PORT BALDMOR (TRAMMEL), PAXLAIR - January 16, 2007

Residents and visitors reported terror in the waters and on the beaches during Port Baldmor's 1st Anniversary celebration on January 16, 2007.  Even more monsters came from the woods on Bald Isle as some treasure seekers dug up chests.  The sand on the beach also devoured furniture and at times trapped people as they drank ale.

Many pirate ships and other seafaring vessels answered the call to Port Baldmor's shores.  All engaged in combat with monsters of the deep.  No one could say for certain why these monsters were particularly interested in Port Baldmor.  One pirate said "Arr Matey, they come out of the watery depths to scare us off our isle! Instead, we kill 'em and make some crawl out on da plank!"

Leviathons also dared to attack the beach.  They were quickly turned into crustacean goo.

The partying and revelry continued on the isle for many hours into the evening.  Visitors from far off places such as Guardians Gate arrived by ship or magical means.

Port Baldmor celebrated one year of its official existence as a pirate city.  During that year, Port Baldmor captured the attention of many people on the Shard.  The resident pirates of DAGR and other guilds continue to dominate the south seas, finding ships and shorelines to pillage and plunder.  There is also confirmation that the pirates are campaigning in other areas of the Shard to expand their influence and wealth.  All will need to watch the progress of the pirates over the next year, and mark this day as the Day of the Pirate.
