{{Quotation|nightfall|On land, [[Elona]]’s laws are defined and enforced by its three provincial governments. Life at sea is different. On every ship, a captain’s word is law, and many sailors follow their own personal codes of honor. [[Corsair]]s live outside the law, whether they’re standing on solid ground or the treacherous deck of a fast ship. As a matter of survival, each one recognizes the Code of the Corsairs, although many disagree on its particulars.

The most important concepts in the Code are loyalty to one’s captain (and the conditions under which you can justifiably mutiny), fair methods of distributing wealth (and the best times and places to steal it), and honorable ways of resolving differences (as well as the best ways to cheat in a duel). Land dwellers are often baffled by the inherent contradictions of this code. No matter how a sailor defines a personal code of honor, corsairs unite against their common enemies, setting aside all differences. The Code
has kept the corsairs around for generations, passing on traditions, superstitions, and contradictions from one generation to the next.

The corsairs have remained free by learning to survive in treacherous waters, sailing where the [[Istan]]i will not or cannot follow. Their fleets remain hidden near the most dangerous stretches of the Elonian coast. Between the northwest coast of [[Cantha]] and the southern rim of Elona, a deadly sea is troubled by sudden storms and cyclones, hidden reefs, and dangerous sea creatures. These waters were once navigated by fearless [[Luxon]] raiders from Cantha, and to this day, brigands from many cultures search for secret coves hidden by these deadly waters.

* Except for [[Margrid the Sly]] and her sister [[Shahai the Cunning]], all corsairs in the game (both generic and named) are male. Though [[Corsair (disguise)|a model]] for generic female corsairs does exist in the game.

== Trivia ==
{{gw2w}}
* [[w:Corsair|Corsair]] is another term for privateer or pirate. In Guild Wars, corsairs appear to be patterned after [[w:Barbary pirate|Barbary pirate]]s of North Africa.

*This is one of two landmarks (other one being [[the Spider's Heart]]) that hints at a dead spider deity [[Arachnia]] and is one of many landmarks (others being the Spider's Heart, [[Harvestman's Lair]], and [[Vale of Shadows]]) that hint to insectoid gods.
