Story / History:

On the south shores of the Dragon Sea, somewhere behind the deadly reefs, there is a city of Pirates who have preyed upon unwary vessels for generations. A scruffy group of vagabonds, mariners and fugitives from other cities, they have been a persistent thorn in the side of legitimate maritime trade.

Recently, however, this has all changed. Now rumors abound of a clandestine alliance between the Corsairs and a Circle of Powerful Mages... Freak storms arise without warning on the Dragon Sea, shipwrecking the crews of trading vessels on Charon's Barrier Reef. Even the infrequent naval squadrons sent to put an end to the Pirate Citadel have fallen prey to the unpredictably violent weather. There is no law on the High Seas... except what justice a Captain and his crew can enforce by cannonade and cutlass.

Mobs of Note:

Bilbert - (razor sharp falchion, tarnished brass ring, swordbreaker, black leather vest), Fabius Pugionis - (silver lightning pendant, elementalist's focus stone), Henry Robertson - (various pieces of flamboyant pirate apparel), Maldric Bluesail - (blue flowing cape, rapier, flamboyant blue scarf, wide leather swordbelt), marine - (albatross), Procella Fuscus - (silver celtic armbands, feathered headband, lightning pendant), Salmoneus - (golden lightning amulet, blue cowled robe)

General Zone Strategies:

Beware the tricky death trap at the entrance of the Citadel: the portcullis can be entered by traveling west, but you may NOT exit east, the way you came, without losing all of your equipment. You'll need to either recall, be summoned, or use the dungeon tunnels to exit this zone.

The Citadel recently (2020) received a hefty equipment upgrade, adding a wide variety of stat and SAC items. Worthy of your thorough re-exploration of this richly detailed pirate stronghold!
