Prologue [ ]

The Castaway

So, you travelled to the Sea of the Damned, walked its shores and constitute one who was lost in him own past…
Non many can walk across the veil that style.
The things they see steal away their minds forever…
'Til they even forget that them dead…
But Davy Jones will not forget how you lot stood in him way.
Nor will him forgive the Siren Queen for declining him. He—
Await-- we are not alone…
You know you cannot hibernate from me, Jack Sparrow!

Jack Sparrow

Uh, I wasn't hiding! I was… eavesdropping. Vastly difference pastimes.

The Castaway

In that location him stand… Another pirate who's twice come up back from the land of the dead.
Who escaped the raid on Isla Tesoro and even found the Fountain of Youth…

Jack Sparrow

Oi! Have you been gossiping well-nigh me with this… this foreign, book-obsessed individual?
Whatever they've told y'all, it'south non truthful.
Unless it'southward flattering, in which case it's all true only they left out the best bits.

The Castaway

The man who stole the but trinket that can reach Davy Jones… A pendant, twin to the 1 Jones himself possesses.

Jack Sparrow

How can you know all this? That pendant—

The Castaway

Belongs to me.

Jack Sparrow

You lot can't be…

Calypso

Yep, this fourth dimension it was the ocean what brought y'all dorsum to me, Jack.

(Calypso magically removes her "Castaway" disguise)

Jack Sparrow

Tia Dalma! Uh, Calypso! Shouldn't you… be floating on a cloud, or bubbling, or whatsoever it is body of water goddesses do?
And while I'one thousand asking the questions, am I alive or am I not?

Calypso

The Sea of Thieves is haunting place. It bestows many gifts, even upon the dead.
That is why I followed the Blackness Pearl here. To protect these sacred waters from Davy Jones and that which follow him.
That is all the answers I have. Now you lot must heed…
Davy Jones know that the pirates of this world threaten him plans.
So, him summonin' his own dark version of a Brethren Court, made of those roughshod and corrupted souls who long to dominion the Bounding main of Thieves.
If him succeed, him ability will be greater than ever before.

Jack Sparrow

This is why I honey running into old friends. They always have such cheery news.
Simply if Jones is inviting his friends for tea, that means we know where to observe him, and, by the by, my Treasure.

Calypso

You lot speak the truth. And since you still hold the key to his fortress, with my sketches you can observe your manner within.
Think of what y'all want about, Jack Sparrow. It will show you the way.

Jack Sparrow

Right. Well, given that these are unfamiliar waters, and I lack a ship with which to sheet upon them, critical decision must be made.
You lot will always call back this as the 24-hour interval your crew was joined… past Captain Jack Sparrow!
Now I know that's a great honour to bestow upon a humble vessel such as yours, simply don't you lot worry – I promise you won't be an imposition.
Tia Dalma, about that Treasure. If information technology was entrusted to Davy Jones, that can only mean--

Calypso

Hush! In that location are some truths not fix to exist told.
Their time will come when the deed is washed. At present make sheet, witty Jack, and exist swift!

Jack Sparrow

Oh. Well then… See you aboard!

The Court Convenes [ ]

Upon entering the meeting room of the Nighttime Brethren, Wanda, Davy Jones, Duke and The Gold Hoarder can he seen holding a meeting. As long as you don't move in likewise close, their dialogue can exist played in total.

Wanda

Well, Jones? The Night Brethren accept heeded your call, and now I'g sure we're all curious to learn why we were summoned.
Was your dalliance with the Siren Queen not all you dreamed it might exist?

Davy Jones

PAH! The Sirens are loyal to me as long as I can summon their precious "daughter".
However, they cannot guard my Lock if pirates canvass gratuitous and interfere without consequence!
That is why I take sought new orders...

Golden Hoarder

Jones... Obeys...?

Wanda

Oh-ho? The legendary Davy Jones is at present in service to another?
Tell u.s.a., who might this fearsome private be?

Davy Jones

The blaggard who absconded with my centre...
Now - this Nighttime Brethren court has formed, and our force volition command the seas once and for all.

Duke

What you've promised may have brought our loyalty to the Brethren, just not even Captain Flameheart has been able to conquer the Bounding main of Thieves.
Why should we expect to succeed?

Davy Jones

Flameheart was blinded by his own rage and obsessed with killing.
Control of these waters is not about slaughter of our enemies. It'southward almost what happens next...

Duke

Y'all're talking well-nigh the Ferryman...

Davy Jones

Aye, with the power of the Treasure I possess and the total force of the Dark Brethren at my side,
nosotros finally take might enough to destroy his vessel.

Wanda

And yous'll be his replacement?

