Intro: The Golden Age of Piracy was a real event period in history, this era lasted from 1660s to around the 1730's. Throughout this age empires began to rise and so did colonization of the new world. Pirates challenged the empires and opposed their opression and tyranny boldly during this epoch. Piracy was most successful during this time period earning it's title "The Golden Age of Pirates" from historians.

Roleplay: For a Roleplay people can create their own pirates or privateers along with their own ships. Privateers would be bound to their countries (Such as England, France, Spain, Portugal, Netherlands, and other Nations of the era), but they could covert over to becoming pirates throughtout the story and the opposite with pirates (Pirates could become privateers). Since empires are rising during this period people can form their own pirate factions and armadas and rule the seas with their firepower.

Story Plot Ideas: 1. Pirates rule the seas and tasked with hunting them down are the brave privateers hand picked by their Nations majestys. These privateers form a small band of independant ships comprised of differnet factions to hunt down these pirates. In their search for the enemies they encounter a pirate ship containing maps to fortified islands occupied by the pirates. When they reach the first island it is deserted, to greet them is a sea monster (Squid/Kraken) which has set a trap for unfortunate ships roaming the area.
