Let's just make this clear, Fletcher is not talking about pirating at those lanes, he's on about positioning a pirate fleet, with gunboats et al.
Pirating at those lanes should be discreet, couple of werewolves and a barghest will see you through any piracy event and has the skill to turn around and leg it quick if the lawfuls turn up. Which is what a pirate should do. I have seen those two lanes from both sides of the fence and for the most part it really is a place to stay until the lawfuls show up so you can force a PvP. There's not much RP that goes on in those two lanes.
Sometimes the LR will be paid to run a distraction operation in which case it's all hands to pumps and off to those lanes, but we'll talk it up, pretending we're up to no good in a different manner. It's a distraction after all.
Saint Del is considered a holy healer of diseases of children, but also as a protector of cattle.
