Dear settlers,

The Pirates have sneaked onto your home-island during the night, landing on your shores and causing all sorts of havoc in their quest for treasure! We'll need every able hand to meet them head-on before it gets out of control.

Run any Pirate themed adventure during this event, and receive a bountiful boost to loot and XP! Please note that loot-mails from these adventures must be received and opened during the event for it to have the bonuses applied.

And don't dally you scallywags; the event will end on Monday the 13th of August, at 05:00 BRT!
