Rediscover the legendary Dunbarrow Cove and the ancient pirate ship The Red Sabre [sic] [Do not change this to Black Flag. This misspelled word is how it appears in-game.].

Quests[]

For full quest details, see Dunbarrow Cove (Quest).

Centuries ago, a great battle took place in Anvil Bay. In the battle, the legendary pirate Torradan ap Dugal, the captain of the infamous Black Flag, was defeated by the first Count of Anvil. Rumors have been circulating of a hidden underground cavern beneath Castle Anvil. If the rumors are to be believed, then the final resting place of Captain Dugal and his ship have been uncovered. I should investigate these rumors as soon as possible.
