RP: Port Royal
[ ]Port Royal Harbor
A quay at the edge of comfortably populated sea side community. It is a trading hub, and frequented by honest sailors and pirates alike. With a base of Navy operations overlooking it, however, criminal activity is low. Ships of all kinds can be moored at the harbor... for a small fee.
00
[ ]Port Royal Jail
The half-pin barrel hinges of the thick metal doors have been replaced following the revelation that a bit of leverage could lift the doors free. The keys have been replaced after the guard dog that kept constant vigilance over the ring ran off.
00
[ ]Fort Charles
A fortified naval base that stands guard over the port. It is heavily armed with long range canons and equipped with enough gongs and alarms to not only raise the city in time of crisis, but perhaps the dead with them. Here officers of the Royal Navy are stationed and housed.
00
[ ]Governor Swann's Mansion
The humble dwelling of the Governor of Port Royal, Weatherby Swann. Following his untimely death and his daughters frequent journeys away, the estate has fallen primarily to the care of its staff.
00
[ ]Mr. Brown's Blacksmith Shop
A quaint weaponry store where William Turner was employed before his stint in piracy and subsequent 'promotion' to Captain of the Flying Dutchman. Here he forged some of the most beautiful swords the shop had ever seen, on top of practicing sword fighting for three hours every day.
00
RP: Tortuga
[ ]The Faithful Bride
A tavern in Tortuga. One of the most raucous and popular bars among the buccaneer populous, it is almost never closed, much to the chagrin of the owner. If a pirate needs to be found, this is the best place to start any search.

[ ]The Streets
The littered and dangerous streets of Tortuga. Shadowed despite the burning lamps, only the most stout of Tortuga locals make it a habit to walk these cobbled paths. Thieves and far more malicious creatures prowl the city, night and day, just waiting for their next victim to wander witlessly by.

in Last one standing
[ ]Docks of Tortuga
Leaving a ship, particular a small vessel such as a sloop or even a dinghy, is not the brightest of ideas. A city based on less than legal trade and similar dealings, there are no questions asked when it comes to previous ownership of wares: including ships.

RP: The Five Deaths
[ ]Isla de Muerta
One of the five cursed islands. During the ten years of her curse, the Black Pearl made berth at this island, which was a place none could find unless they already knew where it was. It was witnessed to have sunken into the sea once the Gold of Cortez was removed from its caverns, yet there are rumblings that it has somehow relocated, though; no one knows where, and thus it cannot be found.
00
[ ]Isla de Sorna
The largest of the five legendary islands, it lacks coasts and sandbars: the high cliffs of its edges topped from one end of the island to the other in thick tropical rainforest vegetation. Because it has no place for ships to beach, it is rarely visited. What waits beyond the high, mountainous walls that surround it is as mysterious as the black smoke that clouds above it.
00
[ ]Isla de Mataceros
As Isla de Muerta was to the Black Pearl, Isla de Mataceros is for the Revenge. The newest bearers of the ancient Aztec Curse use this twisted, lifeless island for their landing place, storing their plunder inside a grand, yet decaying mansion located near the islands center. There is only one path to the only beach on the island, and it is through a treacherous waterway surrounded by jagged rocks. Yet it is not the whirlpools, swift water or jutting escarpments that are the greatest threats to sailors. Here, among the ruins of hundreds of vessels, dwell the fantastical Sirens.
00
[ ]Isla de Pena
The most serene of the islands of the Five Deaths, Isla de Pena is deceptively beautiful. A paradise of crystalline waters and bountiful foliage, even the sand of its beaches is lush and rich. Here lives a community of charming folk, odd and welcoming. They are a mischievous lot, yet their playful attitudes often entice wayward sailors to land on their island. Never setting foot upon ship nor swimming beyond the shoals of their island, this village is isolated from the world. For that, the world does not realize how lucky it is.
00
[ ]Isla de Tacaņo
An old map discovered by an Admiral in the Royal Navy led to the discovery of this island. Seizing the opportunity presented by such an isolated, and enchanted, island, the corrupt official directed a Jail be built. It dwarfs the Turkish jail ten fold, its cruel walls capable of holding two thousand vagabonds. The place is fit to house the devil, the damnation within the fortified, monstrous building rivaling any hell imaginable. The air directly surrounding the island is thick with screams at all times, though, they are unable to penetrate the thick fog that oozes from the island.

