The Caribbean is a region of the Americas consisting of the Caribbean Sea and its islands.
[edit] History
This area was infamous for pirate activity during the Age of Piracy, containing notable pirate havens such as Quebradas Costillas, Tortuga and Port Royal. The latter was presided over by Governor Weatherby Swann, and contained the largest Royal Navy fort in the Caribbean: Fort Charles, from which Captain James Norrington hunted down and captured some of the Caribbean's most infamous pirates.
Around this time, Jack Sparrow served as the Pirate Lord of the Caribbean Sea, though his status was diminished after Hector Barbossa commandeered his ship, the Black Pearl. Barbossa and his cursed crew became the scourge of the Caribbean over the next decade, raiding ports and leaving few, if any, survivors. The legendary Davy Jones and his ship, the Flying Dutchman, was also spotted in Caribbean waters, preying on doomed vessels and their crews, desperate to forestall the final judgement by serving aboard Jones' ghost ship.
The situation in the Caribbean shifted with the arrival of Lord Cutler Beckett in Port Royal. Supreme head of the East India Trading Company (EITC), Beckett embarked on an ambitious plot to eradicate piracy from both the Caribbean and the Seven Seas as a whole. He gained command over Davy Jones, and unleashed the Flying Dutchman and his own armada against the pirates of the Caribbean. This led to a confrontation between the East India Trading Company and the Pirate Lords of the Brethren Court, during which both Jones and Beckett were killed. Further, the sea goddess Calypso was released from her human bonds, perhaps yet again shifting the balance of power as the pirates fought to keep the seas free.
During the War of Garcia and Pierre and War against piracy, both EITC and British Royal Navy have clashed with cursed forces of Jolly Roger, undead pirate captain who wants to become Pirate Lord of the Caribbean Sea, and kill Jack Sparrow, whom he blames for his cursed state.
