We now return to the main story. When Ardenis grew up, he received a pirate ship like other adopted sons, but he wanted more.
With his brilliant combat skills he built up his own fleet within six months.
His name was soon famous throughout the Southern Seas and the young pirate made his presence felt.

The rise of Ardenis indirectly induced the growth of another faction - the Four Seas Trade Council.
Because Ardenis was once adopted by Olsen, he didn't allow his ships to attack the ships of that particular chamber.
Because their ships were not attacked by pirates on a regular basis, the chamber's ships made a good deal more profit than their competition. Merchants decided to join the chamber to take advantage of this.
