Athena's Fortune Hideout
Athena's Fortune, also known as Athena's Fortune Hideout, Pirate Legend's Hideout, or Tavern of Legends, is the location and headquarters of the Athena's Fortune Trading Company. The area contains shops and services catered to Pirate Legends and players who have rank in the Athena's Fortune company. An additional area, which provide further services, can be opened by players with Guardians of Fortune Allegiance 100.
The location of Athena's Fortune is secret and only accessible through ethereal portals found in locked underground tunnels. A locked tunnel entrances can be found in an Outpost's Tavern and may only be opened by Pirate Legends who play the Shanty of Legends at is threshold found on the Tavern's floor. Playing any instrument close to an entrance automatically switches to the correct shanty. The entrance will then glow with the Legendary Mark, logo of Athena's Fortune, before sliding open to reveal a stairway leading down to the portal.
Once a tunnel entrance is opened, any player may enter and access the portal to Athena's Fortune until the entrance eventually closes again. Exiting Athena's Fortune is done through a similar portal within Athena's Fortune. Players who enter this portal will be transported to the Tavern from where they first entered.
At Athena's Fortune, players begin within a tunnel leading to a large open underground cavern. A dock stretches out from the tunnel spanning nearly the whole length of the cavern. At the dock's front is the main building while down at the dock's end is the Athena's Fortune Shipwright.
Main area
The main building is built using the hollowed out remains of the Pirate Lord's ship, Athena's Fortune. The bulk of this front facing area is known as the "Tavern of Legends" and houses both a Tavern and the Athena's Fortune Shop. The Pirate Lord, is found off to the side in the captain's cabin of the shipwreck.
