Skull Island (World)

Skull Island is the first world we visit in Pirate101.

About Skull Island


The isles of Skull Island offer much to entice merchants and colonists: exotic fruits, spices, and timber draw high prices in markets across the Spiral, offering a fortune to any captain brave and resourceful enough to ship or smuggle them out. In th e deepest jungles, crumbling ruins stand as remnants of a forgotten past. These ruins are the most dangerous places in Skull Island, but also the most tempting - the crumbling temples are adorned with solid gold!

Too far from the center of the Spiral for the great powers to exert much control, most of Skull Island is ruled by the Pirates themselves - crews and gangs have taken over failed colonies or built new ramshackle cities of their own: Jonah Town, Flotsam , Scrimshaw , and Skull Island itself, Captain Avery's Pirate capital.

The southern Skyways of Skull Island are dominated by Pirates, while the north features two great colonies: the thriving Monquistan city Puerto Mico, and the Marleybonian colony of Port Regal. Monquista owes its entire rise to the gold the Monkeys found in the ancien t ruins, while the Dogs of Marleybone work tirelessly to corner the spice market. Their power broken long ago, the Cutthroats still prowl the shipping lanes, making as much trouble as they can, while Wharf Rats smuggle all manner of cargoes in and out of Skull Island, building a huge black market.

Skull Island Skyway
The Skull Island Skyway has been viewed as a target by many factions, such as the Cutthroats  and the Armada. Recently, Skull Island has been the partially united by Captain Avery   after buying it from Marleybone.

Flotsam Skyway
The players have to visit Flotsam skyway to find One-Eyed Jack and Ratbeard. This Skyway is full of Waponi canoes and ships.

Tradewinds Skyway
This skyway is prodominatly ruled by Monquistian colonies and Wharf Rats. This territory is in constant violence and warfare, as every power (be it one of the Imperial Powers  or a minor group) is trying to gain a monopoly on this place.

Port Regal Skyway
Primarily Marleybone controlled skyway, other than smaller locations seized by the Armada. The largest settlement here is Port Regal.
