Pirates

Pirates, the scum and bane of sea travel. These robbers at sea travel in frigates loaded with cannons to cripple other ships, before entering them. At land, Pirates also hold considerable fighting power in their hands. These people have nothing to lose, and all to win, so no one can expect mercy from them. However, should the Pirates be fend off, in their ships or in their bases wait fine treasure.

Pirates are found on their ships at sea, or near the coast. Buccaneer's Den is also known for being their base.

Notable examples

 * The most notorious Pirate ever encountered in the series is without doubt Hook in Ultima VII. As the Fellowship's executioner, a number of horrible murders (at least 14 according to the High Court), like the one at the beginning, go on his account. He finds his end in the battle at The Black Gate.


 * A large portion of Ultima VI was taken locating the Treasure Map of Hawkins. This map led the Avatar in locating the pirate treasure, which included the Silver Tablet. The tablet was required to translate the Book of Prophecies. Along the way, the Avatar encountered several pirates of the time, including Alastor Gordon, Heftimus McPry, Bonn, Nathaniel Moorhead, Morchella, Ol' Hawknose, Old Ybarra, Sandy and Homer.


 * In Ultima V, the Pirate Lord Dalgrin was encountered on Buccaneer's Den. The pirate Sven could also be found there.


 * In Ultima VII, the pirates Blacktooth and Mole can be found on Buccaneer's Den.
