That Swashbuckler- A Pirate101 Blog: Time to feast!

To find the next piece of the map to El Dorado, you are sent to Aquila to find the Oracle. She is supposed to help you locate the piece with her prophecies. Unfortunately, getting the scrap of the map is never that easy.

In ancient mythology, oracles were said to make predictions of the future that were inspired by the gods. Most of the oracles worshipped Apollo, the god of truth, prophecy, music, and other things. Lots of the oracles gave predictions every few weeks or months, or sometimes randomly. Because of the infrequent prophecies, most of the public went to seers, who interpreted the future by looking at birds, animal entrails, etc, for their daily prophecy. The disadvantage with seers was they could only answer yes-or-no questions, while oracles were more general. The oracle at Delphi, who was the most prestigious figure in ancient Greek times, made predictions from 1,400 B.C. to 393 A.D.

In Pirate101, before the Oracle can make any prophecies, I have to recover her sacred water that was stolen by the serpents in the city of Troy. Unfortunately, the eagles of Aquila are at war with Troy, and before I can get the water, I need to help them take the city. Sadly, one of the eagles' best warriors, Eagilles, isn't helping with the war effort. To convince him to fight in the war, I have to throw him a feast. This quest line required defeating enemies on land (during which I got my highest AOE damage amount, 1,053 damage), and enemies at sea. I look forward playing more and making more blog posts about my adventures in Aquila. Stay tuned for more!
