The Chest of Wrath
As you travel across the barreling blue waves on the Sea of Thieves, a pirate learns many lessons on how to survive, and thrive. One imperative lesson that is learned more often than not is this: Staying out of sight and remaining subtle can be powerful allies when transporting your haul of loot back to an Outpost.
No other legendary chest across the Sea of Thieves robs a pirate of this luxury like the furious Chest of Wrath.
The smoldering Chest of Wrath is a notoriously mystical cache of treasure, known for its rightfully given namesake. The chest itself is said to have a burning anger that becomes evident as it slowly heats up, hotter and hotter the longer it is left to fume. Soon enough, the chest begins bellowing smoke from its open vents, pouring out a colossal tower of smog that can be seen for miles and miles!
While pollution may be the least of your problems from the Chest of Wrath, one thing is certain; Pirates who see that tower of smog will come for miles to claim it and the rest of your haul for themselves!
Pirate Legends do tell of a way to cease the enraged spirit within the cursed chest, however…
“To keep this chest from growing hotter, sooth its soul with salty water!”
The chest remains cool and calm when submerged in briny water, or will cool itself when splashed with a bucket full. Be warned, however, as this is but a temporary relief from the chests mystical powers.
While the ironclad stove contains flames of fury and anger, the treasure from the Gold Hoarder’s will be bountiful for those willing to risk bringing it back to port.
The face of the chest pays homage to the legendary pirate Edward Teach, better known as Blackbeard, whom infamously tied burning cannon rope into his beard to intimidate foes and friends alike, and scare the devil himself into his enemies.
Be wary, fellow swashbucklers, for the chest does not grow enraged from being aboard a vessel alone… the cursed box also enflames when sitting on dry land! So keep a bucket of salty brine on hand in case the temperate treasure chest grows enraged again!
*This is my concept for the Chest of Wrath, another new Treasure Chest for Sea of Thieves!
What are your thoughts? Would you want to see this in game? What ideas do you have for magic chests? How can this one be improved?
I look forward to your feedback again, and hope you continue to have a good times on the high seas!*
