Some labels about the event:
Staff of the Jester (action item) : Celebrate the party of the decade! Change another pirate's appearance for a little while. Scary, silly, fabulous or foolish - impossible to predict what you'll turn them into!
Staff of the Trickster (action item) :When you want to add a little unpredictability into someone's life, look no further than a staff which will change their appearance as well as apply an effect... not always a beneficial one!
Rivoli (design): Modeled on the imposing Téméraire class of ships of the line, the Rivoli has style in spades, there's no denying that. With a competent Captain helming her, there's no telling what she could accomplish! Are you that Captain?
Brederode (design): A classic in the making! Modeled after a small island nation's flagship, the Brederode offers no-nonsense design and the most spacious Captain's quarters anywhere on the seven seas.
Satisfaction (design): Yo ho ho, you CAN get Satisfaction! Climb aboard this imposing vessel, sail boldly into any harbor you please, and plunder at will!
Grabby (pet): Release the Kraken! Tougher than he looks, Grabby's tentacular technique could teach your crew a lot about never letting go of something you want.
Tigerfin (pet): As stylish as she is bloodthirsty, Tigerfin's stripes help her blend into sun-dappled shallow seas - but don't worry, she's fierce enough to keep up even in deep waters!
Sapphire Dragon (pet): For majesty on the wing, look no further than the Pirate King's favorite pet. By flying alongside your ship, the regal Sapphire Dragon adds a touch of class to any plundering expedition.
BIRTHDAY-The Pirate King has decreed weeks of festivities!

KRAKENS_LAGOON-Here's a bit of sport for you: going after Krakens!This is a profitable venture, mind, and there's a lot of demand for it, so my prices will rise every time you enter the Kraken's Lagoon - but as this is a celebration, I'll reset them every day.Oh, and speaking of profit, the order in which you take out the Krakens will determine the size of your reward... You'll have to learn which way is most lucrative for yourself.

Group map description
A gigantic shark has captured the mythical treasure ship of El Dorado! It's a golden opportunity to capture it - and I'll be paying less for damaged goods, so you'd best try to get that treasure ship out in one piece, or at least patch it up as you go. To kill Bloodfin, you'll have to work together: damage dealers should concentrate on any Tigerfins they can see, and the tank should work on luring Bloodfin away from the pool of blood that drives him into a frenzy - and on avoiding his jaws when he rises up to bite! Those teeth are no joke. Good luck!
Tip fro group map: Here's what you need to know:Poke the Kraken in the tentacles to get it to come out and play. Then look to see which kind you've gotten:if it roils up the water in a certain spot, avoid that spot if you don't want a rapid trip to the bottom.If it calls Octopi to come defend it, keep an eye on their numbers if you don't want to get swarmed. And if you see defensive tentacles, make use of the Hindenlurch to kill them - just don't get too close, or you'll suffer the same fate!By the way, once the Kraken arrives, don't bother with the Snapjaw; it won't pester you unless it's alone and feeling threatened.
Quests:
Gifts Afloat: Gifts from the Pirate King, mateys!We're celebrating an unprecedented TEN YEARS without a coup or assassination, and all the stops are being pulled out. Help yourself to some of the little tokens floating around!
Confetti Cannons: Not all pirates are playing along - but that's to be expected! If we all followed rules all the time, we'd be soldiers, not freebooters.A jumped-up powder monkey by the name of Pierre le Picard has made off with a great deal of Confetti Ammo. Chase him down - and help yourself to some!
Curses All 'Round: Scuttlebutt in the dockside taverns are that Edward Mansvelt is sitting on the greatest stash of Cursed Souls this side of Davy Jones' Locker!It's a free-for-all, matey, and I wouldn't want you to be left out.
Honor Besmirched: Captain Henry Morgan has cornered the market on Radiant Souls to pay off some old debts... A pirate in such a delicate position ought to think twice before insulting the Pirate King over a dice game!His Piratical Majesty has declared open season on Morgan, and his cargo.
Present and Accounted For: There are gifts a-plenty for taking, and they might hold anything from ammunition to amulets! It'd be a right shame not to take advantage, so man your harpoons and heave to!
A Piece of Cake: By decree of the Pirate King, all are welcome to a piece of... hmm, that can't be right. This decree actually reads "a piece of birthday snake"... what are those fat-fingered clerks playing at?No matter; go after that cake!
