The Pirate Stronghold overlooks the town of Harecksburg on the central island. It must be explored to partially complete the quest to Sink the Regnan Fleet.

Chests in this dungeon require Level 7 Master Disarm Trap to open safely.

The following numbered areas correspond to the numbers on the map.

1. Entrance[]

As soon as the party enters the building, they will be attacked by a group of Regnan crossbowmen, Regnan pirates, and Regnan brigadiers. At the top of the stairs are two elevators ("A" on the map). The one on the left (as you look at the map) leads to the Left Vestibule (2 on the map), and the one on the right leads to the Right Vestibule (5 on the map).

2. Left Vestibule[]

Whether the party enters here from the elevator or the conference room corridor, they will be immeditely attacked by some more Regnan pirates, Regnan brigadiers, and some Regnan bandits.

3. Commander's Quarters[]

The Commander's Quarters consists of three rooms: a conference/dining area, a bunk room, and a storage room ("C" on the map). Regnan bandits, Regnan lieutenants, Soldiers of fortune, Mercenaries, and Mercenary captains are on guard in this area. A trapped treasure chest sits on the floor of the bunk room ("B" on the map), and contains gold and some mid-level armor and/or weapons. Similar items can be found scattered around on the floor of the storage room.

4. Conference Room[]

This private conference room is really only a widening of a narrow corridor. Guarding it from both directions are more Regnan bandits, Regnan pirates, and/or Regnan brigadiers.

5. Right Vestibule[]

Whether the party enters here from the elevator or the conference room corridor, they will be immediately attacked by some more Regnan crossbowmen and Regnan lieutenants.

6. Crew Quarters[]

The Crew Quarters consists of two rooms: a mess hall and a bunk room. In the mess hall are one or more attribute barrels. The bunk room contains three trapped chests of drawers that contain gold and some mid-level armor and/or weapons. Patrolling this area are more Regnan bandits, Regnan pirates, Regnan crossbowmen, Soldiers of fortune, and/or Mercenaries.

7. Lower Level[]

The Lower Level, accessible from the Right Vestibule, consists of three corridors. Two are dead ends; however at the end of one of these two is a trapped treasure chest sunken into the floor ("D" on the map), that contains gold and some mid-level armor and/or weapons. The third corridor, which is opposite the two dead-end ones, terminates in a secret door. Clicking on the door will open it, revealing a cavern tunnel. If the party takes this tunnel back to its end, they will find it connects with the Passage under Regna.