in Smoke on the Water
RP: Davy Jones' Locker
[ ]The Frozen Ocean
Oceanic waters of the bitterest cold, punctuated by murderous icebergs and rifts. A thin layer of ice hangs in the air, clinging to any thing that passes through with a freezing white grip. The waters are peaceful and quiet, proving that the most dangerous of weather is not always violent.
00
[ ]Passage of the Stars
A deceptively serene waterway on the path to Davy Jones' Locker as described by the navigation charts from Singapore. The water reflects the black sky and brilliant, copious stars so flawlessly it is difficult to tell where the ocean ends and the celestial blanket begins. The horizon is all but invisible, making following a heading difficult.
00
[ ]The Edge
The edge of the world, where only the lost fall to the other side. At the end of a peaceful journey under a canopy of stars awaits this harrowing fall, from where none but those aboard the Black Pearl have ever returned.
00
[ ]The Locker
The purgatory that Davy Jones uses for those indentured to his service, if they are not on his crew. Here they are sent to serve the terms of their dept. It is a place borne of individual nightmares and fears, and no one is free of its damning power.
00
[ ]Sea of Lost Souls
The infinite waters surrounding the Locker. It is the only way out, and none but one crew has ever escaped. These waters are haunted by the souls of those that died at sea, wandering endlessly as their shepard, Davy Jones, forsakes his duty to them.
00
RP: Shipwreck Cove
[ ]The Devil's Throat
The entrance to Shipwreck Cove. It is a treacherous opening on one side of the mountainous isle, where many ships are destroyed as they try to navigate their way around jutting rocks and other, more sinister dangers.
00
[ ]Shipwreck Island
The island in which Shipwreck Cove is nestled. It is a rampart of an isle, with high, fortified walls and devilish waters surrounding. Well stocked and quite comfortable, it can survive blockades and sieges effortlessly.
00
[ ]The Town of Shipwreck
Being unimaginative in naming things, pirates call the town that sits at the center of Shipwreck Cove the Town of Shipwreck. It is a massive, intricate citadel sewn from the corpses of ships.
00
[ ]Chamber of the Brethren Court
A vest, cluttered room where the Nine Pirate Lords and members of their crews met during the Fourth Brethren Court. There is a large globe near the entrance to the room, where each Pirate Lord stabbed their sword in accordance to the peaceful intention of the meeting.
00
RP: Pantano Bayou
[ ]Pantano Swamp
A thick and unsavory quagmire. The ground is so soft it is near impossible to trek through, those that attempt it often losing their boots to the gripping mud. The air is heavy and acrid, difficult to breath yet disgustingly easy to taste. Disease laden mosquitoes and strangely captivating fireflies make up most of the wild life in this all but uninhabitable bog.
00
[ ]Pantano River
the muddy waters of this river are thick and difficult to move through. It is as if there are hands lurking in the depths of the almost opaque flow, desperately seeking to stop the small boats that travel this path from their goal. If it is in warning or in threat it is difficult to discern.
00
[ ]Tia Dalma's Shack
The strange abode of Tia Dalma, the body in which the Goddess Calypso was bound. Her home is suspended above the enchanted bog that surrounds it, and it is filled with a large collection of seemingly random, mystical and altogether sinister paraphernalia.
00
RP: The Islands
[ ]Black Sam's Spit
This God forsaken spit of land was once used as a storage island for rum runners, but has long since been abandoned. Barbossa marooned Jack twice on this small island, once alone and once with Elizabeth.
00
[ ]Pelegosto
A wild island of cavernous terrain. Thick with forest, many pirates get lost within the thick brush while searching for food and water. If they do not find themselves falling to their deaths from one of the islands many sudden cliffs, they often wish for it when the native inhabitants invite them to dinner.
00
[ ]The Cannibal Village
Located across a number of bridged cliffs, the cannibal village is home to a tribe of voracious natives with a taste for human flesh. Their homes and even clothes adorn with the bones of those they have devoured, the cannibals of Pelegosto are well adapted to catching meals within their jungled domain.
00
[ ]Isla Cruces
An abandoned tropical island chosen by Davy Jones as the place where he buried the Dead Man's Chest, and with it his heart. It is rumored to have once been an island that fell to the plague, its inhabitants wiped out and the land deemed unfit for renewed settlement. Old ruins and decaying stone buildings paint an eerie scene of halted life.
00
RP: Other Lands
[ ]Singapore
A dark and rustic place, Singapore is the epitome of sin and vice. Pleasurable company and raucous gambling are common diversions. The city is a web of bridges and light wooden buildings suspended over a waterway. Here Sao Feng and his crew orchestrated their piratical business.
00
[ ]Sao Feng's Bath House
The central hub of pirate activity in Singapore, the bath house of Sao Feng was a place for devious relaxation and lucrative business deals. It was raided by the Royal Navy, at the order of Cutler Beckett under the East India Trading Company.
00
[ ]Turkish Prison
A cruel jail for criminals, mostly pirate, the Turkish jail was rumored to hold within it's walls the key to the Dead Man's Chest. In reality, it had but a drawing of the key. It has been taken over by the Royal Navy and acts as one of it's largest and more inhumane jails for pirates.
