Council Chambers
The hall that the Pirate Council meets in has a long table with 33 chairs. Kerdak Bonefist sits at one end, and the chair at the far end opposite him remains empty: it is reserved for the goddess Besmara, should she deign to sit in on a Council session. (She has not ever done so.)
Food and alcohol are served in quantity during a Pirate Council session. The fine quality of the meal acts as something of a bribe to get the members to show up. Typically, the meeting will begin a half hour before the food is served, and ends half an hour after the meal is finished.
