A good point Havard, and I shall be sure next time when I post a link to also add a description of how to adapt item to Blackmoor specifically or elaborate if there already is a Blackmoorian connection in the thread post.
As for Sharkfolk in the North. We would see two groups of Sharkfolk. The race would be typically viewed as Uncommon in the North but not rare. You'd find a few along the wharves of Jackport, Maus, and Archilis. They generally prefer the open waters of the North Sea to the interior Black Sea. The Black Sea leads to a lot of fights with Skandaharian and Coot forces. The Grayback Clan of Archilis represents larger breeds of Sharkfolk (who note a common ancestor with Great Whites - large-bodied predators who have the mass for cooler oceans). Very heavy meat and fish based diet.
Sharkfolk in the west are known as Brownbacks or Mudfins. These Sharkfolk are smaller build with common ancestry to brackish dwelling Bull sharks. 'Small' is a relative term. They typically stand a foot taller than most Men and are known for a pugnacious attitude that has lead many brawls along the Misauga. It's considered bad form by Tenians to stick a hand towards a Brownback to point or hold up a hand. Brownbacks take it as a challenge and often their first action is to bite the limb off.
Sharkfolk have no nation of their own. They can be found as sellswords and pirates. They lack the population to make-up full pirate crews, but any vessel has a chance to have a Sharkfolk mending nets and casting sails. Tortles dislike Sharkfolk. Tortle elders note in myth and song that in the distant past their great coral cities were overthrown by a distant cousin to Sharkfolk, the Sahuagin. Despite the fact that Sharkfolk do not get along with their cousins and the two groups also fight, Tortles see a lot of similarities between the two folk. Sharkfolk dislike Skandaharians, as the blonde northerners will use Sharkfolk as food and oil and not as prisoners. In turn, Sharkfolk Captains will not take Skandaharians prisoners. They can go ahead and walk in the plank as far as a Sharkfolk Captain is concerned.
The Coot is said to take Sharkfolk prisoner and warp them into Greenfins. Corrupted Sharkfolk who, often covered in sores. Their muscles are increased tenfold, but whatever the Egg uses to pervert them is leaks in an oily pool that smells terrible. That reason aligns Sharkfolk with the enemies of the Egg.
