[QUOTE="Gundark, post: 964184, member: 6148"] [b]wendall's folly[/b] Wendall's Folly is a cove where the dread pirate Wendall had her hideout. The cove is almost a perfect circle with only one way in and out, with thick mist that can hide large ships. Wendall terrorized the coastline for 3 years killing all people on the ships she raided.
