Hesgarigani

The term Hesgarigani denotes shipborne pirates, raiders, invaders and eventually settlers from what is modern day Masalne, operating between the 1st and 5th centuries DN, who operated mostly on the coastal regions of Osonde, but in many cases also reached far inland via rivers.

The Hesgarigani were mostly Mirselani by ethnicity and in origin, though their ranks would eventually swell to include peoples from over ancient Kavena, Birasleti and Ruguzma such that the term would become merely a catch-all description for any pirate and raider by the 3rd century. Their travels, as well as the devastation caused by the DN Event, precipitated an age often known in Kavena as the "Pirate Kingdom Age", while for the Risevani the Hesgarigani have attained a status equivalent to that of epic and legendary heroes.
