The legend

There once was a magical sword cast from obsidian by the gods for the noble of will and pure of heart- but a pirate found it first.

Take on the role of a black-hearted pirate and ravage the shores of three islands in a quest for power, infamy, and heaping piles of gold!

Fight beasts of the sea, platoons of bounty hunters, harmless little beach creatures, and terrified townsfolk as you take what is yours and solve every problem with violence.
