The Sea’s Most Wanted

The Fox in the Rat
Dagger Tooth Outpost
— Poster hanging a at he bar of the tavern 🗺

Have a drink in the tavern at Dagger Tooth and you’re sure to learn of this deadly pirate.

Fizzy Foxy was one of the deadliest pirates in the earliest days of the Sea of Thieves. They sent many souls to the Ferryman without mercy until this poster was hastily drawn up to warn everyone.

Missing, Presumed Pirating
Lone Cove
— Missing poster hanging on a wooden beam at the southwest entrance of the graveyard 🗺

Near the central rock of Lone Cove, a poster remains for a missing pirate.

Captain Jaq was a very popular pirate, a lady with the gift of charisma and a penchant for friendly discourse. According to notes of concern collected by Umbra, Jaq took a small hiatus from the seas and her friends missed her terribly.

Self-Promoting Pistol Pirate
Dagger Tooth Outpost
— Poster hanging on the water tower 🗺

Dagger Tooth is known for deadly criminals, as a poster on the water tower suggests.

~Wanted — Musicmee — for saying ‘pew! pew!’ every time they shot their pistol.~
This poster doesn’t appear to be official — it looks like the pirate drew it up themselves. Maybe they made several, to confuse any bounty hunters?

Join the Club
Mermaid’s Hideaway
— Poster on the camp at the top of the southern part of the island 🗺

On Mermaid’s Hideaway, a popular pirate created a social spot overlooking the sea.

~Join Zoream’s Infamous Pirate Club~
Sounds like quite the club. Maybe they’re still accepting new members?

Nice to be Wanted
Wanderer’s Refuge
— Wanted poster on the ruins in the centre of the island 🗺

A popular pirate took refuge on an island in the Shores of Plenty, up on a cliff side.

~Wanted - DuMy2008 - For… Positive Contributions~
As Umbra suspected, this pirate was clearly beloved in his community. Maybe this really is a Sea of Friends…

The Daredevils

Sleeping with the Fishes
Mermaid’s Hideaway
— Skeleton lying on the sand of the shores 🗺

They say a pirate met his fate on the shores of Mermaid’s Hideaway.

This pirate scratched their name - ArchAngel Aeon - into the rock. Judging by the fish bones, they swam a very long way to reach this shore.

Aim High
Plunder Outpost
— Skeleton on top of the peak 🗺

The remains of a ballistic buccaneer were left where they landed, high up on Plunder Outpost.

Once Deadsniper discovered that they could fire themselves out of a cannon, they couldn’t stop! After firing themselves from a cannon more times than anyone else, they finally landed here… a little crispy.

…And Not a Drop Spilled
Ancient Spire Outpost
— Plaque on the tavern door 🗺

This pirate with panache was always first through the tavern door, thanks to her stunning aim.

A plaque reading ‘LindsayElyse Mind Your Head’ was fixed here. She didn’t like taking the stairs and found a cannon more her style! The Tavern keeper decided to put this reminder up, in case LindsayElyse had already started drinking before climbing into the cannon.

Not All Falcons Fly
Shipwreck Bay
— Skeleton feet hanging out of the ground at the back of the shipwreck 🗺

On Shipwreck Bay, they say a pirate’s bones can be found beside a legendary shipwreck.

This rare thief leapt from the crow’s nest perhaps one time too many. According to Umbra’s notes, these are the remains of IOnEI-Falcon, who would famously leap from the crow’s nest to take a shortcut to the Ferry. In those days, before people knew how healthy bananas were, he realised it was a roundabout way to feel ship-shape again.

Run Aground
Salty Sands
— Painting of a Galleon harpooning a Megalodon 🗺

On Salty Sands, a moment when shark triumphed over pirate was captured in art.

This art depict the incredible moment when the bold Captain Ash Bacon and her crew harpooned their ship to a Megalodon. The chase was fast, epic and impressive — until the shark ditched Ash Bacon by running her Galleon aground and fleeing the scene!

The Loveable Rogues

Not Just For Sweeping
Sanctuary Outpost
— Tavern sign 🗺

There must be a story behind this unusual tavern sign on Sanctuary Outpost.

Umbra heard rumours of a pirate called Clumsy George, who fought off a kraken with only a broom! At least, that’s the story he told everyone. He told it so often, they named the tavern after him!

Bound by a Book
Smuggler’s Bay
— Book with candle around it in the cave 🗺

On Smuggler’s Bay, in a dark cave, a talented pair left one of their legendary creations.

