[Ironhawk]

Yes I did talk to Valentina got the reward but then no further quest. It just stopped there.

Here are the chapters of "Lore".

Chapter I: Who is Jolly Roger?
Chapter II: A Tale of Two Islands
Chapter III: Rise of the Privateer
Chapter IV: Curse of the Muertos Moon
Chapter V: From the Ashes - The New Port Royal Rises
Chapter VI: EITC - Plots & Rumors
Chapter VII: From the Ashes - A New Tortuga
Chapter VIII: Fiery Winds of Change

Assuming they would not have to redesign things at some point to get back to their original plans (or stall with certain events), the next story chapter would have been IV which is where the redesigns started taking place.

Some of these we have seen already. We have a new Tortuga and Port Royal. We had that time before the island were remade when all we heard were EITC rumors of The Black Guard. We had the Curse thing for while. Unless they build on the role events and these items this sounded like a great plan. It shows they had stuff planed. It brings hope to me. It makes me feel like they weren't winging it or making it up as they went.

We have seen all of those chapters so far. That is from the official site actually.

What I was trying to say is that the first 3 chapters were likely planned stages, with the next story quest to be chapter 4.

Instead because they had to strip the game to get it online quickly, we ended up with events, which may have been planned for chapter 5 for example... Curse of the Muertos Moon, and then chapters representing the rebuild of the Caribbean getting them back on track to the original plan (like putting everything back in they had to strip out at the start).

Will be interesting to see what number they assign the next story quest chapter in the game, chapter 2? 10? 11? (I suspect Chapter 9 will be the new caves... and/or the Casa Muertos Guild)

Great screen shots...Shame the quest was deleted before a pirate could finish it...but ya never know what the future may have in store...

[Jack I]

Aye, was a shame indeed they took it out, would have been nice to let us play it. However if I remember correctly you couldn't get past talking to Valentina, that was where the quest ended.

Also, I though I'd share the audio file for the cutscene.

[Captain Whale]

This certainly does look interesting. Thx for posting this Ironhawk. I can't wait for the new content.

[Midhav]

if this comes back to us then even if the Kraken Bb comes the new story could be bout every side fighting for the artifact including Davy Jones and end with you ultimately getting it and kraken unleashed

[Jolly Roger]

Too bad it didnt make it back into the game then my friends would start playing again.

[Captain Del]

I've got, SO much money on the fact this is quest is going to come back as the next Story Chapter. With all the Invasions, the reason Roger is invading the islands keeps changing. With Port Royal, it was the Mansion. With Tortuga, it was with Jack. Now, I wonder what will be on Padres? I don't know, maybe.... the Headstone! Remember a really really long time ago, Disney said that Roger was searching for a "jewel" of some sort? *points frantically to the OP* That jewel has to be the HeadSTONE (get it? Jewel = Precious Stone = "Precious" Stone = Headstone!) And now, back to the Invasions; WHY is Roger trying to destroy the defenses of Padres? Is he trying to get to somebody on Padres? Jack, maybe? Or maybe the person who knows where the Headstone is, Valentina. Lets face it, in the direction the story line is going, the next story quest will NOT be about the Kraken, as it is focusing on Roger. I don't know, it still remains a puzzle. But if you apply the pieces to the Headstone, the pieces fit pretty darn well!

[Captain Whale]

Innocent John Mopses said there were weapon caches on PDF and that is what Jolly was going after. I figured that would lead into the new weapon quests. I guess we will have to wait and see. PDF invasions should be coming to Live soon.

Also Captain Rott stole the gold cutlass that John Moses found on his farm.

This was all revealed in the "Reunion" GM events.

Be interesting to see how this turns out as Captain Rott now works for Jolly Roger, but was he working on his own back then or did the weapon go to Jolly. Rott had also mentioned that Jolly was working on a magical Cannon - could the new Powder Keg Runners be that cannon? These guys are sappers meant to take down the barricade and probably the Walls of PDF's town. That is the target of the PDF invasions.

[Dockwrecker The Privateer]

Well,there is an interesting idea that Rott worked for Davy Jones.I for one am going with that.

Plus, I've formulated an idea:
In the Eerie Sightings in the Misty Mire, someone posted a quote from Captain Walter about the Golden Aztec Cutlass (or whatever its name is, but if you don't know what I'm talking about, read the thread). The important thing I think he said was the following:

Well, isn't it obvious? This is the missing link! Captain Rott was working for Davy Jones! Davy returns to create a second chapter.

Well, there's a theory for ya. Got as many holes in it as - not gonna start that rant...

This was what someone said in a poll I posted.
The cutlass may return, and be linked to the Headstone, coming with the new weapons we saw in the mentioned thread.
DTP, I think this is where that idea originated.

[Dockwrecker The Privateer]

Yes ,Seafury.You have a thing for digging up posts lately,good one.I myself aren't so sure the new weapons are with the Headstone though,I think that was presumed to be coming with the new Loot and Inventory.

[Angel Seafish]

I'm glad they had actually planned it a long time ago. I wonder if this will be the next one?

Hmmm.... I think the cannon part is strange, and the Keg Runners could not account for it. But, in a recent meeting in L.A, they announced some sort of cannon defenses for the islands. If this has something to do with the Invasions i'm up for it. The cannons would be to attack JR's ship as he fires Fury Thunder and Round sots. The action will be cool. Probably after the PDF invasion, we'll be seeing the Invasions probably thrice in a month or something? But I wish they would stop the PR invasion part because it intermingles too much with the story of Pirates of the Caribbean films...
