“Prepare to be BoardedBound for adventure upon the pirate vessel they've taken as their own, the heroes face a sea of dangers as they chart a course to become true Free Captains of the Shackles. But life as a pirate doesn't prove any easier now that they're in command, as deadly sea monsters, the corpses of drowned scallywags, and raiders from the deep rise to oppose them. When a most unusual map falls into the adventurers' hands, they have the chance to change their fate in a single daring raid. Is it the heroes' destiny to be the next victims of the merciless waves, or will fortune smile upon them and spur their rise as the newest and most infamous pirates of the Shackles?

Contents
Managing Editor F. Wesley Schneider talks about the newest addition to Paizo's editorial team (and the Pathfinder Adventure Path team specifically—Adam Daigle), as well as hints at some ship envy for Rob McCreary's prop ship for his running of this very campaign.
Now masters of their own ship, the adventurers can become pirates in their own right, but they must first rename and refit their stolen ship. But to be considered equals by the pirates of the Shackles, they have to prove themselves worthy of the name.
This double-size article provides a gazetteer of the major waterways of Golarion, including both oceans and seas, as well as overviews of the oceans' inhabitants, advice on underwater adventuring, and a massive random encounter table for sea-based challenges.
Captain Challys Argent and her unwilling sidekicks journey to Butcher's Rock, so named due to its shape, and its population of ravening cyclopes. Furious battle and grim prophecy ensues.
