Deep in the woods lays a very special pool of water.  This pool of water is called the Black Depths.  The Black Depths is located twenty miles east of Disorder.  Disorder is a small town in the valley of Tortugas.  The Fish Pond is filled with magical waters from the Pirate infested waters around Tortuga's nautical city limits.  The city of Tortugas has been made famous since the nineteenth century due to the vast amount of pirates who has swarmed its Caribbean coast.  It has been said many times that one can smell the vapor of the cannons firing toward one another.  

Black Depths was the home to a famous pirate named Blackbeard.  Blackbeard's birth name was Edward Teach.  Edward Teach, Blackbeard, was born and raised on the South Indonesian islands in the southeast pacific.  Blackbeard rode the seas on a ship he named Queen Anne's Revenge.  Blackbeard was known for his passion and care for mankind.  Although he gained a large amount of stolen goods such as ships, gold, and pieces of eight, he was not the typical Tortugas pirate.

Blackbeard was said to be one of the kindest pirates on the sea.  Before making any decisions, he often asked his own crew for permission.  Documents show that Blackbeard did not harm a single hostage.  Instead, Blackbeard let each and every one go free without walking the plank.
