Lying off the coast of the Posian Archipelago is a mysterious isle called the Ancient Ship Graveyard. Countless ships from times long forgotten lie here, some perfectly preserved and others as mere skeletons. Kept for millennia by some inexplicable force of nature, these ships have become part of the landscape of this isle. Sailors give the place a wide berth, for navigating the surrounding waters is perilous. Lurking beneath the surface, hidden shipwrecks promise to rip apart any vessel that gets too close.

Setting foot on the island itself proves little safer, with the fragile remnants of those ships often collapsing under the weight of any person chancing upon them, creating a maze of shifting treachery with each new step inside. Once inside, it is almost impossible to escape for those who are unprepared. Rumors circulate among sailors and adventurers, hushed whispers that it's some kind of burial ground for pirates. According to legend, they fiercely protect it, guarding their dead from those who would trespass.

But the island holds more than the threat of wreckage collapse and pirate vendetta. Whispers speak of memories in life-like translucent figures, likenesses of long-dead Rexals. They might have risen from the past; these apparitions guard this island, scaring away anybody who gets too close to their resting place. It's thought that the same magic intertwined within the land calls upon the island's guardians in times of need, manifesting as long-dead pirates whose ghostly presence remains to threaten any who draw near.

Recently, Posian scientists uncovered a hint of magic deep within the Posian cliffs and suspect the same forces are at work on the island. They now require soil samples from the island's center as they hope to confirm that powerful veins of magic run beneath the island, giving rise to these vivid memories. Generally, this island is out of bounds to all but the most daring Rexals. Now, only the bravest adventurer will dare to seek the truth and recover the samples.

It is your duty to help the scientists gather the samples. But beware - the pirates have used magical illusions to fend off intruders, using the island to bury their dead. The area should be filled with shipwrecks and may have cloudy white fog.

Got a pirate Rex? Time to shine. The setup is the same, but this time you are on the other side of the equation: defending the island from invaders. Your Rexals can summon apparitions with illusion magic or lay traps, whatever their skills provide. To which flag your pirate sails doesn't matter here - the island is shared by all pirates of the cove, and internal conflicts are irrelevant for this mission.
