of His Majesty’s Navy, a captain by courtesy, master and commander of a raw crew aboard an under-gunned sloop. She doesn’t look like much, but you love her like a mother loves a babe. Together, you’ll strike fear into your nation’s wicked enemies and defend your way of life in the most dangerous and exciting place on Earth. Your orders are sealed, the guns run out, the slow match is lit and your mission is clear… but you have to provide the courage.
an independent merchant adventurer tied to no company or government. You are the fuel that jumpstarts the engine of a thriving new world economy. You are an explorer, seeking lost treasures, undiscovered resources, and deadly secrets that will bring you fame, wealth, and glory. Most of all, you are the master of your own ship, and your own domain. Others inherit fortunes… you will forge yours in the crucible of the Burning Sea.
and you are charged with hunting down and destroying the enemies of the crown wherever you may find them. Though your foes call you “criminal” and “pirate,” to your nation you are a bold hero and the epitome of courage. You are a privateer. You do the jobs that no one else can… and take the prizes that are your due.
You live a life of freedom in the first true democracy the world has seen in millennia, sailing where you wish, taking what you want, and devil take the hindmost. Your articles are your creed; your cutlass and pistol are your most trusted friends. You are a pirate, a buccaneer, a brigand of the sea. Your life may be a short one but you will ensure it’s a happy one, and you couldn’t care less if it makes life difficult for fat merchantmen and glorious treasure fleets.
These are the stories you will live and play in Pirates of the Burning Sea, but every adventurous career tells a whole new story that changes with the choices you make. Who can save the virtue of the farmer’s daughter from the wicked plantation owner who covets her? Who can seek the lost city of El Dorado and fight to take it from the Mayan Navy? Who can recover the fabled treasure of the Knights Templar, or aid the Inquisition in their efforts to destroy it? Who can stop the depredations of the evil Sons of Cortez? Who can become the most feared pirate, the most daring freetrader, the most heroic privateer or the most honored naval officer in the Burning Sea?
