The West Horizon Fleet is a Pelesetian city-fleet, unusual amongst other city-fleets for a number of reasons. Although most Pelesetian fleets keep to a relatively small territory, the West Horizon Fleet wanders in unpredictable routes across the entirety of the Sea of Khoros and the Alkyonides Gulf. Quite small by Pelesetian standards, the fleet contains only eight vessels. The captain of the Let the Sky be Unfettered, Karuman Ika, functionally leads the entire West Horizon Fleet - though the fleet council exists, almost all decisions ultimately fall to Ika.
The West Horizon Fleet has frequent contact with Rothurlandic seafarers. Despite the normal Pelesetian hostility to pirates, Ika has attracted some notoriety within the Union for his willingness to look the other way at the relatively few vikings who continue to raid the coasts south of Rothurland. Though he reasons they are harmless as they only strike those on land, many within the Union strongly disagree.
