to their operations.[3]
Government[]
The settlement was led by the captain of whichever ship was docked in the port. Fittingly, only one ship dropped anchor at any given time.
Defenses[]
Any ship nearing the anchorage had to navigate through heavy mist and a perilous circle of underwater rocks. Beyond that, the anchorage was protected by a ballista mounted upon the lookout tower constructed atop Bosco's Bilge.[1]
The anchorage's treasure trove was protected by ten flying swords.[1]
Inhabitants[]
The settlement was the safehouse for and temporary residence of a numbers of pirates, including those that served as crewmen aboard the Dragonfang, the Stirge and the Emerald Eye.[4]
A number of reef sharks inhabited the waters surrounding the sea cave.[1]
