The Isle of Ghosts
A terrible curse haunts these forsaken waters...
1750; in the following months after the destruction of the Fountain of Youth by Spanish forces, there has been a chain of mysterious disappearances in the Caribbean Sea. Entire ships vanish into the mist without a single trace. Rumors spread quickly as sailors succumb to fear, circulating tales of monsters and mermaids and, worst of all, the restless souls of the dead. Some have theorized that the fountain's loss has created a breach between the mortal plane and the afterlife. Others believe Blackbeard, the infamous pirate captain, is seeking revenge from beyond the grave. No one can claim certainty on these frightening notions. There is even an old myth of Jolly Roger and his undead horde.
The strange activity soon caught the attention of the Brethren Court, only for the ruling Pirate Lords to go missing as well. Their whereabouts remain unknown. Numerous other pirates, both respected and feared, have arisen to fill the void left behind. Many are seeking the elusive Shipwreck Cove in order to end the curse once and for all. Others are using the chaos to their advantage, looting rival pirates and dodging the naval powers of Europe as they try to squash this new threat. There is a great uncertainty if piracy can survive in the Caribbean for much longer. Nevertheless, a new Brethren Court is forming. They have been tasked with defeating the Armada of the Damned before it is too late.
Conventional weapons are assumed to have no effect on the ghouls that lurk beyond the veil. Voodoo practitioners have found great success in sharing their arcane secrets, employing witchcraft to 'bless' the feeble armaments of buccaneers, for a hefty price of course. A handful of pirates even hire these vile priests and priestesses to join their motley crew. Yet with all the commotion stemming from their fiendish magic tricks, the newly-formed Isle of Ghosts contains a swarm of horrible creatures as terrifying as the Kraken. No pirate is safe in these dark times, but there is hope as the brave sail for the horizon. Yo ho, a pirate's life for me!
