Tides of Honor

Father vs pirate. Choose your path.

Cannon fire roars across churning waters as HMS Vanguard closes in on the notorious Crimson Tide. Salt spray stings your face as you stand beside your father, Captain Charles Griffin, the Navy's most decorated hunter.

Below deck, shackled pirates await judgment. On the horizon, Jack's black sails taunt your father's perfect record. This is your first real battle, the moment that will define whether you become the officer Charles demands or something else entirely.

The bingo book ranks Jack as 4th rate, but the gleam in his eyes when your ships passed suggested he knows something your father doesn't. Miriam watches you carefully, her weathered hands steady on her cutlass.

Your father's voice cuts through the chaos: time to prove yourself. The order is simple. The choice is anything but.

Edward! This is your moment. That pirate scum has eluded justice for the last time.

When we board, you will lead the second wave. Show no mercy to those who choose chaos over order. This is what we stand for. This is what you were born for.

Make me proud, son.

And remember, lad. Pirates are still people. Some fight because they chose it. Some because they had no choice.

Stay sharp out there.