Davy Jones

I most certainly volition, Warsmith. And only those pirates who swear an oath to the Brethren will render from my vessel!
We'll control every pirate on the Sea of Thieves... Ah, only that's only the beginning on the Captain's plans...
And those who follow orders volition be duly rewarded.
Equally I promised, Golden Hoarder. 882 gold coins of immeasurable value... the Aztec Gold of Cortes!
Payment in full for obedience.

Aureate Hoarder

Cor... tes... Cursed...

Davy Jones

Aye, past a treasure bathed in claret.
The Aztecs delivered these coins to Cortes in substitution for their lives, only his conquests continued.
Now, any mortal who takes then every bit a single money will be punished for all eternity.
Yous yourself have paid the cost to such greed earlier.

Gold Hoarder

Where... is Cap'n...

Davy Jones

That is not your business organization. One time we've secured this world for the Brethren, he'll canvas to us.
Now, the preparations are complete. It'due south time to bridge the worlds and take our rightful places as Lords of the Body of water!
BEGIN THE RITUAL!

Journals [ ]

My Darkest Hour [ ]

Plant later on entering the first door into the Coral Fortress. The periodical is amongst some wreckage to the right, as you pass through the door.

Dialogue icon.png

(It'southward unclear who wrote this journal…)
"The need for hiding my face up will soon be gone." I wrote those words on what I believed would be the eve of my greatest triumph, earning me a identify at my dear's side.
I had worked ceaselessly to bring you back from beyond the veil. Hearing your whispered words equally I struggled, enthralled by the prospect of reigning as your queen.
Every bit your battles raged on, I came to realize that there would never be a seat for me at your side. Like Stitcher Jim earlier me, I had unwittingly served my purpose.
Then came the day I confronted y'all. Confessed my dear to you, and demanded proof of your devotion to me. Your laughter froze my called-for blood to ice.
Flameheart, my 'King', I will take great pleasance in annihilating the Sea of Thieves equally y'all sentinel, helplessly, from the heavens. You shall having nothing left to conquer.

Following [ ]

Later first inbound the Coral Fortress in that location is a water filled tunnel to swim through. The journal is on the left, about the end of the tunnel before the rock blockage at the stop.

Dialogue icon.png

Following, by First Mate Yenay
Whenever I am lost in the cold and the dark, he comes to me.
How many merfolk truly swim below our feet as we sail our Sea of Thieves? I am so used to their familiar song, I scarcely cease to wonder.
Like my fellow pirates, I have been rescued form the icy waters and spirited back to my ship by the kind touch on of many merfolk, men and women akin.
Information technology was rude of me not to pay them more heed, perchance, but I was normally distracted past the heat of battle or concerned for the prophylactic of my ship.
That is, until the day I noticed that there was just one mer searching for me. Each and every time, the same. No matter where I sailed, he was there.

Company [ ]

Afterwards the water filled tunnel nearly the start, you'll enter a tall room. While moving up the room, there is a pulley to move across a plank of woods. Subsequently this, step onto the yellow coral and drop down a onto a ledge below. This is where the periodical is located.

Dialogue icon.png

Company, past First Mate Yenay
The others call up I have sunstroke. That is how I explained throwing myself over the ship's railing and into the body of water. In truth, I longed to see him.
He broke the surface of the waves at my side, as I knew he would, just I did not take his hand right abroad. I wished to drink in all of him that I could.
He is… not precisely handsome, for a life at sea soon knocks such conceits out of us with everyday bumps and bruises. But he has kind optics.
I am certain that he is following our ship. In those rare moments when the wind is still and the seas are tranquility, I can hear the repeat of this vocal.
Tonight, when the others are asleep, I will go for a moonlight swim, and stay in the water with him until the dawn, or the sharks, come to function u.s..

Davy Jones [ ]

On a box on the right, after you enter the helm's cabin of the Flying Dutchman.

(It'due south unclear who wrote this periodical…)
I was born to be a weaponsmith rather than a common criminal, just you cannot alive a life at ocean without hearing the legend of Davy Jones.
For a pirate, clinging to their last seconds of life and watching the concluding grains of sand tumble through the hourglass, his arrival must induce sheer terror.
His bargain is simple: agree to serve aboard his mighty vessel, the Flying Dutchman, and avoid taking that final step beyond life'south threshold.
Those scoundrels who beguile their pact with Jones, or who displease him in some other mode, are cast downwards to his Locker. Pirates for all eternity, indeed.
This is a world where the pirates' life hangs not by the fragile thread, merely past the mighty aureate chain. With our help, Jones will have forcefulness enough to sever it.

Risk [ ]

Found in a large chamber soon after the room with the Dutchman. Swim down to the left to notice an open cage chained to the flooring, containing the periodical.

