Lately the mood around Henesys has been chaotic at best. A strange rumor has been swirling throughout Victoria Island, and a lot of people are concenred about it. If you are a traveler yourself, surely you must have heard of the rumor by now. That there's a group of suspicious people seen around the Eastern shores of Henesys.

From what I hear, the suspicious group of people roam around in weird costumes and carry unusual weapons. People say they hear sounds coming from the shores. It's really puzzling. Could you investigate this for me?

Henesys is the town located in the center of Victoria Island. Not only is Athena Pierce keeping tabs on what's going on, so are Dark Lord, Dances with Balrog, and Grendel the Really Old. Please go over to The Forest East of Henesys and see if it's anything we may have to investigate further.

Hmmm...I don't think this is something we should take lightly.

Hey, who's that? I, Bart, will protect Kyrin and The Nautilus! Remember the name, the hero of the pirates, Bart! Hahahahaha! Wait, this is not it. What are you trying to do there? Whatever you are trying to do, it won't fool me! Not Bart!

Eh? What? You're just here to investigate because you've never seen us before? Why didn't you just say that from the get go? We're not aliens or anything like that! We're just Pirates. Fearsome, fight-to-the-last-man, potion-loving Pirates! Don't tell me you are thinking of Lord Pirate and those despicable bandits. They suck! We serve a cause much more true to the spirit of Victoria Island!

We ride around on our ship, The Nautilus, under the guidance of our captain, Kyrin, roaming around the coasts of Maple World, looking for the Black Magician. We use Knucklers and Guns to make sure that the root of all evil is vanquished--we want to make sure that the Black Magician never rises to the heights of power as he did before.

Just like the wisemen in Victoria Island training for the day the Black Magician returns, Kyrin is busy making sure that his followers stay in low numbers. She's so young, too. That's just so admirable!

So no more suspicious looks! We're not here to fight you! I swear on Kyrin's name! We come in peace!

We're not done with the fort's construction just yet, so I can't show you what's going on, but we'll be finished soon, so have no fear. If you want to join us and Kyrin and become a mighty Gunslinger or Brawler, come back later. By then, we'll be ready to accept you with open arms, and train you to live the life of a Pirate!
