Umbra is a well-written and keen chronicler of legends who have been dragged back to the Sea of Thieves. She set up camp at Lagoon of Whispers with the intention of documenting the weird and wonderful people who live here.

Umbra is a well-written and keen chronicler of legends who have been dragged back to the Sea of Thieves.

Sea of Thieves Interactive World Map with the location and description of NPCs.

These tankards bear the names 'Abstractacas' and 'Paladin Topaz', friends who loved to share a drink and a chat. They became famed for announcing news and rumours about the Sea of Thieves for all pirates to hear.

Two talkative pirates left their tankards on an Outpost made of golden sand, a perfect spot to chat.

Met me son Derrick for the first time! Well, he says he's me son. Hw can I deny it wiv a handsome mug like that?

They say that where Merrick once camped on Shark Bait Cove, his son now displays a portrait.

Captain Jaq was a very popular pirate, a lady with the gift of charisma and a penchant for friendly discourse. According to notes of concern collected by Umbra, Jaq took a small hiatus from the seas and her friends missed her terribly.

Near the central rock of Lone Cove, a poster remains for a missing pirate.

This model ship, 'The Allegiant', was lovingly crafted in fine detail by Chocmocjoo, to celebrate a year of smooth sailing. Delivered with the help of a community of pirates, this gift is for everyone on the Sea of Thieves.

At The Finest Trading Post is a fine work of craftswomanship.

Legend has it that The Aaron Leigh minted his own coins as a tribute to the architects of the seas. He sailed across the world to hand-deliver them, though one somehow ended up here.

On Cannon Cove, a pirate once thought outside the barrel when it came to making money.

Pirate KaidaWrath and their crew became famous for defeating a Skeleton Fort… using not guns, but 100 baskets of angry snakes! That battle must have been a sight to behold. It just goes to show that being a pirate is about more than your weapons.

They say that Shark Fin Camp was once defeated by very unusual means.

Merrick has left behind a journal… Before I retire, I wanted to write one last shanty, inspired by some words I heard being bellowed from me speaking trumpets. This one definitely won't summon any man-eating sea monsters. In fact, I promise to never cause so much trouble again: We're no strangers, to this cove… You know the pirate code and so do I! A pile of treasure's what I'm thinking of… You wouldn't get this from any other pi…rate! Never gonna brig you up, Never gonna let you down, Never gonna sail around, And maroon you! Never gonna steal your eye, Never gonna not say 'aye'! Never gonna sell your booty, For a doubloon! …it's a work in progress. I think I'll let me fellow pirates fill in the gaps. My son Derrick seems to think it's hilarious. He suggested the title 'Merrick Rolled'. I don't get it.

Rumours speak of an odd book left at The Reaper's Hideout… could be a dangerous campsite to visit.

This list of noteworthy Gold Hoarders was made in the early days to 'honour' the greediest pirates around. Umbra has been seeking it for some time.

In Lost Gold Fort in The Ancient Isles, a list honours the greediest of pirates…

Upon the Sea of Thieves, many stories have been told, Of ancient creatures, hoards of gold and of pirates great and bold. But the tales that matter most, at least that is to me, are the ones of love and laughter, and friendship on the sea. Cap'n "Scruffy" Beardstroker.

A poetic pirate left a scruffy book inside a cave at Shark Bait Cove, beside a shrine.

LatchedGlue is famous for her stunning portraits, ideal for decorating a captain's cabin. She knows how to capture someone's swashbuckling side! The portraits here are labelled to be delivered to HealpleaseHeal, T.Skunk and Evulmonkey.

On Sailor's Bounty, a set of portraits by a talented pirate await delivery.

The flag of triheadedmonkey, who would always call out pirates for breaking the Pirate Code. Nobody got away with shenanigans on his watch!

The flag of a very watchful pirate stands to this day on Sanctuary Outpost.

According to Umbra's notes, Daimyo DoriMa loved nothing more than to list all the things that could be improved around the Sea of Thieves. Maybe a salty pirate took exception to their critique?!

