Its waters brought in Flameheart and his flagship, the Burning Blade, along with the other ghost ships that are entering Sea of Thieves.
Because of this, according to a post on the game's website, Larinna, the leader of the Bilge Rats, is preparing those who want to face Flameheart and take part in the adventure.
Players need to talk to her at any Outpost Tavern before starting their new journey.

In these Adventures, players will work together to unravel the mysteries using the clues released both inside and outside of the game.
Rare will release these Adventures every month, and they will last for two to three weeks. Shrouded Islands will start from February 17 until March 3.
Aside from the Adventures, Sea of Thieves will also have six new locations that will be added to the map, including new sea forts that will allow them to complete story-related raids and collect the loot inside several of their rooms.
A set of new seasonal Plunder Passes will be released in Sea of Thieves that will contain items that they need to unlock, while new missions will also be added for those who reached the Pirate Legend status.
