You can see the East Island from any coast of the Empire, beckoning you with the beauty of snow-white beaches and untouched nature. But even children know that this island is not a tourist destination but a specially guarded prison, where, among other things, dangerous villains are kept. Running the prison takes a large amount of provisions and a steady supply of arms for the guards.
There are rumours that before the island became a prison, it was used as a port by pirates and there is a lot of treasure buried there. It is not known for certain what attracts pirates to the East Island, but their frequent appearances in its vicinity have ceased to surprise anyone.
Last night, under the cover of night, the watchmen on the prison towers saw fiery flashes out the sea. In the next instant, a cannonball whistled through the air and crashed into the fortress wall, showering the watchmen in a hail of shrapnel. Like a frenzy of hungry sharks, the island was surrounded by innumerable pirate ships, filling the air with the thunder of guns.
Dear Lords and Ladies, East Island and the waters nearby are under attack by dreaded pirates! To prevent any chance of riot or escape, you must fend off pirate attacks and deliver much needed supplies to the island needed to rebuild the prison fortress.
All lords and ladies of combat level 3 and above can go to Harbor City, take part in restoration of the island fortress, and battle with the pirates who besiege it. Fights with pirates are in 1v1 format.

7. Goods prices on the island change every hour on the hour.
