(I got struck with the pirate need and since y’all liked the god goddess one I did. I figured I’d share this as well). LONG POST I’M SORRY! I DON’T KNOW HOW TO DO THE KEEP READING CUT ON MOBILE.
In this world it’s pirates vs the monarchy. The pirates have established bases and territory on relatively small islands on a route that is well traveled. Despite numerous efforts by the royal navy, the pirates have managed to continuously defeat royal forces. Many commoners and civillians whisper that the pirates have more than guns, canons, and ships in their favor but who can really be certain?
ATLANTIS: Smack in the center of pirate territory is the partially submerged fortress of atlantis. Despite being partiality submerged, it is fairly large and navigating it is treacherous. Stone towers and chunks of wall hover just below the surface ready to smash the underbelly of privateer ships. Despite several raids with canon fire the fortress remains intact. Some privateers claim canon never reaches the stone. Others say the stone won’t crack. More say it’s as if a great invisible dome protects it. Kaldur is the young pirate who rules there, the ruler of atlantis.
LIGHTNIN’ ISLAN’: Slightly to the East of Atlantis is a stretch of island with a passing resemblance to a lightning bolt. It’s also known for constant thunderstorms above it. The legends say no one but a pirate can set foot on the island. And that deep within its evergreen forest lies miles of buried treasure, defended by the red lightning spirits and the green ghosts of pirates murdered on the island. The most commonly spotted ghost is a centuries old soldier by the name of Hal Jordan. Him and the reportedly living flashes of lightning keep the faint of heart away.
ANIMAL KINGDOM: a smaller island to the west of Atlantis with multiple sand bars extending from its core. Some call them Anansi’s legs. An african trickster god. It’s nicknamed that due to the african warrior demigoddess who rules the island. Notorious for destroying slaver ships and raiding ports who trade in people. Mari mccabe is called the pirate vixen. Stronger than a whale, more ruthless than a shark, faster than a marlan, trickier to catch than an octopus. No one dares attack the animal kingdom, those who’ve tried haven’t lived to tell the tale.
SIREN’S ROCKS: To the North East of Atlantis, just past lightnin islan, is a treacherous outcroping of rocks. Littered with the broken remains of foolish ships past. With such a visible reputation you would think sailors would steer clear. But something about those rocks draws men in, maybe it’s the way the wind blows through the rocks and creates a sound like women laughing. Maybe it’s the reported lights that dance through the rocks at night, causing investigating ships to crash before they realize the danger. Maybe it’s the rumor of three beautiful women who bring women to their rocks for safety. Men have tried looking for the alleged women. Now their ships are covered in seaweed and rampant moss.
METAL ISLAND: Further to the North East, is a floating fortress, made of metal. It’s an ominous construction run by the mysterious Victor “Peg-Leg-Stone”. The scariest rumors say the fortress is a ship. With the most canons seen in any naval fleet. Many have tried to contact it. No response has been given. At night the ship glows an eerie red, and canon fire can be heard around it.
MYSTERY ISLE: reports place the island somewhere to the North West of Atlantis and just past Animal Kingdom. But, no one can ever seem to find it. An omnipresent mist surrounds its borders. But even with the previous coordinates it’s nigh impossible to find. Superstitious people say the island tends to move around, and that its lush vibrant jungle is alive. Even more unnerving, it is rumored to be the home of a great and powerful sea witch. Capable of bewitching the sea and tide or bringing you to your fate. Only the most desperate visit the lair of the sea witch Zatanna on her living greed island.
BAT CAVE COVE: Directly North of Atlantis is a peninsula litered with caves. There are said to be thousands of bats that dwell within the caves. But the strangest part is the pirate crw that lives there too. Their ship has sails dark as the night and has a black hull to match. When they sail at sunset no ship can spot them until it’s too late. Even more interesting is the land behind the bat caves. A forest litered with craters. Nicknamed crater forest, many people say it’s the sight where angels fell to the earth. One pirate rumored to be one of these angels s said to jump ships in a single bound, swim faster than fired canon ball. Some who see him turn tail in run instantly except he’s hardly ever seen since he sails with pirates of Bat Cave Cove.
ISLAND OF THE PIRATE QUEEN: Diana, queen of all pirates, most skilled and dangerous dwells on a large Island nestled between two royal territories just South West of Atlantis. They say her only rival in all the seven seas is young Kaldur, many pirates hoping the young ruler of Atlantis will become her successor. Diana commands her own fleet of amazonian pirate women. Much to the royals irritation she is unsinkable, her numbers are unfallable, her fortress impenetrable. She is the only real threat to royal rule and should she unite the pirate ships under her greecian banner than the entire sea couod be lost to pirate rule.
The highest ranking commanders in the royal navy are Leutinant Alexander Luthor, Major Vandal Savage, Warden Brian Issakson (brainiac) and the Lord Darkseid. Lord of Apokolips Fort, the most highly defended port in all the seas. Doomsday prison is reserved exclusively for pirates and pirate sympathizers where the most brutal torture and murders take place. It lies to the south west, below Atlantis, Animal Kingdom and Mystery Isle. It lies just behind the border of pirate waters and hangs pirates by the dozens as a warning.