Over at Golden Sands, Umbra heard of a pirate who loved to write down their thoughts.

A pirate named Cacci left their mark below this perfect bullseye. Some say they could hit a skeleton right in the eye socket, from the next island over!

The weaponsmith's shop on Galleon's Grave boasts a famous patron.

Freakydusty's personal banana barrel, always packed with yellow ambrosia. They became famous for holding their bananas like gold.

World tells of an unusual barrel on Sanctuary Outpost, near the water tower.

This painting captured four of the fanciest pirates ever to sail the Sea of Thieves. They loved dressing up at gatherings of likeminded sailors.

In the tavern at Ancient Spire Outpost, there is a painting of four very fancy pirates.

Carson Iz Pro was engraved on this bucked by their grateful crew, after bailing enough water to fill two ships!

Sanctuary Outpost honours a tireless worker, according to Umbra's rumours.

o COMM4NDO o is carved into this bullet-ridden wall. Not so many bullets hit the target underneath, though. Practise makes a perfect pirate!

A pirate with dubious aim left an unmarked target atop Smuggler's Bay.

Capta1n Cr0ss and his fellow pirate pioneers never received these important letters. Clearly, the Sea of Thieves is in dire need of a postal service.

Rumour says that there's a lot of undelivered mail left in some rubble on Sanctuary Outpost.

~Taydoge Swift~
This pirate was famous for much jokes and witty asides. Wow.

There is a hidden camp on Mermaid's Hideaway, make by a popular pirate.

The mark of The Crow's Nest, run by Captain Jay - a pirate who shouted their stories for all to hear. They practically turned this fort into an amphitheatre.

High as a crow's nest, at Crow's Nest Fortress…

This rare thief leapt from the crow's nest perhaps one time too many. According to Umbra's notes, these are the remains of IOnEI-Falcon, who would famously leap from the crow's nest to take a shortcut to the Ferry. In those days, before people knew how healthy bananas were, he realised it was a roundabout way to feel ship-shape again.

On Shipwreck Bay, they say a pirate's bones can be found beside a legendary shipwreck.

~Wanted - Musicmee - for saying 'pew! pew!' every time they shot their pistol.~
This poster doesn't appear to be official - it looks like the pirate drew it up themselves. Maybe they made several, to confuse any bounty hunters?

Dagger Tooth is known for deadly criminals, as a poster on the water tower suggests.

A plaque reading 'LindsayElyse Mind Your Head' was fixed here. She didn't like taking the stairs and found a cannon more her style! The Tavern keeper decided to put this reminder up, in case LindsayElyse had already started drinking before climbing into the cannon.

This pirate with panache was always first through the tavern door, thanks to her stunning aim.

This basket belongs to Tartansnake, a pirate who continues to help many others - when he isn't too busy talking about snakes. Often, he just does both at the same time.

That snake basket belongs to a true lover of serpentkind.

Fizzy Foxy was one of the deadliest pirates in the earliest days of the Sea of Thieves. They sent many souls to the Ferryman without mercy until this poster was hastily drawn up to warn everyone.

Have a drink in the tavern at Dagger Tooth and you're sure to learn of this deadly pirate.

~Wanted - DuMy2008 - For… Positive Contributions~
As Umbra suspected, this pirate was clearly beloved in his community. Maybe this really is a Sea of Friends…

A popular pirate took refuge on an island in the Shores of Plenty, up on a cliff side.

The pirate Griffin was famed for his love of whole bananas, skin and all, which really caught on among pirates… Unfortunately, he cronched his last on this very spot.

This pirate lost their way on the beach of Marauder's Arch, and tried to survive on just bananas…

Once Deadsniper discovered that they could fire themselves out of a cannon, they couldn't stop! After firing themselves from a cannon more times than anyone else, they finally landed here… a little crispy.

The remains of a ballistic buccaneer were left where they landed, high up on Plunder Outpost.

