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.

Pirate Lord

Well now! All together at last.
And standing here before us, a pirate who knows what it truly means to live freely on these waters.
Our Sea of Thieves isn't perfect. Like this ship, Athena's Fortune, she has a long history and carries the scars of great battles...
But she has always endured.
Even if she needs a bit of work here or there, this place is our home.
And so long as valiant souls are willing to make a stand and protect the pirate life, there'll always be a future worth fighting for!

Belle

A future filled with mystery, discovery and opportunity!
With a courageous spirit and hope in your heart, you've already been on grand adventures that have changed this world forever.
Here, surrounded by your fellow pirates, you will always have a place to enjoy true freedom.
A refuge to share stories of you daring deeds with crews from different horizons and dream of what tomorrow will bring.
This ship is a promise, that pirates will always have a canvas upon which to paint their own legends!

Merrick

Yeah, an' you've fought tooth an' nail to defend that promise!
Battlin' the kinds of monsters that'd crush everything we know an' love.
You stood your ground, you never gave up, an' you shown us us what it means to really belong down here!

Pirate Lord

That's right, and long may it continue!
Your deeds have ensured you a place alongside the most legendary pirates to ever sail the Sea of Thieves.
Today, we are honoured to welcome you into your crew.

Belle

Cloaked in folds of midnight waters
Side by side, we sons and daughters
We set forth for no King's orders
But we'll sail together.
Hold fast! Tides are turning
Flames roar, fires are burning
We'll all be returning
If we sail together!
All on the waves shall know our story
Sing of the battles fought ashore, we
All shall thrive on fame and glory,
We shall sail together

Legendary Pirates

[Rapturious cheers]

Pirate Lord

Hah, now you're really part of the crew! But there's still much to be done.
Set sail, and continue to fight in our name!
And remember, where you sail, the blessing of Athena's Fortune will carry you onward to glory!