Risk, by First Mate Yenay
The Captain took me aside today, She wasn't cruel, only concerned. She reminded me that we know so piffling about the mer and where they came from.
I am not virtually to listen to old stories of pirates being dragged nether the waves and transformed! And if it were to happen, at least I could be with him.
I pigeon into the body of water again that night, eager to launder away the statement. I shortly found that I was not the only one who had a confrontation that day.
There was a scratch on his arm. Deep, I think, though he would not let me touch it. Nor tend to the wound, non that I knew how. I swam with him instead.
I awoke today to a wrongness – to a silence. Now it is about the evening, and I have not heard his song. Every moment until sunset is desperation.

A Better Offer [ ]

Plant underneath a platform with a ladder on it after hopping across the floating shipwreck pieces.

(Information technology's unclear who wrote this journal…)
"If you want peace, fix for war." Words spoken by a general whose bones long agone crumbled to dust. Words that these bones even so remember.
I accept spent my life preparing for war. More than that – I have crafted state of war, mastered the art of it. In one case, I came close to losing myself to its flames.
My efforts were unappreciated, my finest weapons used by pitiful pirates to skewer snakes or hack at one another in some pointless brawl, but I persisted.
My loyal Skeleton Fleets introduced the Sea of Thieves to the truth of war. Meliorate yet, my efforts at The Reaper'southward Hideout taught pirates to state of war among themselves.
None of it has been enough, but now…an invitation. The ultimate test of my skills. Fashioning a State of war that will end all Wars. How can I possibly refuse?

Change [ ]

Found resting in a yellowish ready of coral towards the left of the Sea Crawler fight room.

Change, by Offset Mate Yenay
It has been weeks since I felt like writing anything. Like feeling anything. Weeks since I have seen him. And then today… a shadow, under the ship.
There was signing, too, but information technology was… dissimilar. A sad song. The others heard it, I could tell. The Captain has had her pistol loaded ever since.
Sirens are nix merely an old pirate legend, but legends accept a way of coming true out here, don't they? The Merchants talk of so many missing crews…
If pirates tin can go merfolk, and so what might merfolk become?
The sad song is back. Louder. All around united states at present. He is here, and he is not alone.

A Change of Location [ ]

Establish at the summit of a siren statue puzzle room after the water level has raised.

(It'south unclear who wrote this journal…)
I take go used to hiding. I hid my arm from customers, not to mention my hag of a sister, when my skeletal curse showtime began to claim information technology.
After, I hid my name, then my voice, and – reluctantly – my face. Whenever a fresh starting time was needed, I would depart. Retreat, also, is a function of war.
Thankfully, I take become quite adept at sailing beneath the waves, an advantage shared both by Davy Jones and the Flying Dutchman itself.
Jones was wise to ally with the Sirens. Temperamental equally they are, their spires and fortresses are built-in from the sea, and Jones cannot set human foot on land.
Every bit his allies, we shall soon acquit the Eternal Deal of Davy Jones to places he may non tread. I have arrived, and the Dark Brethren courtroom is about to form…

Rescue [ ]

Found confronting the right wall of the ramp that leads down into the courtroom.

Rescue, By Yenay
Even every bit he tore our send apart, he was weeping. Tears from those blank, pale eyes, no longer kind. Twin mirrors, reflecting my horrified face.
The Helm is gone. She flung herself into the water with her pistol and blunderbuss, ignoring my panicked shriek not to hurt him. Buying united states time.
I don't feel despair. I don't even feel fury. I feel certainty, because I know what has to be done. Finally, it is my plow to rescue him.
Illness can be cured. Curses tin be put correct. Somewhere on or under this vast, strange Sea of Thieves, there is a way to restore his song.
I am Yenay, First Mate no more. However long it takes me, I will non end and I will non falter. Not until I am one time once again gazing into those kind eyes.

The Brethren Convenes [ ]

Found in the room of the Brethren Court resting against a chair at the table in the center of the room.

The Brethren Convenes, by Wanda the Warsmith
Scrutinizing this strange drove of faces – some unfamiliar, some unexpected – I accept finally realized merely what has drawn us here.
The Fallen Ruler – the aureate on his skull now mottled and tarnished, whose greed could never be sated past the paltry tributes of his disciples.
The Outcast – blamed by his kin for causing chaos, at present lured hither by the Sirens' song. He sees, at last, that his dream is over. It is time to wake up.
Davy Jones himself – in one case a pirate, whose greatest love was the sea, simply that bounding main betrayed him in the finish. Took all it could, gave zilch dorsum.
We are all here because nosotros have lived the lie of the pirate's life, in our own ways, and it brought us naught but anguish. Now it is time for the lie to end.
