The Battery

Formerly called The Battalion's Refuge, The Battery is a group of islands found in the East that specializes in service-based trading. The place was founded by runaway soldiers from The Red Kingdom and their families-- hence its old name-- starting new lives by becoming traders and merchants to passing sailors and other vessels. From shipwrights, to doctors, to teachers-- The Battery has plenty of skilled workers that you could hire and recruit.
The Red Kingdom

The Red Kingdom Isles (or commonly just referred to as The Red Kingdom), is one of the most wealthy and powerful kingdoms within the seven seas. Despite its violent history, the current Red King, his majesty, upon his rise to the throne-- has built a strong alliance with her highness, The Queen of The Gilded Empire. With the New Red King in power, The Red Kingdom has recently opened a trading route that welcomes all Gilded Empire traders and others alike-- and has assured our safety within their lands and their waters.
Blue Islands

The Blue Islands (or most commonly referred to as Azure Bay), is a group of islands located at the heart of the sea. It's been an open country ever since the reign of King Julien II in The Gilded Empire, and has declared itself as a free nation from that point forward. With community-elected leaders every second leap year, The Blue Islands are considered to be one of the richest lands despite being an open social-constructivist country, due to its geography being in the centre of all trading routes.
Withered Islands

Neither here, nor there, The Withered Islands is still considered as a mysterious place that is rumoured to be located somewhere in the Red Sea. Sailors and voyagers that left for the island have been reported as missing, lost at sea, or have been declared dead.A rumoured survivor has reported to have seen a Siren's cove and even the Kraken's lair, but up to date, there has been no evidence that prove the existence of this person, and the tale remains a rumour. Expeditions that aim to sail for the Withered Islands are required to have the blessing of The Queen of The Gilded Empire and documents that give permission to travel, with a waiver each signed by the expedition's crew.(Please see Captain R. Jackson for more inquiries.)
The Blackstone Islands

The Blackstone Islands territory-- located in the South-- is still unexplored; and up to date, we have no information about the islands and its inhabitants.(Please see the "Ships" section for more information about The Blackstone Expedition.)(Please check the bounty board for the list of missing people from The Gilded Empire.)
