ROYAL ORDERS

His Royal Highness the Prince requires your services, as his Promised Bride was abducted by the Enemies of the Crown.

Assemble your crew of misfits and prepare your old ship. Depart for the Rhomborian Isles where the Promised Bride was last seen. Find her and deliver to the Fort Quad on the Western Coast of Tetra.

Plantation owner should provide you with provisions for your journey.

If successful, your past wrongdoings as a pyrate are to be forgiven, but failure would bring upon you and your crew imminent & final justice.

DEV NOTE

This project is an experiment for a much larger Pirate / Naval project I have dreamed of making for a solid decade, set in the universe I've been working on for as much as so. It is a great endeavor, but I wholeheartedly believe in my course. The prize is there, just beyond the horizon. Setting sail!