Xbox Addict may be an unusual pirate name, but this truly legendary swashbuckler reached a level of admiration and honour that few dream of. With help from Geordie Tommy, the two crafted this beautiful book to show off their talents. They say it once contained an incredible surprise.

Snake Charmer
Snake Island
— Snake basket

That snake basket belongs to a true lover of serpentkind 🗺

This basket belongs to Tartansnake, a pirate who continues to help many others — when he isn’t too busy talking about snakes. Often, he just does both at the same time.

Dog Days
Mermaid’s Hideaway
— Signpost with a concertina and a dog painted on it near the pond 🗺

There is a hidden camp on Mermaid’s Hideaway, make by a popular pirate.

~Taydoge Swift~
This pirate was famous for much jokes and witty asides. Wow.

Pirate Port Pals
Golden Sands Outpost
— Tankards on a table in front of the tavern 🗺

Two talkative pirates left their tankards on an Outpost made of golden sand, a perfect spot to chat.

These tankards bear the names ‘Abstractacas’ and ‘Paladin Topaz’, friends who loved to share a drink and a chat. They became famed for announcing news and rumours about the Sea of Thieves for all pirates to hear.

The Insatiable

Death by Banana
Marauder’s Arch
— Skeleton eating a banana at the northeastern part of the island 🗺

This pirate lost their way on the beach of Marauder’s Arch, and tried to survive on just bananas…

The pirate Griffin was famed for his love of whole bananas, skin and all, which really caught on among pirates… Unfortunately, he cronched his last on this very spot.

ZZ Marks the Spot
Plunder Outpost
— Plaque at the bar of the Tavern 🗺

The cosy drinking spot of a pirate with an insatiable thirst became a permanent tavern fixture.

~ZZ DE TOX ZZ DRINKING SPOT~
This pirate drank so much that the Sea of Thieves almost became a desert!

Going Bananas
Sanctuary Outpost
— Banana barrel near the water tower 🗺

World tells of an unusual barrel on Sanctuary Outpost, near the water tower.

Freakydusty’s personal banana barrel, always packed with yellow ambrosia. They became famous for holding their bananas like gold.

Famously Frugal
Lost Gold Fort
— Poster of a list of names hanging on a wooden beam in the fort 🗺

In Lost Gold Fort in The Ancient Isles, a list honours the greediest of pirates…

This list of noteworthy Gold Hoarders was made in the early days to ‘honour’ the greediest pirates around. Umbra has been seeking it for some time.

A Hairy Legacy
Lagoon of Whispers
— The Legacy Beard is purchasable at any Clothing Shop.

Show Umbra the Legacy Beard by speaking to her while wearing it.

With a beard this thick and juicy, a pirate is sure to leave a legacy of pure Armageddon.
That beard reminds me of the legend of Beardageddon! It’s most certainly modelled after his mighty chin. The stories say that he fought the Hungering One alone, in only his underwear! Sounds like madness. Better yet, some accounts suggest that he had a chicken on board which survived to tell the tale…

The Swashbucklers

Wide of the Mark
Smuggler’s Bay
— Target with a wooden wall behind 🗺

A pirate with dubious aim left an unmarked target atop Smuggler’s Bay.

o COMM4NDO o is carved into this bullet-ridden wall. Not so many bullets hit the target underneath, though. Practise makes a perfect pirate!

Precision Pirating
Galleon’s Grave Outpost
— Target hanging in front of the weaponsmith’s shop 🗺

The weaponsmith’s shop on Galleon’s Grave boasts a famous patron.

A pirate named Cacci left their mark below this perfect bullseye. Some say they could hit a skeleton right in the eye socket, from the next island over!

Legendary Larceny
Smuggler’s Bay
— Painting of a hook and a chest on a rock in the western part of the cove 🗺

On Smuggler’s Bay lived a pirate famed for his stolen hoard. He left a mark on the Southwest Beach.

The greedy pirate De4th Fire left their mark here. The hook and chest is fitting, as Umbra notes that this pirate stole a staggering number of chests when the Sea of Thieves was still young. In fact, you should go and sell any you’re carrying right now. Just to be safe.

Buckets of Fun
Sanctuary Outpost
— Bucket on a wooden beam of the shipwright’s shop 🗺

Sanctuary Outpost honours a tireless worker, according to Umbra’s rumours.

