Imagine walking the bustling streets of New Crossford, where some of the most infamous and notorious figures of the Golden Age of Piracy – those whose names still echo through the annals of history – are once again stepping through mystical faerie portals. But time and the relentless hand of the Law are closing in. Pursued relentlessly by the Crown's formidable forces, these hardened sea rogues face an incredibly fateful choice: will they choose to accept a pardon and become royal privateers, aligning themselves with the very forces they once battled, or will they opt to continue sailing boldly under the iconic Black flag, embracing the freedom and danger of a life of piracy? You'll be right there, in the heart of their drama!

Delicious food, drinks, and snacks await around every corner, promising a culinary adventure through the shire. Over 30 unique merchants, vendors, and crafters populate Crossford's Artisan Village, offering treasures and creations that will captivate your eye. Throughout your journey, you'll be surrounded by colorful characters, charming artists, and playful scenes, all designed to entertain you from the moment you arrive.
