The Forsaken Shores Alliance
It's no secret that the Sea of Thieves is hidden by a thick fog known as The Devil's Shroud. Save for those of us born here, all newcomers must navigate a specific route through the fog, as it eats away at ships and people alike.
But what you may not know is just how deep the Shroud goes. Whole chains of islands are lost inside! The fog moves, sometimes, revealing them or hiding others. Some pirates seek ways through, to uncover these lost lands... or as my friend Jim calls them, Forsaken Shores.
Now, Stitcher Jim is a man of ill repute, but he's keen to share a tale and that makes him okay in my book. Literally, because here he is, going in my book.
A long time ago, Stitcher Jim sailed in an alliance of two crews: The Forsaken Shores Alliance! They were dedicated to finding such places, using the magical figurehead of their flagship, Shroudbreaker. With this, they could penetrate the Shroud safely!
The last place they found was called The Devil's Roar, where the very earth tried to shake them off. Jim told me of volcanoes that spit huge rocks and geysers that threw his mates into the air... the place sounds lovely. But it also held plunder, untouched for years, on account of being beyond the Shroud.
Sadly, Jim's now stuck on this side of the fog. The Alliance leader, Captain Sorrow, betrayed everyone. She did them all in, one by one, with Jim barely escaping alive! He reckons she's still in The Devil's Roar, hoarding this rare treasure called a Box of "Wondrous" Secrets.
What kind of secrets? He wouldn't tell me, but he's desperate to find a way back there. Just hearing about it makes me curious, makes me itch to find one. It's already bugging me, not knowing what's inside. No wonder Sorrow went mad with greed... but it seems The Devil's Roar has become her prison for those crimes, as no-one has seen her since.
