Heart of Fire journals

Stitcher Jim's Heart of Fire journals are found exclusively while the Heart of Fire Tall Tale is active.

We Need a New Plan

The We Need a New Plan journal is found inside Stitcher Jim's Hideout on Liar's Backbone. It's in the middle of the cave, placed on a makeshift wooden shelf.

If my hands was large enough, I'd wring Duke's neck! What does he think he's doing, paying pirates to steal back the things I stole?!
For now, though, I've got to cosy up to him and help him flog his junk crates. Make him think I've turned over a new leaf. As if!
I mean, maybe we lost the Dark Relics we needed to resurrect you-know-who, but there's more than one way to pluck a parrot.
Once I've finished here I'll head to the wreck of the Blackwyche and scrounge around for a few 'leftovers'. Even a lock of hair'll do...
Word is, its Captain can't resist playing the hero with that magic sword of his. That means I've just got to point him to the right place.

 

Disorder of Souls

The Disorder of Souls journal is found inside Flameheart's Lair on The Devil's Thirst. This journal is located in the central room with the three doorways leading to three distinct paths. The journal nests on rocks by the middle "Path of the Forsaken Flame".

Pendragon only went and ruddy did it! We all saw Flameheart, larger than life, letting the whole Sea of Thieves know that he's back!
Next thing I know, I'm sailing out so that I can swear my allegiance to him. Sorry, Rathbone, but Stitcher Jim's got a new master now...
Being here in the Devil's Roar puts me dangerously close to Cap'n Sorrow, but so what? She'll get hers soon enough.
The master's plan will birth the first of his new Ashen Lords, and there'll be more where that came from! All loyal to him - to US!
Everyone who ever did wrong by Stitcher Jim - Sorrow, the Bilge Rats, the Order of Souls - is about to be sorry. Very sorry indeed...

 

Bye Bye, Blackwyche

The Bye Bye, Blackwyche journal is found down the "Path of the Forsaken Flame" after the second wooden door in Flameheart's Lair at The Devil's Thirst. The journal is placed on rocks beside a pile of skulls above a lava pool in the trap room after the first Skeleton room.

I've been around a long time, but I've never seen a box like this one. I dunno where my beloved dug it up from, but it stinks like a crypt.
I'm actually pretty nervous. Messing around with curses is all well and good if you're the Order of Souls, but it makes my teeth itch.
What can I do, though? Master needs souls to summon his Ashen Lord, and if I want to stay in his good books, I'm the man to find 'em.
Sounds simple, but it ain't, 'cos to trap a soul in the chest I first need something that belongs to 'em, not to mention more of them Dark Relics.
Lucky for me, that trip I took to the Blackwyche has already given me everything I need...

 

A Chest of Rage...

A Chest of Rage... journal is found inside the "Path of the Eternal King" behind the first door in Flameheart's Lair at The Devil's Thirst. The journal is placed on a pile of skulls in the trap room after the first Skeleton room. The journal is placed right before a set of swirling flame traps.

Now I understand why they call it a 'Chest of Rage'. I can hear the souls inside and they ain't stopped yelling and screaming, not once.
I says to 'em, it's nothing personal, just that I already had their belongings lying around from that Pendragon business.
Dunn was the easiest to find, snoring his head off at a sea post with a Splashtail in one hand and a drink in the other. He didn't even wake up!
Cavendish was next. Her Dad was the one whose soul got trapped on the Blackwyche back in the day, so bad luck must run in the family.
Rodriguez put up a fight and nearly stuck me. Too bad I'd already slipped something into her grog. Well, she don't need a stomach no more...

 

Departing

The Departing journal is found inside the "Path of the Burning Heart" behind the third door in Flameheart's Lair at The Devil's Thirst. The journal is in the final alcove of the last trap room with spikes coming out of walls. Since this journal is right before the exit of the third path, a player can stay by the lever and let other crewmates in the room to read the journal without completing the third path themselves.

I am run proper ragged! It's so hot down here I can't hardly breathe, but guess who's got to make sure all the traps are working?
I don't dare complain though. Rathbone could be scary but most of the time it was like you weren't in the room. Only his gold mattered.
When the master speaks, it's like he knows what you're thinking. He's smart. Scary smart, and he believes Pendragon will try to stop the ritual.
Well, let him try, I say! No matter how many pirate pals he brings along, they'll never make it through to me in time.
Speaking of time... I should head to the Ritual Chamber. All my hard work's finally about to pay off! Finally, Stitcher Jim gets what he deserves.

 

The Herald of the Flame journals

These journals by Stitcher Jim journals were found exclusively during the the time-limited The Herald of the Flame Adventure. The book covers depicts a lit beacon with a large, orange flame burning.

Alone

(By the central table in the Sun Vault on Ashen Reaches.)

my beloved my master my jim this a nightmare must be why not wake up just wake up wake up jim wake jim
so thirsty but no no. i can hear them out there. smell them. taste them. must stay quiet
I think I slept. How long has it been? Too dangerous to glance at the moon. And always, my arm...
I see it all so clear now. She tricked me. ME! But she told me too much. I remember the things i wasn't meant to hear. I can still make them pay. Her, him, all of them!
I'm still so weak. Need to be brave. Find some food topside. I'll need my strength. Glory to Flameheart? NO! Only death. Lasting and forever. DEATH TO FLAMEHEART!

Purpose

(On the right by a pile of skulls in Flameheart's tomb on Flintlock Peninsula.)

My faith was tested, and I was found wanting.
Belief in the flame burns so brightly in the Master's boy. I thought it was pain, agony, coursing through my arm, when in fact, it was purpose. Power. A fine gift indeed.
I'll work here to atone, basking in the flame. That's my destiny. Master knows it. His son knows it. Even the Ancients, long-since dust, understood.
Every day of my long life, from the moment I took Rathbone's map, has led me to this. I will restore the Master as best I can, ready for his return. Stitch him together! Hah.
Ramsey and his rabble will surely want to make a fight of it. Well, let them try! Soon I'll have no more need to fear them. There'll be no stopping the Herald of the Flame.

Renewed

(To the right in the fort's vault on Molten Sands Fortress.)

"Drink", he told me, and drink I did. Drained every last drop, to wash Stitcher Jim away.
My old self had perceived the raw strength of an Ashen Lord, but not the wisdom. So many new thoughts, now, my head full of countless secrets...
Now I understand how to perform the ritual. How to split the skies apart and rain down the Master's fury. To call forth others in service to their King.
The world looks so much darker through sightless eyes. It yearns for the light of the flame. The radiance of the Herald - a beacon to call my Master home.
I'll drain the Devil's Roar to its last ember in order to finish my glorious work. Soon my master will be complete. And then, at last, so will I.
