A new little camp has popped up on Lagoon of Whispers, and in it you will find the chronicler of Pirate Legends: Umbra!
Aye, a historian—and an adventurer in her own right—Umbra chases tales of greatness throughout the world. Ah, but through the Devil’s Shroud, in the Sea of Thieves, so many stories abound that Umbra has asked our help in verifying these tavern tales.
Umbra has compiled a collection of clues—categorized with similar adventures, feats, and deeds. Each will lead you to an in-game player immortalization!
To help you make the most of your time at sea, we’ve recategorized these player immortalizations by region.
Ah, and when it comes to finding little easter eggs, the Shores of Plenty are plentiful indeed! This region boasts 24 of the 50 total Legends of the Sea locations and their respective commendations! This guide begins on Sanctuary Outpost, continues on in the North then slowly wends it way further South.
If you are a more visual pirate, we have a handy companion video to guide you along as well!
Let’s set sail!
