Prior to the Sky Wars, Windrise was mostly pristine jungle with mostly tribal elves as inhabitants. Because of this, it fell easily, and became one of the largest of the Storm Lord's western outposts.
After the Sky Wars, things didn't fall apart in Windrise like they did everywhere else, mostly because the stockpiled supplies and weapons left over from the war helped them to recover quickly.
Windrise has gone straight from tribalism to contemporary civilisation, so it's still ruled by might rather than by law. Part of that might projects itself out in the way of piracy, but so far, it's not bad enough (or no one's organised enough) to handle the situation.
