A New Force Emerging

We, the Halflingers, have coexisted with the Dragons for a long, long time. Our friendship with the Dragons have helped us immensely in that we did not need to protect ourselves in case of danger, for the Dragons were there to do so. We just wanted nothing more than a simple, quiet life in the forest.

That does not mean we should be oblivious to what is happening in this continent. After the loss of Nine Spirit, it has become evident that we the Halflingers will also need to step up and defend ourselves in times of danger. I believe this is that time.

A new force is primed to change everything in the Maple World. It's laying dormant for now, but... it won't be long until they fully show themselves to the public. I want to know if the new force is to be welcomed, or to be feared... and... I'd like for you to do that for us. Can you?

You have been well-experienced in this world of Maple, and your judgment holds true to all of us. Please go to #100030000 and meet with them. I want you to tell us whether they are good people or not.

This is a colossal development that will affect the Maple World and you're going to turn your back on it?!

Hey, who's that? I, 바트, will protect 카이린 and The Nautilus! Remember the name, the hero of the pirates, 바트! Hahahahaha! Wait, this is not it. What are you trying to do there? Whatever you are trying to do, it won't fool me! Not 바트!

Eh? What? You're just here to investigate because you've never seen us before? Why didn't you just say that from the get go? We're not aliens or anything like that! We're just Pirates. Fearsome, fight-to-the-last-man, potion-loving Pirates! Don't tell me you are thinking of Lord Pirate and those despicable bandits. They suck! We serve a cause much more true to the spirit of Victoria Island!

We ride around on our ship, The Nautilus, under the guidance of our captain, Kyrin, roaming around the coasts of Maple World, looking for the Black Mage. We use Knucklers and Guns to make sure that the root of all evil is vanquished--we want to make sure that the Black Mage never rises to the heights of power as he did before.

Just like the wisemen in Victoria Island training for the day the Black Mage returns, 카이린 is busy making sure that his followers stay in low numbers. She's so young, too. That's just so admirable!

So no more suspicious looks! We're not here to fight you! I swear on 카이린's name!

We're not done with the fort's construction just yet, so I can't show you what's going on, but...we'll be finished soon, so have no fear. If you want to join us and 카이린 and become a mighty Gunslinger or Brawler, come back later. By then, we'll be ready to accept you with open arms, and train you to live the life of a Pirate!

I don't think you have visited #100030000 yet. It is your choice as to whether you want to see them yourself or not. If you choose not to, then there's nothing I can do about it.
