== Questline ==
Bordeleaux is a dukedom with long-standing maritime traditions, the inhabitants of its long coastline having had a strong relationship with the ocean by virtue of drawing much of their livelihood and sustenance from it. But across the oceans of the Old World and beyond, trouble brews. Seaborne bandits ply the straits in their ships of war, preying on those folish enough to sail unsuitably prepared to defend their cargo from those with no qualms about taking it with deadly force. Sometimes it is not even wealth that the bloodthirsty pirates desire, with many murderous, Undead commanders simply hellbent on acquiring more dead bodies to raise into their zombie pirate crews.
The seafaring Bordelens are well-accustomed to having to deal with pirates, which is why Duke Alberic found it unusual that he was recently visited by several nobles from the coastal fiefdoms complaining that entire fishing fleets operating out of their estates had gone missing with increasing frequency. Renowned for his personal courage and astounding self-dicipline, the duke refuses to stand by and allow his peoples livelihood's to be put at risk without taking action.
There is no better place for Alberic to begin his expedition to cleanse the oceans than Sartosa, the City of Pirates, which lies to the south on the other side of the Estalian Peninsula. Though the infamous thief-ridden port is though to currently be under the control of the bloodthirsty sea captain Aranessa Saltspite, Alberic knows that the inherent backstabbing nature of pirates means that any number of belligirent enemies could be encountered there. He therefore scrambles his attendants to prepare for departure. Finally, he has a purpose - this may not be a Grail Quest, but it is still worthy of the aging duke's attention.
Objective: Capture Sartosa.