Tis Better to Receive: Anyone who says 'tis better to give than receive just doesn't have the right piratical attitude. I won't be hearing such drivel from you, though, will I?
A Proper Party: It's just not a proper pirate celebration without a few deaths, is it, matey? Can't have a dull affair, so let's honor our generous King with some good old-fashioned knock-down drag-out brawls!
For Love of the Game: Ahoy! It is I, Alexandros!Yes, yes, I know you know; allow an old monster hunter his fun.How do you feel about a bit of a challenge? If you're up for it, visit Jon Clifford to learn more - you'll need Ancient Emblems to butter him up.When you've completed his little game, I'll see you again!
Tastier Than Minotaur:There's good eating on a Kraken, though I know it's a meal that bites back a little more than most would find comfortable.Go after Theseus if you want to find out for yourself - and he's also carrying something you'll need for your next adventure!
Facing Bloodfin: You've not lost your touch, my friend!I am confident in sending you over to Norton Maxwell to face your greatest challenge yet - the mighty shark Bloodfin! It is too ferocious to face alone, so you'll want to bring some mateys.
Back Into the Pool: Have you had your fill of the terrors that lurk in Bloodfin's Pool?No? That's the kind of spirit I admire! Have at it - there's riches to be won!
Pirates on Parade: Heh. Look what just stumbled over the horizon... You look like you're up for a bit of a challenge.You may have noticed the parade of ships near Safe Haven. The Pirate King is paying them handsomely to visit our waters, just to provide a bit of fun for his celebration. Want to get started? Look for the good ship Syanite, and let her feel the sting of your cannons.
Frostbite: They call her Frostbite, and she lives up to her name. Go after her, if she doesn't give you chills.
Abaddon All Hope: Next in the parade is the Abaddon, and her Captain may as well have sprung from the depths; stay safe when you chase her down.
Cronos, in Logical Order: No time to dally; go after the Cronos, and show her who's Cap'n.
Pollen Allergy: Don't let her delicate looks fool you! The Flora Fatale is tougher than you might think.
Or Not To Bee: Her coloring is meant to drive you away, but I'll wager you're willing to ignore that and hole the Bomberbee's hull anyway.
Terminate Her: Go after the Predator, and make her your prey.
We'll Call It India: Do some serious damage to the Columbus, and tell her Captain that it doesn't count as discovery if someone already lives there!
Gloriantur: The Moriantur's a spooky one, all right. If you can resist turning tail, though, she's ripe for the plucking!
Sun Sign: Set your cannons to pounding the Scorpio into sawdust, but beware her sting! If you survive this, I've got some spare Voodoo Cannons with your name on them, courtesy of His Ruthless Majesty, the Pirate King.
Corsairs on Parade: Heh. Look what just stumbled over the horizon... You look like you're up for a bit of a challenge.You may have noticed the parade of ships near Safe Haven. The Pirate King is paying them handsomely to visit our waters, just to provide a bit of fun for his celebration. Want to get started? Look for the good ship Magellan, and let her feel the sting of your cannons.
Conquest: They call her the Conqueror of the Sea Dwellers, and she lives up to her name. Go after her, if you don't fear being conquered.
Royal Pain: Next in the parade is the Pirate King, named for our magnificent monarch. Off you go to chase her down! She can be a royal pain to catch.
Et Tu?: -Brutal honesty: I'm worried you won't come back from trying to take down the Brute.
Reign Supreme: Don't let its lion's roar scare you off - the Supremacy is tough, but I think you're tougher.
Behemoth to a Flame: Those black sails are meant to intimidate you, but I'll wager you're willing to ignore that and hole the Behemoth's hull anyway.
Noblesse Oblige:Go after the Soul Noble, and bring her down to our level.
Revento: Red sails in the morning, pirates, take warning - or so they say. Never been much for old tars' tales, myself. Go do some serious damage to her.
Now Go Break a Mirror: If you're not superstitious, the Jinx won't be one: it's as simple as that.
Spookier Than Thou:Set your cannons to pounding the Spooky Lovibond into sawdust! If you survive this, I've got some spare Voodoo Cannons with your name on them, courtesy of His Ruthless Majesty, the Pirate King.