Carson Iz Pro was engraved on this bucked by their grateful crew, after bailing enough water to fill two ships!

A Venomous Attack
Shark Fin Camp
— Snake painting on the fortification entrance of the island 🗺

They say that Shark Fin Camp was once defeated by very unusual means.

Pirate KaidaWrath and their crew became famous for defeating a Skeleton Fort… using not guns, but 100 baskets of angry snakes! That battle must have been a sight to behold. It just goes to show that being a pirate is about more than your weapons.

The Artistic Souls

A Musical Family
Ancient Spire Outpost
— Violin in the Equipment Shop 🗺

A perfectly crafted and tuned violin was tucked away in Tim’s Equipment Shoppe.

A Violin belonging to Freya Catherine, a pirate with a musical gift who taught her children to play Becalmed. Umbra’s notes say that so many pirates cried, that they had start bailing all the tears!

Still Life
Sanctuary Outpost
— Painting of a Kraken inside the tavern 🗺

Sanctuary Outpost is a beautiful place. Rumour has it the tavern hosts some legendary art.

Signed simply ‘Capain B.’, this stunning artwork was created by a pirate with a true eye for beauty. Don’t be surprised if they ask you to pose for a portrait!

Dressed to Impress
Ancient Spire Outpost
— Painting on the wall of the tavern of four pirates 🗺

In the tavern at Ancient Spire Outpost, there is a painting of four very fancy pirates.

This painting captured four of the fanciest pirates ever to sail the Sea of Thieves. They loved dressing up at gatherings of likeminded sailors.

Through The Eyes of a Child
Smuggler’s Bay
— Drawing on the bench of the camp near the cave entrance 🗺

A young cartographer was known to hone their skills at a camp on Smuggler’s Bay.

This crumpled doodle was drawn by a pirate’s five-year-old son, mapping his favourite island. No doubt he will grow up to be a fine cartographer.

Pirates in Portrait
Sailor’s Bounty
— Fishing camp in the southwestern part of the main island 🗺

On Sailor’s Bounty, a set of portraits by a talented pirate await delivery.

LatchedGlue is famous for her stunning portraits, ideal for decorating a captain’s cabin. She knows how to capture someone’s swashbuckling side! The portraits here are labelled to be delivered to HealpleaseHeal, T.Skunk and Evulmonkey.

The Piratical Jokers

Merrick Roll
The Reaper’s Hideout
— Book under the tent at the camp on the northwestern isle 🗺

Rumours speak of an odd book left at The Reaper’s Hideout… could be a dangerous campsite to visit.

Merrick has left behind a journal… Before I retire, I wanted to write one last shanty, inspired by some words I heard being bellowed from me speaking trumpets. This one definitely won’t summon any man-eating sea monsters. In fact, I promise to never cause so much trouble again: We’re no strangers, to this cove… You know the pirate code and so do I! A pile of treasure’s what I’m thinking of… You wouldn’t get this from any other pi…rate! Never gonna brig you up, Never gonna let you down, Never gonna sail around, And maroon you! Never gonna steal your eye, Never gonna not say ‘aye’! Never gonna sell your booty, For a doubloon! …it’s a work in progress. I think I’ll let me fellow pirates fill in the gaps. My son Derrick seems to think it’s hilarious. He suggested the title ‘Merrick Rolled’. I don’t get it.

Killer Qualifications
Golden Sands Outpost
— Note on the fireplace of the tavern 🗺

On Golden Sands, filling your crew is easy when the pirates advertise in the tavern.

~Dread Pirate Doug~
This pirate had the bright idea of writing out all their skills and pirating history, to ensure they found gainful employment with future crews. It’s a good job that the law doesn’t come to the Sea of Thieves…

Dances with Chickens
Chicken Isle
— Rock painting 🗺

Rumour has it that a strange scene was painted on a large rock on Chicken Isle.

There’s a very old pirate out there with cat-like reflexes, known as SayHeyRocco. When you hear ‘Meow Meow, Kiss Kiss’, you know they were coming! When that pirate got hold of several chickens and the coloured lights of the Ferry, things got even stranger!

Familial Resemblance
Shark Bait Cove
— Portrait near the southwest camp 🗺

They say that where Merrick once camped on Shark Bait Cove, his son now displays a portrait.

Met me son Derrick for the first time! Well, he says he’s me son. Hw can I deny it wiv a handsome mug like that?

