  • 9 - Blackbeard: Tyrant of the Caribbean

    In an age where the so-called “civilized” are trading slaves, establishing penal colonies in foreign lands, and slaughtering their enemies. Who is good, and who is evil? Where loot and pillage for the crown are praised and rewarded with gold, but criminal the second it is deemed no longer necessary- Where in the cracks of history do the men that did not conform to the rules of the world fit? Where do the wild men reside? One place we know for certain was the seas of the Caribbean with the one and only: Blackbeard.

  • 8 - Greco-Persian Wars: The Battle of Marathon, All Out Combat

    “With you it rests, Callimachus, either to bring Athens to slavery or, by securing her freedom, to be remembered by all future generations. For never since the time that the Athenians became a people were they in so great a danger as now.

If, on the other hand, they fight and overcome, Athens may rise to be the very first city in Greece.” - Miltiades in Herodotus Histories