~KattTruewalker, KnightXIII, IOnEI-Falcon, Funic, TheAaronLeigh~
Umbra believes the five names scrathced here were among the first pirates to come to the Sea of Thieves - after the Pirate Lord's crew, of course.

Five names are scratched into a rock on Cannon Cove, found by walking inland from the dock.

~Pirate Legend Jackie's Boombox~
One of the first pirates to make a name for herself on the Seas, Umbra heard that Jackie took this barrel everywhere. That was perhaps a mistake, but nobody could convince her to leave behind her 'boombox'.

A pirate once made quite the bang over at Golden Sands, somewhere behind the shops…

Lesleyann was a true pirate legend, who delivered vital gifts to a friend in dire need. Knowing that her friend was suffering with poor health, she did all in her power to keep her in touch with the rest of the Sea of Thieves.

A parcel and hat on the dock at Galleon's Grave suggest that the Wilds may be civilised after all.

This pirate scratched their name - ArchAngel Aeon - into the rock. Judging by the fish bones, they swam a very long way to reach this shore.

They say a pirate met his fate on the shores of Mermaid's Hideaway.

On Mermaid's Hideaway, a popular pirate created a social spot overlooking the sea.

Signed simply 'Capain B.', this stunning artwork was created by a pirate with a true eye for beauty. Don't be surprised if they ask you to pose for a portrait!

Sanctuary Outpost is a beautiful place. Rumour has it the tavern hosts some legendary art.

Umbra heard rumours of a pirate called Clumsy George, who fought off a kraken with only a broom! At least, that's the story he told everyone. He told it so often, they named the tavern after him!

There must be a story behind this unusual tavern sign on Sanctuary Outpost.

~ZZ DE TOX ZZ DRINKING SPOT~
This pirate drank so much that the Sea of Thieves almost became a desert!

The cosy drinking spot of a pirate with an insatiable thirst became a permanent tavern fixture.

A Violin belonging to Freya Catherine, a pirate with a musical gift who taught her children to play Becalmed. Umbra's notes say that so many pirates cried, that they had start bailing all the tears!

A perfectly crafted and tuned violin was tucked away in Tim's Equipment Shoppe.

This book is about Duke's business and the arrival of the Emporium… signed by 'Umbra'.
I've come across strange activity by Duke. It seems he got much of his Black Market stock from these accursed Reaper's Chests. The things he couldn't use - piles of bones, mostly - he sold on as Rag and Bone Crates. Strange what people will do to make their way. These Pirate Emporium folks, for example. Once Gold Hoarders, now working for some outsider. But suck delightful pets they sell!

This book is about Duke's business and the arrival of the Emporium… signed by 'Umbra'.

The greedy pirate De4th Fire left their mark here. The hook and chest is fitting, as Umbra notes that this pirate stole a staggering number of chests when the Sea of Thieves was still young. In fact, you should go and sell any you're carrying right now. Just to be safe.

On Smuggler's Bay lived a pirate famed for his stolen hoard. He left a mark on the Southwest Beach.

~Join Zoream's Infamous Pirate Club~
Sounds like quite the club. Maybe they're still accepting new members?

This art depict the incredible moment when the bold Captain Ash Bacon and her crew harpooned their ship to a Megalodon. The chase was fast, epic and impressive - until the shark ditched Ash Bacon by running her Galleon aground and fleeing the scene!

On Salty Sands, a moment when shark triumphed over pirate was captured in art.

Xbox Addict may be an unusual pirate name, but this truly legendary swashbuckler reached a level of admiration and honour that few dream of. With help from Geordie Tommy, the two crafted this beautiful book to show off their talents. They say it once contained an incredible surprise.

On Smuggler's Bay, in a dark cave, a talented pair left one of their legendary creations.

You don't need Umbra to know the legend of Kato, the most beloved dog on the seas. Patting him on the head was sure to bring fortune to your voyages!

On Galleon's Grave, high up on the wreck, there lived a dog of legendary adorableness.

This crumpled doodle was drawn by a pirate's five-year-old son, mapping his favourite island. No doubt he will grow up to be a fine cartographer.

