{{TEheader}}
{{TErow| 1 | Intro 1|It looks as if Sir [[Christian]] would be on his way home when one of his crewmembers discovered that the boat had no navigational equipment. Instead of getting a sailing ship, they got a dinghy for short distance traveling. The crewmembers began to wonder what kind of bet Sir [[Christian]] had lost. On the clear nights he used the stars to navigate his craft. But still had no idea where they were heading. After several days, scurvy, horrendous body odor, and severe sunburn one of the crewmembers spotted a small island flying a purple flag. The weak vessel held up well for most of the journey but was really beginning to take a beating from the rough ocean waters. Sir [[Christian]] decided to land his galley before it sank right from under his feet. Once ashore he met with the leader of the village to learn they were the world famous [[Regna]]n Pirates in charge of smuggling stolen loot to between [[Erathia]] and [[Enroth (nation)|Enroth]]. Sir [[Christian]] explained his situation to the leader of the village who then agreed to help him in one condition: Sir [[Christian]] would have to swear undying loyalty to the pirates and complete secrecy to their operation. The alternative was to get the comfy chair. After a moment of thought and consideration, Sir [[Christian]] came to the conclusion that he had no choice and joined the pirates. From the sound of it he didn't want to know what the comfy chair is. The pirates would help Sir [[Christian]] after he completed a small quest. Reluctantly, Sir [[Christian]] agrees but begins to sow the ocean with messages sealed in bottles hoping that one might reach [[Enroth (nation)|Enroth]] and a rescue ship will be sent.}}
{{TErow| 8 | Day 8|Beware of the fiery swamps in the underground. The enemy has taken over a fairly large fort down there. Therefore, you must overthrow that fort as well as the others. Take extreme caution when traveling there. Watch out for the R.O.U.S.'s!  Remember, there's not much time... Good luck, The Captain}}
{{TErow| 9 | Day 9|Your advisor suggests that you send off some spies to the other islands to get inside information about the enemies. Lucky for you Rent-A-Spy was having a Two-For-One deal this week only. You hire four spies. You glance at your own troops and a sad and desperate look comes across your face. "Bunch of drunken fools! You all should've been hired as jesters," you say to yourself. }}
{{TErow| 28 | Union Dues|freq=28|Congratulations again on your joining the [[Regna]]n Pirates Union. It's great to have you with us. You are now among the finest in piracy.  To keep your dues paid up please contribute to your pirate brethren. Your generous donation will help find a cure for scurvy and help thousands of C.O.A.P. (Children of Adult Pirates) get nutrition and the best piracy training gold can buy. Once again, thank you for your support.|effect=-5 {{c}} [[Crystal|Crysatls]], -7 {{gem}} [[Gems]], -1063 {{g}} [[Gold]]}}
{{TErow| 30 | Day 30|Only half of the spies have returned back from their mission. They were beaten bloody and barely alive. The others were captured by inquisitors, and found out what the comfy chair is all about. The spies tell you that the powerful enemies were stronger and larger than expected. Their artillery alone could, quite possibly, completely wipe us out. You commend them for their excellence. Your troops stand aside, clearly amazed,  to let them pass to follow their orders to bathe immediately!}}
{{TErow| 60 | Day 60|While traveling you meet with a messenger. He is resting on a rock.  You dismount and introduce yourself to the boy. In between his breaths he introduces himself as a messenger from [[Erathia]].  Surprised, you almost fall off of the rock you're sitting on. The boy looks at you strangely and then laughs. "...From [[Erathia]]?" you ask.  "Yes" says the boy. "I am to deliver a terrible message to a Sir [[Christian]]. Perhaps you know of him?" "Continue!" you interrupt.  "Can you tell me where he might be?' the boy asks. "Perhaps I can. Tell me the message." you reply. "Well...ok." The boy pulls out a scroll out of his back and unrolls it and the bottom of it hits your feet. "It's rather...uh... lengthy," the boy says hesitantly. "...Here goes. [[Erathia]] has gotten information that while Sir [[Christian]] was on a pleasure cruise he and his crew ran into some slight difficulties. Avoiding a painful death Sir [[Christian]] joined the [[Regna]]n Pirates in hopes they would help him to get back home. Am I correct so far?" The boy asks. You ask the boy how [[Erathia]] learned about this information.  He answers, "A fishing boat off the coast of [[Enroth (nation)|Enroth]] found several messages sealed in bottles that told where he was. And it was signed by Sir [[Christian]] himself." "A MIRACLE!" you shout. The boy continues. "Here's the bad part. The pirates are using Sir [[Christian]] to kill off all of the other pirate sects so they can take over all of their towns and gather all the resources to attack [[Queen Catherine]]'s Military base just off of [[Enroth (nation)|Enroth]]. Do you know where this Sir [[Christian]] might be?"   "I'll deliver the message to him at once. Give me that scroll. Here. Take some gold pieces and some food.  It is too dangerous around here for you, boy. I will see to it that your bravery is commended. I thank you. Now go back how you came. Talk to no one. And please...be careful."  The boy shakes your hand and then runs off. You sit on the rock and take in the information you just heard. You feel happy and angry at the same time. Happy that [[Erathia]] knows where your fleet is and very angry for being used as a tool to attack your homeland.  You begin think out loud. "I must finish my quest as not to draw attention to me. Then I will desert this place. I will then go to [[Queen Catherine]]'s Military base to protect it. And then, finally, I'll get a free ride home...If I live."}}

"I wear mine proudly! You should to." You smile at him and take your badge. You look around in the town and notice that there is no sign of a tavern. A town full of pirates and no tavern? Strange.

If my records are right, and they generally are not, you are to...no, that quest is for later. Ah, here is yours.  You see those neighboring three islands? Our enemies are on those islands. You quest is to defeat them and take over their islands. If you succeed my assistant, [[Hogfling]], will await you aboard a ship to get you out of here and on your way home!"

We can never be too careful around here. And with the ID you'll get a discount on all drinks at the town tavern!"

[[Category: Campaign scenarios]]

== Trivia ==
* The Regna pirates in the campaign are represented by various factions, which, however, look rather like Erathians, barbarians and savages than the Regnans. Developers of [[Horn of the Abyss]] stated that somewhen in a future the original campaigns might be revamped, so the pirates in this campaign will be represented by [[Cove]] faction.
