Cap'n Lory ain't got experience or smarts, but that ain't gonna stop him from bein' the greatest, most legendary pirate who ever sailed the seas — and he's got the perfect plan to do it, too: Sail through a never-endin' storm and rip a magical eye out o' Hellmaw, the legendary kraken who lives there. As a member o' the senior crew in Forgotten Waters: DLC Pack 1 – Kraken's Eye, you get to help the captain on this treacherous mission. Lucky you! Sure, some folk would shy away from such a task, but with Lory's leadership, nothin' could go wrong! If only Spooky Jed would stop goin' on about the end o' the world. Oh, no matter! It's probably nothin'! —description from the publisher