A young cartographer was known to hone their skills at a camp on Smuggler's Bay.

This package is part of a correspondence between caring pirates from different regions. Becoming friends despite living far apart, they sent this care package of confectionary - but the contents were scoffed long ago.

They say that an unusual merchant delivery ended up on the docks at Morrow's Peak.

There's a very old pirate out there with cat-like reflexes, known as SayHeyRocco. When you hear 'Meow Meow, Kiss Kiss', you know they were coming! When that pirate got hold of several chickens and the coloured lights of the Ferry, things got even stranger!

Rumour has it that a strange scene was painted on a large rock on Chicken Isle.

~Dread Pirate Doug~
This pirate had the bright idea of writing out all their skills and pirating history, to ensure they found gainful employment with future crews. It's a good job that the law doesn't come to the Sea of Thieves…

On Golden Sands, filling your crew is easy when the pirates advertise in the tavern.

An old salt by the name of Merrick accidentally summons a Megalodon known as 'The Hungering One' by way of a magical shanty. His crew and ship do not survive. Merrick subsequently recruits other pirates to go to the specific co-ordinates of T-27 whilst playing his enchanted shanty and defeat The Hungering One in his steed. (This Event originally ran from May 29th - June 13th 2018)

Sea of Thieves, Hungering Deep, Hungering One, Megalodon, Merrick

The first known appearance of Duke and the beginning of the Bilge Rat Adventures. 
Duke and his Bilge Rats build a series of Skeleton Thrones across the Sea of Thieves and challenged pirates to find and sit in them. 

Skeleton Thrones, Bilge Rats, Bilge Rats Adventures, Doubloons

Captain Ramsey and his crew of the Magpie's Wing make safe entrance through The Devil's Shroud and into the then unnamed and uncharted Sea of Thieves. His crew consisted of Rathbone, Mercia, and Shan. The island they spend their first night on is now known as Thieves Haven. (Reference; Sea of Thieves: Athena's Fortune, Chapter One)

This book is about the origins of the Warsmith… signed by 'Umbra'.
I met Salty - a genuine skeletal parrot! He was once a man, but was changed when creating cursed cannonballs from one of Flameheart's cannons. His partner in alchemy was the weaponsmith, Wanda, who forced him to take the brunt of the curse. But she did not escape unscathed. Flameheart's hatred fed her own, until she became the twisted skeleton captain, 'The Warsmith'. She waged a failed war on the Outposts.

This book is about the origins of the Warsmith… signed by 'Umbra'.

This book is about the appearance of the Fort of the Damned… signed by 'Umbra'.
Stitcher Jim believes that the appearance of the Fort of the Damned is the result of a ritual using the stolen Dark Relics. Pirates have found that the coloured Flames of Fate can be used to 'wake' the twisted Fort and repel the skeletons seeking to use it. But what's really going on? Such determination to get into our world… but are we stopping them or helping them by waking the Fort?!

This book is about the appearance of the Fort of the Damned… signed by 'Umbra'.

This book is about the hunting of Krakens… signed by 'Umbra'.
The fogs on the Sea of Thieves are heavy, but were especially bad during a certain year. They seemed to stir up the Krakens and sharks. Perhaps those creatures just saw a chance to prey on lost ships, but the tables soon turned as pirates realised something… Many Krakens and Megalodons eat up valuable loot from the ships they sink. Suddenly, hunting them for goodies became a tempting prospect!

This book is about the hunting of Krakens… signed by 'Umbra'.

Sea of Thieves Interactive World Map with the location and description of Journals from Umbra's chronicles.

This book is about the fate of the Forsaken Shores Alliance… signed by 'Umbra'.
When Grace Morrow and Stitcher Jim joined their crews to form The Forsaken Shores Alliance, they travelled to places few pirates had seen. They even reached The Devil's Roar thanks to the Shroudbreaker, but Stitcher Jim was secretly seeking power for his then-master, the Gold Hoarder. He betrayed and killed all of them but Captain Morrow, who survived her poisoning but was trapped in the Roar. A dark tale indeed.

