Handra is at least 150 km away from the Nimistor river and to reach there one either has to travel through Bastis (a separate Trader Princedom) or through Ryzel (where man-eating 'newts live). It is not part of Nimistor any more than the Solanthi are.

This is misleading. The Alatan Pirate _Fleet_ sailed west and hid amongst the Mournsea Isles whereupon it was destroyed by the Holy Country. Alatan, the source of the Pirates, was sacked by Pasos and transformed into a number of pirate communities rather than a single nation. These communites are on the Isle of Alatan with its many bays and beaches (they seem to have united again recently into the Kingdom of Smelch). This is not evidence for an existance of vicious Nimistori pirates.
