What to do
Description
Thar be just one thing... Yancey hears things. A few o' me hearties were pretty deep in their cups when they told me about some {race} {class} that came a-rollin' through the Southern Command lookin' for charts and orders. Even ran a couple o' good pirates through, he did. Like I said, they were up to their eyeballs in grog, but still... a buccaneer's gotta trust his ears. So I've just got one small task for ye, one sent down from Firallon hisself... Bring me the head of Fleet Master Seahorn.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Getting In With the Bloodsail
These plans are... interesting. Firallon, you're smarter than this! Look, he has all three ships devoted to cannon fire, and only a few men coming in through the tunnel. He can never take Booty Bay with three ships and a dozen footmen. And he knows that. No, they've got something else planned...
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Your First Day as a Pirate
Ye may be a slayer of Fleet Masters, but rules is rules and orders is orders. And MY orders say that all new pirates start out as swabbies. It's the rule. You're to be working for Captain Keelhaul, the commander of the Riptide.