Purple Pretty
Lagoon of Whispers
— The Amethyst Angel Hair Dye is purchasable at any Clothing Shop.

Show Umbra the Amethyst Angel Hair Dye by speaking to her while wearing it.

The striking dye used by a pirate called Netty, known for her kindness, openness and… purpleness.
That radiant purple! That’s the same colour used by Nerdy Netty, one of the loveliest pirates ever known. It’s really quite something. No wonder she became famous — she’s very kind… and very hard to miss…

The Pirate Scribes

One Cross Pirate
Sanctuary Outpost
— Mail sack full of letters 🗺

Rumour says that there’s a lot of undelivered mail left in some rubble on Sanctuary Outpost.

Capta1n Cr0ss and his fellow pirate pioneers never received these important letters. Clearly, the Sea of Thieves is in dire need of a postal service.

Point of Contention
Golden Sands Outpost
— Skeleton with a note near the water tower 🗺

Over at Golden Sands, Umbra heard of a pirate who loved to write down their thoughts.

According to Umbra’s notes, Daimyo DoriMa loved nothing more than to list all the things that could be improved around the Sea of Thieves. Maybe a salty pirate took exception to their critique?!

Helping Hands
Cannon Cove
— Names scratched into a rock near the cove 🗺

Five names are scratched into a rock on Cannon Cove, found by walking inland from the dock.

~KattTruewalker, KnightXIII, IOnEI-Falcon, Funic, TheAaronLeigh~
Umbra believes the five names scrathced here were among the first pirates to come to the Sea of Thieves — after the Pirate Lord’s crew, of course.

See No Evil, Hear No Evil, Speak No Evil
Sanctuary Outpost
— Flag with three monkeys near the tavern’s fireplace 🗺

The flag of a very watchful pirate stands to this day on Sanctuary Outpost.

The flag of triheadedmonkey, who would always call out pirates for breaking the Pirate Code. Nobody got away with shenanigans on his watch!

Scruffy Scribe
Shark Bait Cove
— A book inside the cave 🗺

A poetic pirate left a scruffy book inside a cave at Shark Bait Cove, beside a shrine.

Upon the Sea of Thieves, many stories have been told, Of ancient creatures, hoards of gold and of pirates great and bold. But the tales that matter most, at least that is to me, are the ones of love and laughter, and friendship on the sea. Cap’n “Scruffy” Beardstroker.

The Gift Givers

Delicious Delivery
Morrow’s Peak Outpost
— Crate near the Merchant Alliance shop 🗺

They say that an unusual merchant delivery ended up on the docks at Morrow’s Peak.

This package is part of a correspondence between caring pirates from different regions. Becoming friends despite living far apart, they sent this care package of confectionary — but the contents were scoffed long ago.

May Contain Boom
Golden Sands Outpost
— Remains of a gunpowder near the Weaponsmith’s shop 🗺

A pirate once made quite the bang over at Golden Sands, somewhere behind the shops…

~Pirate Legend Jackie’s Boombox~
One of the first pirates to make a name for herself on the Seas, Umbra heard that Jackie took this barrel everywhere. That was perhaps a mistake, but nobody could convince her to leave behind her ‘boombox’.

Big Love in a Small Package
Galleon’s Grave Outpost
— A package with a hat at the Merchant Alliance shop 🗺

A parcel and hat on the dock at Galleon’s Grave suggest that the Wilds may be civilised after all.

Lesleyann was a true pirate legend, who delivered vital gifts to a friend in dire need. Knowing that her friend was suffering with poor health, she did all in her power to keep her in touch with the rest of the Sea of Thieves.

Putting the Ship in Friendship
The Finest Trading Post
— Model ship on the shelf’s shop 🗺

At The Finest Trading Post is a fine work of craftswomanship.

This model ship, ‘The Allegiant’, was lovingly crafted in fine detail by Chocmocjoo, to celebrate a year of smooth sailing. Delivered with the help of a community of pirates, this gift is for everyone on the Sea of Thieves.

Charitable Pirating
Lagoon of Whispers
— The Stream Sailor makeup is purchasable at any Clothing Shop.

Show Umbra the Stream Sailor makeup by speaking to her while wearing it.

