Isla Escondida
**Summary (under 1000 characters):** Isla Escondida is a remote, cliff-ringed island hidden in the Caribbean, with a single crescent-shaped white sand beach housing a modest village and the dock for the HMS Valiant. Inland, a dense, wild jungle conceals a towering star-fort at the island’s peak—home and base of operations for Captain Briggs, Elizabeth Rid, and their inner circle. Cannons guard its overgrown stone walls, while a serene lagoon and waterfall lie hidden deep in the jungle. An abandoned Portuguese sugar mill, overrun by nature, holds potential for future reactivation. The island is a secluded stronghold—part haven, part fortress—for those bold enough to claim it.

Kingston is the heart of British colonial rule in Jamaica, a thriving port city bustling with activity. Its streets are lined with Georgian buildings, while the harbor is full of British ships unloading goods from around the empire.

Le Cap
Le Cap is a significant French settlement on Saint-Domingue, home to both the colonial elite and the thriving sugar trade. The town is a mix of European elegance and Caribbean intensity, with beautiful houses, shops, and fortresses perched on the coast. The port is the lifeblood of the settlement, bringing in goods from across the Atlantic.

The streets are filled with both French colonists and enslaved peoples, and the constant presence of French soldiers maintains a tenuous peace amidst the growing discontent.
Nassau
Nassau is the haven of the lawless, a pirate republic in all but name. The British flag hangs limp over a fort too lazy to enforce it. Here, gold has no master and allegiance is bought by the bottle. Pirates and privateers drink beside merchants and deserters, all seeking a slice of freedom—or fortune. With shallow harbors perfect for fast ships, Nassau thrives in chaos, ruled only by the coin, the cutlass, and the unspoken code of the Brethren.
Oranjestad
They call it “The Golden Rock.” Oranjestad is small but mighty—a free port where money talks louder than flags. Under the watchful eyes of Dutch officials, traders from every empire do business here, turning a blind eye to allegiances and embargoes. Powder, muskets, and sugar change hands by the hour. It is the secret lifeline of rebellion and profit alike. The fort watches silently, but the real power here lies in the ledgers and ledgers alone.

The marketplace is alive with activity, selling everything from luxury items to local produce.

Saint-Pierre
Saint-Pierre is the Paris of the Antilles—wealthy, refined, and thriving under the banner of France. Situated at the base of a looming volcano, the city sparkles with culture, trade, and ambition. Coffee houses, theaters, and fine boutiques line the well-planned streets, while the harbor bustles with ships hauling sugar, rum, and tobacco to France. French aristocrats sip wine on terraces as slaves toil in the sun, carting goods from plantation to port. The city boasts schools, churches, and even a theater, attracting merchants, artists, and adventurers from across the empire.

San Juan
San Juan is Spain’s fortified gateway to the Caribbean—a proud, gleaming stronghold carved into stone and sun. Its walls are thick, its cannons ever-ready, and its loyalty to the crown unshaken. Behind its bastions lies a city of elegance and order, where governors hold court and the Church rings its bells over the surf. Yet for all its civility, San Juan breathes the salt and powder of empire—watchful, resilient, and built to endure siege, storm, or time itself.
Santiago de Cuba
Santiago de Cuba is the eastern sentinel of New Spain, a city of heat, gold, and history. Founded among rugged hills and tropical heat, it is both a cultural jewel and a military bulwark. The harbor, guarded by Morro Castle, welcomes ships from across the empire—some heavy with treasure, others laden with soldiers or slaves. The streets carry the scent of spice, salt, and rum, echoing with sermons, drums, and gunfire alike. A city of saints and sinners, proud and worn, it watches the sea like an old lion.

The Caribbean
A crucible of ambition and salt air, where empires clash and fortunes rise with the tide. The islands teem with sugar plantations, slave ships, and smuggler coves. Spanish galleons patrol the deep, English and French colonies bristle with cannons, and pirates carve their names into history with gunpowder and steel. To some, it's the edge of civilization. To others, it's the very heart of freedom—or damnation.
Tortuga
Tortuga is the bleeding heart of the pirate world—wild, French-claimed, and barely tethered to law. Its name is spoken with equal parts dread and longing. The cliffs are steep, the defenses thin, but its chaos is protection enough. Every pirate worth their salt passes through, seeking rum, arms, or a place to vanish. French governors pretend to rule, but everyone knows Tortuga bows to the strongest crew and the boldest captain. It’s freedom, with a price paid in blood.
Willemstad
Willemstad is the crown jewel of the Dutch West Indies—a haven of commerce, order, and maritime might.

Despite its wealth and civility, a quiet tension lingers—the hum of power balanced on the edge of rebellion.
