Fathers of Fire[]
"Padres Del Fuego is recognizable on sight by its towering, black-plumed volcano. This island is run by its de-facto governor, Don Victorio. Pirates and adventurers alike come here to look for ancient treasures lost in the volcano's complex cave system. The island's residents don't much like pirates, but they appreciate those who defend them from Jolly Roger's encroaching army. The East India Trading Company has recently established a silver mining operation here, but it seems that more than silver may be involved.
The name Padres Del Fuego is Spanish for "Fathers Of Fire".
Lore[]
The island was once home to the Fathers of Fire tribe, who crafted the mighty Headstone out of lava rock and imbibed with powerful voodoo magic. The stone was to control the forces of nature itself. It was meant to protect the islanders from outside threats but was unable to stop the Spanish conquistador El Patron who plundered regiion seeking his fortune.
It's rumored the remaining tribesmen hid the stone deep under the volcano to prevent Patron from ever using it's voodoo for his dark desire for power. The pirate will aid Captain Jack Sparrow in attempting to locate this relic before Jolly Roger or Cutler Beckett can lay their hands on it as part of Story Quest: The Headstone.
Areas[]
- Los Padres [1] - This quaint town on the edge of lava destruction has no enemies to fight, but every kind of merchant service you may require.
- Fort Dundee [2] - A good place for beginners and medium-level pirates. There are numerous Royal Navy soldiers, ranging from Sergeants to a few Officers and lots of Veterans. Occasionally, you may encounter a random boss here. Good for bladed weapons and voodoo, maybe not so much for grenades as they tend to be spread out. The jail on Padres Del Fuego was in Fort Dundee, but, has now been relocated by the lava bridge.
- Beckett's Quarry [3] - From Fort Dundee or the Catacombs, you can find yourself in this very dangerous place for medium and beginner pirates. The quarry is a silver mine in which Cutler Beckett's prisoners are forced to work and the quarry is populated by some of the toughest Navy and EITC mercenaries in the Caribbe. The Pirate's Code means you can't use your pistol here, but you can dish out blades and voodoo. Two resident bosses are also here: Samuel, a Grunt boss, and Neban the Silent, a lethal Assassin boss - one of the deadliest Black Guards. There have also been multiple sightings of other assorted random bosses.
- Lava Gorge [4] - You can quickly get lost traveling here between the cave entrance and the Catacombs; as you go exploring this labrynth, there are numerous undead and Spanish Undead to meet. An Undead Duelist boss has been spotted here before.
- The Catacombs [5] - Accessible from the far side of the island or from a side-entrance through Beckett's, this room contains a number of tough undead and more EITC and Navy baddies. There are high-level Undead Gypsies, Raiders and Grenadiers to fight as well as Veterans, Officers, Hired Guns and Assassins. There is also a platform where a spectral Jolly Roger overlooks the fighting. Luckily, you can just run directly through - if you're trying to reach Beckett's or flee. Resident boss Bonerattler, hides here too.
- El Sudoron [6] - The lush jungle between Beckett's Quarry and Las Pulgas is full of hard to find critters (Stumps, Dread Scorpions, Gators, Fly Traps) as well as a Navy camp with a couple of EITC bad guys too. It is a great place to find quest enemies. Most of what is in here is good pistol practice. Blades, Pistol and Voodoo can all find plenty of opportunity. Dreadtooth, a boss Huge Alligator, can be found here resting by the watering hole.
- Las Pulgas ("City of Pests") [7] - On the other side of El Sudoron is a small town overrun with undead, and a few valiant Navy. Just about any kind of Undead can be found here. The village also offers a number of merchants (some offering unique items) and an escape to your ship is a short hop away. As in the Quarry, mixing humans and undead makes pistol harder, but cutlass or voodoo is a good option. A group of mediums or a handful of higher-level characters can take advantage of this isolated area. General Darkhart, a tough Undead Raider boss, is here as well as Timothy Dartan, an Undead Gypsy boss. Random bosses may also appear.
- High Seas - Padres is THE place for many a pirate ship brawl, with all kinds of heavy ships just floating by. Of course, with all the incoming and outgoing pirate traffic, it may be hard to get a target to yourself. Taking a crew out near Padres will keep you busy with numerous Navy, EITC, and Undead ships abouts.
Enemies[]
Despite a hospitable population, Padres is the home to more enemies of pirates than ANYWHERE else in the Caribbean. Creatures stalk the caves, jungles, and even the beaches. Soldiers populate Fort Dundee and both Navy and East India troops can be found lurking in numerous places. Even the Undead have a foothold here in Las Pulgas and they aren't about to give it up! The island is meant for pirates who can take the challenge. Can you survive?

Invasion![]
The next target of Jolly Roger's invasions (after Port Royal and Tortuga) was Padres Del Fuego.
The target here is the central Los Padres area, which Jolly will attack to make the walls fall. The reason for this invasion is the presence of a cache of weapons left by the Spanish Conquistadors many moons ago. They have come back to get it and will do anything to achieve their goal!

Game Notes[]
- Padres is the only island where one can find the Volcano Potion ingredients. Some potions can only be made here.
- It is believed that Boiling Bay, which is the spawning area for ships, is the only place you can catch the Fire Dragon
- The volcano erupts once every hour, but when it does, it does not do harm to the player or the surrounding villages.
Changes[]
On April 8, 2009 - the island layout was changed dramatically by the game developers to fit the needs of low graphic computers in terms of performance issues. The entire layout including the volcano has been beautifully modified as well. Gamewise, this could be part of the EITC conspiracies or the volcano lava flows are increasing and running right through populated parts of the island! Some say the lava poured into an area in the quarry where the EITC was storing black powder, to take on pirates. It triggered an uproar and rise of raids on EITC ships, which had also increased in numbers, and led to a massive naval confrontation. Click here for more
