SEASON OF THE SHACKLES
Some pirates choose to become scurvy scum, but some are merely heroes who’ve strayed a bit off course. You could have chosen to live among honest, reputable folk, but through misadventure, you’ve drifted into the Shackles, a chain of islands off the western coast of Garund, just south of an eternal hurricane called the Eye of Abendego. Power and privilege increase your chances of survival here, so you’ll want to gain a ship of your own, recruit a crew you can trust, and seize enough ships to form a fleet. If you’re gonna stay here, there’s no better path to power than claiming a seat on the Pirate Council. Through courage, conquest, exploration, and a little bit of skullduggery, you’ll prove to the council you’re dangerous enough to rule beside them… because if they don’t, your armada is going to blast their ships to the briny deep. Survive the Shackles, and one day, you could be worthy of setting sail with the Hurricane King himself.
