Arr yar ‘ay be ye’ning to be learned the origins o’ tis pirate’s
haven but not much is known of how the place got started. Perhaps it be
best to start with some folk lore of the isle...
It is said that about a few hundred years ago this pirate island ran
red with the blood of fleeing pirates from a contingent of the infamous
pirate Kidd Holley. Seeking refuge from the slaughter of the vengeful
Royal Navy off the shores of Buccaneers Den the remaining fleet of
pirates managed to crash land on Bald Island.
Tired and worn they thought the worst be over. Sadly mistaken, the
Royal Navy tracked this raggedy band of pirates to Bald Island were
they finished the last of Holley’s famous Crew. The pirate’s bodies
laid mutilated on the beach when the Royal Navy was done. It is rumored
that the serpents and alligators grew so big because they drank and ate
the remains of the pirate’s vengeance-filled hearts.
Then about November 2005 a new band of pirates claimed this island... the Red Dagger Pirates.
One of the first and longest standing structures on the island as
far as can be remembered was the Blue Fish Inn. There, any who visited
the island could spend a cool pleasant night by the sea shore window
listening to the rolling waves in the comfort of a warm bed. The Inn
Keeper Milene was one of the first to join the Red Dagger ranks and
thus lay a claim to the island that laid so desolate.
Soon after, Buds constructed our island renowned Tavern the Soggy
Barnicles. Here you could find anything from simple to exquisite to
rare bottles of drink compliments of our sea-fairing merchants. Not
only was the drink good, but the company as well (if you are a pirate
enthusiast hehehe), and could find gossip on treasure, incoming
shipments and other adventures if you had the ear or stomach for such a
thing.
Many other buildings on the island have come and gone but not many
stay too long. This is probably due to the small availability of land.
The houses on the island are small in comparison to the main lands and
other islands and don’t attract too many home owners. To us though its
home, its haven, it’s a port of our own. Hopefully with the arrival of
more pirates these plots of land could be established for good and join
the history of the Red Dagger Pirates and Port Baldmor.
All claimed house property on the island has been and are still in
the possession of the Red Daggers and we plan to keep our Port for many
years to come no matter how many buildings rise or fall.
The Port of Baldmor was made official on the 16th of January 2006 as
a pirate-run town headed by Kerrs Holley. With gaining appraisal from
the community things really started moving forward. Eventually us
pirate became good friends with the PaxLair community and joined their
umbrella of player ran towns. On the 28th of March the first
paxlair-wide meeting was held on the beaches of Port Baldmor in the
eve. Many good things have happened since then and will hopefully
continue to do so as we push forward looking for new unclaimed waters
to conquer.