Makeup inspired by a famous pirate who was known for her sense of style and loyal following.
What a stunning, sea-inspired tone you wear. Just like Daggers McTimbers! She’s quite the generous pirate. She once sailed for 24 hours straight, gaining gold donations from all she passed, to give to pirates in need! You certainly can’t miss her colourful style when she comes sailing along…

The Early Settlers

Who’s a Good Boy?
Galleon’s Grave Outpost
— Dog bowl at the top of the wrecked Galleon 🗺

On Galleon’s Grave, high up on the wreck, there lived a dog of legendary adorableness.

You don’t need Umbra to know the legend of Kato, the most beloved dog on the seas. Patting him on the head was sure to bring fortune to your voyages!

Fool’s Gold
Cannon Cove
— Barrel with a dagger inside the cave 🗺

On Cannon Cove, a pirate once thought outside the barrel when it came to making money.

Legend has it that The Aaron Leigh minted his own coins as a tribute to the architects of the seas. He sailed across the world to hand-deliver them, though one somehow ended up here.

Nesting Spot
Crow’s Nest Fortress
— Crow’s Nest of the fort 🗺

High as a crow’s nest, at Crow’s Nest Fortress…

The mark of The Crow’s Nest, run by Captain Jay — a pirate who shouted their stories for all to hear. They practically turned this fort into an amphitheatre.

Hallowed Ground
Ferry of the Damned
— Name engraved into to right pillar of the exit door.

Stories abound of a pirate brazen enough to deface even the Ferry of the Damned!

When the Sea of Thieves as we know it was still taking shape, it is believed that ‘Hallower MCMLXXX’ was the first pirate to visit the Ferry. That rumour is unconfirmed… but they certainly left their mark. Umbra wonders what punishment the Ferryman bestowed for this defacement…

Pirate Leg End
Lagoon of Whispers
— The Sea Dog Pegleg is purchasable at any Clothing Shop.

Show Umbra the Sea Dog Pegleg by speaking to her while wearing it.

A small accident with a gunpowder barrel and this bit of wood created the legend of Peg Leg Perrez.
That leg reminds me of the legendary Peg Leg Perez! Now that pirate gets into some scrapes. His tale is well known — a pirate who came to these seas long ago, when the Outpost still had fresh paint! He has a fanatical love for rare things — a collector and explorer with a heart for adventure. Watch out for that one…

Umbra’s Journals

Untitled Journals

Lagoon of Whispers — In a crate full of books near Umbra.

There is a journal here, hand-written in a hasty fashion.
I’ve been captured by pirates… again! Just my luck. I overheard the crew discussing their plans, looks like I’m heading back to the Sea of Thieves. I must embrace the path that destiny has put before me. I’ll let these fools navigate the Shroud then I’ll escape once we’re safe. Second time I’ve been caught by pirates and dragged here… perhaps I’m where I’m meant to be.

Lagoon of Whispers — In the broken rowboat.

This journal talks about a daring escape.
Notes for my life story: Once through the Devil’s Shroud, I waited until the crew had drunk themselves silly in celebration. I escaped the brig by regaling my jailor with one of my most exciting stories. Once he came closer, he was already done for! I snuck onto a rowboat and made it here. As I rowed away, I noticed that the Shroud ate a huge hole in their ship. I doubt I’ll see them again.

Lagoon of Whispers — By another crate full of books near Umbra.

This journal is written in a steady hand, by someone taking their time.
Now that I’ve set up camp, this place feels more like home. But, if I’m going to stay, I’ll need to go and get more supplies. I’ll go soon. Listening to my captor’s tales of legendary deeds has got me intrigued. I’d love to document the weird and wonderful people who live here! I should research these legends. But first, I will record the full tale of my arrival. Fortunately, running out of paper is no problem for me…

Legends of the Sea I

Devil’s Ridge — At the top of a rocky peak to the southeast 🗺

This book is about the arrival of The Hungering One… signed by ‘Umbra’.
After asking Merrick himself, deciphering his drunken journals and speaking to pirates who were there, I believe this is it. This is where they used Merrick’s accidental enchanted shanty to summon forth the first Megalodon — The Hungering One! Those pirates avenged poor Merrick’s crew, not to mention his legs. But now all of the ancient, deep sharks have awoken…

Legends of the Sea II

Crescent Isle— In a broken barrel on the beach near the east entrance to the cave 🗺

This book is about the origins of the Warsmith… signed by ‘Umbra’.
I met Salty — a genuine skeletal parrot! He was once a man, but was changed when creating cursed cannonballs from one of Flameheart’s cannons. His partner in alchemy was the weaponsmith, Wanda, who forced him to take the brunt of the curse. But she did not escape unscathed. Flameheart’s hatred fed her own, until she became the twisted skeleton captain, ‘The Warsmith’. She waged a failed war on the Outposts.

