I deceided to write a brief history to gather all our information into a single spot. This is my interpretation of events based on information gathered. Feel free to discuss.
Many years ago....but not too many.... John Moses was a farmer and he worked the land, his land. One day he found a golden sword with a jewel encrusted hilt buried in the soil. He took it home and showed it to his wife Constance. They decided to sell the sword but before they could John Moses was accused of stealing livestock. They came in the middle of the night and arrested John Moses for a crime which he did not commit. Low who should it be that brought these false charges against poor John. Twas that fiend Captain Rott. He took the sword from the couple and had John dragged off in chains. Constance was in a panic, she knew she could not pay John's fines now that the sword was gone. The penalty for such a crime was death by hanging. She contacted a well-to-do relative in England and asked for help. Captain Cromwell was hired to take the ransom to the Caribbean to free John Moses. Cromwell was a good man but curiosity got the better of him. He had to see what was in the box he was to deliver. When he saw all the gold there he could not help himself and he sailed away with it for himself. With no ransom John Moses was found guilty and hung by the neck until dead. Constance cried for days refusing to eat or sleep. She died shortly after of a broken heart. John's soul was delivered to Jolly Roger (I assume by Captain Rott) and he was placed in Jolly's undead army. Years pass and Jolly sets his eyes upon Port Royal. A place he cannot enter because of the voodoo relics place upon the island by Tia Dalma. He sends Captain Rott and the Casa de la Muertos guild in his stead. They appear human (actually Undead) and use their lies and gold to trick the pirate brethren into digging up and removing these relics. They also get the pirates to disable the Navy as well. The ghost Constance Sorrow (Moses - the town gave her the name of Sorrow) appears and warns the pirate brethren that they have been deceived by Captain Rott. That Jolly is coming to invade Port Royal. She cries at her loss and asks the pirates to help her win John's freedom from his terrible fate. Then on one late autumn day Jolly Roger's ship appears, the sky's burn with green fire and Jolly's visage appears in the moon itself. From his ship he calls forth his foul army of the undead. Out of the ocean and even from the very ground they come with John Moses among them. The pirates drive Jolly Roger back again and again but eventually his endless hordes bring down the Govenor's mansion and set it ablaze. Jolly Roger now set's his eyes on Tortuga and his nemesis Jack Sparrow. Again Constance comes to the aid of the pirates predicting the invasions and warning the pirates. Captain Walter appears and tells the pirates to seek out the undead where ever they may be found and destroy them. This effort weakens Jolly's army to the point that John Moses is able to break free from his grasp. Captain Rott then reappears saying that Jolly Roger would seek parlay with the pirates and offers anyone who joins Jolly a way out. 100 years of service in his army, otherwise they will all be killed. Captain Rott also speaks of a special weapon held in reserve by Jolly Roger. A magical cannon of immense power. Captain Walter appears later and after being told about what Rott said he tells the pirates its a false offer and a lie. All who join Jolly will be added to his army of undead that we just spent so much effort to crush. The pirates defend Tortuga time and again while Jack Sparrow hides within the Faithful Bride. Constance and John Moses are reunited and share thier thanks with the pirate brethren. Captain Cromwell is cursed to walk as a ghost until he has returned the gold he stole. He is repentive now and has asked that John Moses forgive him but John will not. In an effort to make things right Captain Cromwell will now give the pirates warning of coming invasions just as Constance once did. John Moses gave a final warning today to the pirates gathered to see the couple reunited. Jolly Roger's next target is Padres Del Fuego and he is after weapons. He says he heard about it one day that there are weapon caches all over Padres and that he has forces there already. His army will be much larger and more difficult to defeat. So keep a weather eye upon the ilse of Padres Del Fuego me hearties for the day is coming when the black skeleton ship of Jolly Roger will land there and if he gets those weapons we may not be able to stop him. Captain Whale.....Hope this helps |

Aye Matey! I think ye be right on the spot with that bit of information savvy? Tis a great story indeed that will surely be passed on fer generations by pirates of all kinds shapes and sizes for eons to come! I wonder meself why Tia still has her powers though if the bretheren court imprisoned her in the first place and if she placed the relics then why did she also ask that we dig them up and if there is a way to release calypso a.k.a. tia from her human bonds.

Tia is currently a voodoo priestess as she was at the start of the second movie. As Jeanne stated we are (movie history wise) between movies one and two. Also she did not ask us to dig up the relics. That was Captain Rott and his foul but very human looking undead crew. How they managed to look so human and still be undead is still a mystery. Rott is currently under the employ of Jolly Roger.

As far as powers: once bound in human form Calypso lost her powers. As Captain Whale said, Tia Dalma's powers come from being a practitioner of voodoo a.k.a. the Dark Arts. Quote:

Ahoy Kat,
If you check the Lore on Big D's page you will see that John Moses and Constance Sorrow have been reunited. They have moved on together and that storyline is complete. It is still possible to see Ol' Sooty or Captain Cromwell about but no reports have come through for awhile. Ol'Soot was helping with invasions now and again. Hopefully that helps ya out, Thx Kat!

Very good story put there Whale. But i believe that Rott was not a servant of Jolly until he was killed during the battle of Padres. Probably he surrendered it to a Conquistador of Jolly.
Yes the game happens between the first and second films. The Brethren court was established beyond 1600 ad probably ( check the Kraken game ). The Legends of the Brethren Court is a prequel series of the BC, somebody must check on that. |

Well that is truly a great story line once you read the whole thing laid out in front of you. All we can do is wait for the next chapter to unravel with the discovery of the weapons caches.

Mate legendary weapons are the best of the best currently, lost relics are the second highest, and then rare, common and crude.
