The Saga of Blackbeard
Edward Teach grew uop on the isle of Gras a Dye. He loved it. But he loved the sea even more. He had dreams one day of an empire. One of unimaginable riches, one spanning the entire colonial area. He dreamt of owning an entire fleet one day. He imagined the seas far beyond, and yearned to be a powerful man in Etain. He decided to become a merchant. Yes. That is how he would create his empire.
It came to pass one summer's day he convinced his uncle (with whom he lived, never knowing his real parents) to pay so he could be schooled in the finest academy. That is where he would gain prestige. That is where he would begin the foundations of a trade empire to span the globe. Yet fate had other things in store for Edward.
He was sent away to Abriko, the colonial capital. Though not as great as the capital of Etain, it schooled many fine merchants throughout the generations. He was an eager student, and took to learning the skills required for his self-envisioned future as a duck to the water. Yet one day, as he was writing a letter to his uncle, he got into a fight. This was untolerable at Abriko's Academy. When the schoolmaster asked who did this, the schoolmaster believed the boy who picked the fight, not Edward. It was probably due to the fact the boy was the son of a great Captain.
Edward was sent home. As he was sailing home, he began to concoct plans for revenge. He would not settle for anything less than his dream. He would attain his goals one way or the other.
Years later, he boarded a ship bound for the capital of Etain. He used stolen money. Already he was finding thieving to his liking. But he knew common thievery would get him no true wealth. While he was on the ship, he poisoned all of the drinks, by sneaking into the kitchen. He had appealed to much of the crew's disliking for the captain. About half joined him. When the captain's death was announced the next morning, the first mate said he would take over. It is reported that Edward said "Nay! Blackbeard owns this ship!" He pulled out his pistol, and shot the first mate dead.
After the ensuing fighting, his crewmen won. He had captured his first ship. He renamed it "Queen Anne's Revenge". It was the foundation of a new era in the colonial history. It was the era of Blackbeard the Pirate.
