Plunder Isles

Lore & Background

Though no single map officially bears this title, sailors recognize these waters by their bustling taverns and frequent skeleton encounters. It is the proving ground for the Golden Company's rivals and the Gold Hoarders alike. The sea here is often calm enough for trade but dark enough to hide ambushes from rival crews or the dreaded Sea Devils.

In Their Own Story

The ship cut through the morning mist, sails billowing as the coastline emerged from the haze. 'There she be,' grunted the quartermaster, pointing toward a familiar tavern flag fluttering in the breeze. The crew exchanged glances; they had heard rumors of a map hidden in this very cove. As the anchor dropped, the sound of gulls and distant cannon fire signaled that fortune was waiting, but so were those who sought to take it.

Reader's Guide

Navigating these waters requires knowledge of both geography and danger. The archipelago is dotted with small sandy beaches perfect for landing, as well as larger fortified islands housing outposts.

Key landmarks include the central taverns where trading companies operate, and the various forts that often house valuable loot or skeleton armies. Players should watch for shark-infested waters near shipwrecks.

Treasure locations vary but often include buried chests on beaches or hidden vaults within caves. Environmental hazards like storms and sea creatures are common, so keep your cannons ready.