Legends of the Sea III

The Devil’s Thirst — In a crate at the camp on the cliff 🗺

This book is about the fate of the Forsaken Shores Alliance… signed by ‘Umbra’.
When Grace Morrow and Stitcher Jim joined their crews to form The Forsaken Shores Alliance, they travelled to places few pirates had seen. They even reached The Devil’s Roar thanks to the Shroudbreaker, but Stitcher Jim was secretly seeking power for his then-master, the Gold Hoarder. He betrayed and killed all of them but Captain Morrow, who survived her poisoning but was trapped in the Roar. A dark tale indeed.

Legends of the Sea IV

The Crooked Masts — At the top of the peak next to the beacon 🗺

This book is about the Festival of the Damned… signed by ‘Umbra’.
This ways no easy spot to reach! During the Festival of the Damned, pirates would light these beacons with various coloured flames. How incredible that the Ferryman allowed access to the Flames of Fate, which change to reflect how a pirate dies. I’d like to learn more about them… but I’m not rushing to the Ferry of the Damned. What if I don’t come back? A chilling prospect.

Legends of the Sea V

Kraken’s Fall — In bones at the southeast tip of the island 🗺

This book is about the hunting of Krakens… signed by ‘Umbra’.
The fogs on the Sea of Thieves are heavy, but were especially bad during a certain year. They seemed to stir up the Krakens and sharks. Perhaps those creatures just saw a chance to prey on lost ships, but the tables soon turned as pirates realised something… Many Krakens and Megalodons eat up valuable loot from the ships they sink. Suddenly, hunting them for goodies became a tempting prospect!

Legends of the Sea VI

Pirate Legend Hideout — On the shelf next to the shark jaw on the wall behind the musicians.

This book is about a man named ‘Ramsey’ and the Gold Hoarder… signed by ‘Umbra’.
It seems that the feared Gold Hoarder, a great Skeleton Lord who amassed great wealth through the Gold Hoarder Company, was recently defeated. Many pirates travelled far and braved terrible traps, Skeleton Lords and more to rebuild the Shroudbreaker and reach his island. The Hoarder was once a man, until his greed took over. His friend Ramsey was forced to turn his back on him. Could Ramsey in fact be…?

Legends of the Sea VII

Hidden Spring Keep — At the top of the southwest structure 🗺

This book is about Duke selling gunpowder to the Trading Companies… signed by ‘Umbra’.
The skeletons once began hoarding huge amount of gunpowder, known since as ‘Black Powder Stashes’. The Trading Companies didn’t like that, so Duke of the Bilge Rats saw a chance to make the seas safer while also making a lot of gold. It seems this was Duke’s first step towards acquiring the connections and capital needed to launch the Black Market.

Legends of the Sea VIII

Shipwreck Bay — Under a chair in the captain’s quarters of the shipwreck 🗺

This book is about the theft of the Dark Relics… signed by ‘Umbra’.
I have found some strange artefacts, which I believe to be what the Order of Souls calls ‘Dark Relics’. Many of these arcane objects were stolen from them in an organised effort by the skeletons, though Duke was able to retrieve many. The Dark Relics were later used for terrible deeds, opening windows to other worlds and dispelling powerful curses!

Legends of the Sea IX

Wild Treasures Store — By the hammock 🗺

This book is about Duke’s business and the arrival of the Emporium… signed by ‘Umbra’.
I’ve come across strange activity by Duke. It seems he got much of his Black Market stock from these accursed Reaper’s Chests. The things he couldn’t use — piles of bones, mostly — he sold on as Rag and Bone Crates. Strange what people will do to make their way. These Pirate Emporium folks, for example. Once Gold Hoarders, now working for some outsider. But suck delightful pets they sell!

Legends of the Sea X

Fort of the Damned — At the top of the westernmost structure at the top of the island 🗺

This book is about the appearance of the Fort of the Damned… signed by ‘Umbra’.
Stitcher Jim believes that the appearance of the Fort of the Damned is the result of a ritual using the stolen Dark Relics. Pirates have found that the coloured Flames of Fate can be used to ‘wake’ the twisted Fort and repel the skeletons seeking to use it. But what’s really going on? Such determination to get into our world… but are we stopping them or helping them by waking the Fort?!
