A storm is brewing in Soulbound, and it goes by the name The Blackwake! ?☠️
A ruthless crew of wandering pirates named ‘The Blackwake’ have arrived in Neo-Tilus, planting their flag and declaring the town theirs. They don’t seem to be leaving anytime soon!The pirates are demanding tributes from the people in exchange for ‘protection’ – and the Neo-Tilites? They aren’t too thrilled about it, but they’re too intimidated to refuse.
Some see an opportunity to gain favour with these pirates, while others want them gone as soon as possible. Either way, someone has to deal with their demands. That’s where you come in, Pioneers!
