What the Kingdom Owes

Yarrr! Talk Like a Pirate Day, Part 2 is Live

GREAT news, Hero: you found your friends alive! :D
Not-so-good news: ... they're fish. O_O

The rulers of this underwater paradise you found yourself in have apologized politely for the mistake their Reapers made. Extremely politey. But the King seems unusually nervous when you mention Death. Something's more than just fishy in the land of Isthmia... it's rotten.

But Hero, it's better down where it's wetter, under the sea! Make sure you've finished part one of our Talk Like a Pirate Day event in /DeadlySeas, then /join IsthmiaCastle to fin-ish the story.

Booty Fer Buccaneers

A Hero like you never walks out of a castle empty-handed... not when you've solved the fish-tery of the disappearing townpeople and recovered your missing friends! Take on Isthmian Guards, kriller sharks, and the Reaper of the Sea, then take your loot the shell out of the Isthmian Offering's shop!

The sea’s most bloodthirsty buccaneers don’t give up without a fight… but victory is sweeter when it comes with treasure! Battle the Captains and crews in /PirateHunt to claim their loot. Fight to earn merge resources, then craft awe-some pirate armor sets.

Hunt for the Queen's Bounty

/join PirateHunt now and board Captain Rhubarb's ship, the Red Betty! Work with him and Lore's best bounty hunter, J6, to seek out the pirates on Queen Victoria's list. Click the globe in Captain Rhubarb's quarters to call up the map that'll lead you to your targets.

She's after some of the most vile, greedy, and just plain annoying pirate captains and crews... and if you catch'em YOU get the reward! 

ShadowScythe vs SpacePirates!

Did you see that streak of red in the stars? That was left behind by the Hydra's Hark after its crew and Commander, Gallaeon, plundered one of Empress Gravelyn's fortresses, attacking from the sky. She sent one of her DoomKnights to bring Gallaeon to heel, and if you help him battle the crew + captain, he's got orders to let you pillage 'til your pack can't hold anymore rewards. 

• /join doompirate
• Talk to Dusk to begin your quest to help subdue the crew
• Defeat Commander Gallaeon
• Victory unlocks a bonus quest + challenge fight against the Captain and crew

Commander Gallaeon & Crew Challenge

After you defeat Gallaeon in /doompirate, take him and his entire crew on at once. This nine mob challenge might be difficult to overcome, but if you are victorious enough times, you can earn Dusk's DoomTech DoomKnight armor, a house guard, and the Shadowscythe Pirate Warship house for yourself!

If you have the ShadowScythe Pirate Commander Upgrade Bonus pack, you've automatically unlocked a version of the house with a color-customization room!)
