Why The Reaper’s Bones are my Favourite Faction in Sea of Thieves

There are several different factions in Sea of Thieves, and most of them are tied to outposts or the Pirate Lord.

It’s a massive game with an unclaimed sea and all sorts of mystery. Sea of Thieves is also a game that I’ve wanted to try for a while, and a recent 50% off discount allowed me to try it.
