As Matveydark, a free soul who has sailed between legends, I wonder: what would happen if Flameheart and his followers were finally destroyed? Would true balance ever come to the Sea of Thieves?
Flameheart stands for tyranny masked as strength, while the Pirate Lord represents imperfect but shared freedom. If Flameheart falls, freedom may reign for a time… but can the Sea remain balanced without a shadow to challenge it?
My suggestion is not just about lore: could the game reflect this eternal cycle of conflict? Perhaps new threats would rise after Flameheart’s fall—new Lords of Shadow, or even moral choices that players must make as heirs of the sea.
The Sea of Thieves should neither stagnate in peace nor drown in endless war, but breathe like a living ocean: waves of balance, tide after tide of legend.
From a pirate for whom the horizon is never enough,
