Pirates of the Chain
This game has been retired! That means it's no longer being run.
The Chain is an archipelago, a series of small-ish islands which have been under a massive storm for as long as anyone can remember (there are references to it in nearly pre-historic tomes). However, around three decades ago, the storm lifted. The devil-worshipping Elterian Empire saw this as a sign of diabolic provenance; the world itself was opening up to their recent displays of power. So, they began warring against their neighbours, quickly enveloping and absorbing anyone in their path. Many were taken as slaves, while some got the chance to serve as serfs under Imperial rule. However, their overreach was their undoing; by going to war on so many fronts, even the superior numbers, advanced technology and Hellish interference the Empire could call upon couldn't stop them from over-extending. The Empire withdrew from the fronts to regroup, but not before razing the lands they stood in, to make sure no-one could use them until they returned.
Those who fled the wars moved east, away from the Western Empire and towards The Chain. Now that these islands, seemingly uninhabited, had become available, many chose to set up new lives here, hoping against hope the Empire would not be able to recover enough to move this far East. Now, decades later, they are already putting out feelers as far as the far east of The Chain. Many locals see it as their sworn duty to avenge their fallen friends, family and countrymen, and will defend their new lands to the death.
You are on the front lines of a brewing war. What better time to make a bit of cash?