This book is about the fate of the Forsaken Shores Alliance… signed by 'Umbra'.

This book is about the Festival of the Damned… signed by 'Umbra'.
This ways no easy spot to reach! During the Festival of the Damned, pirates would light these beacons with various coloured flames. How incredible that the Ferryman allowed access to the Flames of Fate, which change to reflect how a pirate dies. I'd like to learn more about them… but I'm not rushing to the Ferry of the Damned. What if I don't come back? A chilling prospect.

This book is about the Festival of the Damned… signed by 'Umbra'.

This book is about the theft of the Dark Relics… signed by 'Umbra'.
I have found some strange artefacts, which I believe to be what the Order of Souls calls 'Dark Relics'. Many of these arcane objects were stolen from them in an organised effort by the skeletons, though Duke was able to retrieve many. The Dark Relics were later used for terrible deeds, opening windows to other worlds and dispelling powerful curses!

This book is about the theft of the Dark Relics… signed by 'Umbra'.

This book is about the arrival of The Hungering One… signed by 'Umbra'.
After asking Merrick himself, deciphering his drunken journals and speaking to pirates who were there, I believe this is it. This is where they used Merrick's accidental enchanted shanty to summon forth the first Megalodon - The Hungering One! Those pirates avenged poor Merrick's crew, not to mention his legs. But now all of the ancient, deep sharks have awoken…

This book is about the arrival of The Hungering One… signed by 'Umbra'.

This book is about Duke selling gunpowder to the Trading Companies… signed by 'Umbra'.
The skeletons once began hoarding huge amount of gunpowder, known since as 'Black Powder Stashes'. The Trading Companies didn't like that, so Duke of the Bilge Rats saw a chance to make the seas safer while also making a lot of gold. It seems this was Duke's first step towards acquiring the connections and capital needed to launch the Black Market.

This book is about Duke selling gunpowder to the Trading Companies… signed by 'Umbra'.

Sea of Thieves Timeline

There was a time when the ancient people lived in this place now called the Sea of Thieves and mastered all kinds of knowledge.

The ancients worshipped things which have ruled there far longer than them. They learned to sail the sea undisturbed by making sacrifices and thanks to this knowledge they helped the merfolk several times. The ancients were greatly appreciated by the mer people. The latter used to uncover precious stones and gems in the very deepest parts of the ocean to bring them back to the meeting places as a gift. Some say that the ancients used these gems to master magic and protect the Sea of Thieves.

Now that the ancients are gone, the only things left of their precious knowledge are paintings and ruins, mere remains of their existence. There are whispers and legends from across the waves of sightings of something more dangerous to come. Will our cannonballs be enough to protect the Sea of Thieves?

A group of pirates decided to join forces to found a university, conduct research and uncover the knowledge of the ancients.

"Of all the unsolved mysteries that haunt my dreams, none are more tantalising than the long-lost people known to pirates as 'The Ancients'. Their legacy can be felt all across the Sea of Thieves, from ruins that lurk under deep waters to clifftop paintings…"  -  Ramsey Singh, Pirate Lord.
Here at the Ancient Isles University we are dedicated to understanding the history of the Sea of Thieves and its original inhabitants. Before we pirates came, a great people flourished and thrived here but now all the remains is remnants. What happened to them? How did they live? And what can we learn from them?
Not only this but our own pirate history has gone undocumented, and we wish to create a record of all our happenings.
Our history department focuses on Archaeology, Anthropology, and Lore.

Astronomy Team

All sailors rely on the stars to guide them safely, and there is plenty to be gleamed by the waxing and waning of the moon. Through our studies we have been able to identify the existence of eclipses, and our current project with astronomy is to build a more robust tracking system to accurately pinpoint the moments these eclipses happen.

Sea of Thieves is filled with mysterious weather phenomena: a dark mass of clouds with turbulent waves, an intense fog or lava rocks falling from the sky. Our research focuses on studying the behaviours of these entities and providing reliable weather forecasts.
