Last night my FC threw a Halloween party in which several members dressed up and were judged/awarded for different costume categories. Begin Roegadyn, I decided to go as a pirate-esqe NPC vaguely familiar to my mind. After doing some research and a creating a nigh identical costume, I realized two things; A) The NPC from my memory was Sthalmann, Commodore to the Knights of the Barracuda and right hand of Merlwyb's predecessor and B) That neither Sthalmann or the 'Cudas are in the game anymore.

It would seem that the Barracuda's were replaced with the Yellow Jackets, but why? Where did they all go? What happened to Sthalmann? Are we to just assume they all died in the calamity without note?
