And just as the sea was a dangerous place for the inexperienced traveler, so too, apparently, are the skies of Eternal Arcadia , as the threat of attack from the notorious Black Sky Pirates looms large. The Sky Pirates in Eternal Arcadia are to the sky what the sea-bound pirates of yesteryear were to the sea. Sky pirates travel about through the sky, never settling down on any one particular island. The Black Sky Pirates are scum-buckets. They fly black skull flags raised high above their ships, and attack other sky-bound ships without discrimination, depriving passengers of riches, and even their lives.
Merchant ships are their favorite target.
The Blue Sky Pirates, on the other hand, fly the blue skull flag high above their ships, and won't attack unarmed vessels. They only seek out opposition in the form of ships stronger than their own, like warships, for instance. You could consider them a sort of chivalrous robber - you know, the kind that steals from the rich and gives to the poor. It seems that the Sky Pirates are set to play a large role in the story, as the game's two main characters, Vyse and Aika, are of the blue breed. Vyse is the main male lead, a boy borne of the Dyne Family of Blue Sky Pirates.
