Ghend was notorious for centuries as a pirate haven. Pretty much steadily after the Fall of Old Sartor, and then again when Sartor's second empire period ended. It was created a duchy by the Adranis when they went in to clean it up, but later the duchy became the place to exile troublesome aristocrats, who found it too easy to take massive bribes from pirates and look the other way.

The kingdom thus has remnants of its colorful past--inlets with small castles, all of them riddled with secret passages and the like. Extravagant design of buildings, old trade in exotic goods that managed to hang on, persist though Ghend has long been peaceful and law-abiding, its trade tied to Enaeran, which protects it.
