Prologue
I've been hemming and hawing but I think it's time to take the plunge and do this.Daily Request for Dodos in #SeaOfThieves🦤Day 1🦤If a self-admitted meme can get into the game, so should a creature that has a historical connection to sailors... And ancient concept art! 😁 pic.twitter.com/4F8SQKYjg0— Skipper Jimi 🦤 (@SkipperJimi) May 31, 2023
Daily Request for Dodos in #SeaOfThieves🦤Day 2🦤The Dodo Bird could only be found on the island of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean. The noble bird can be spotted in this 1601 engraving of Dutch sailors on Mauritius. pic.twitter.com/a4NagcVH1Z— Skipper Jimi 🦤 (@SkipperJimi) June 2, 2023
Daily Request for Dodos in #SeaOfThieves🦤Day 3🦤In the early 1500s, Portuguese sailors arrived on the uninhabited island that we today call Mauritius. Captain Domingo Fernandez Pereira named it “Ilha Do Cerne" (Island of the Swan). Perhaps "swan" referred to the Dodo Bird! pic.twitter.com/umCnzzfuMw— Skipper Jimi 🦤 (@SkipperJimi) June 3, 2023
Daily Request for Dodos in #SeaOfThieves🦤Day 4🦤The word "dodo" has mysterious origins. Some say it's from old Portuguese doudo (fool) or Dutch dodaars (knotted-rear, after the tuft of feathers on the bird's posterior). Others suggest the bird's call sounded like "do-do" pic.twitter.com/KblkTo150D— Skipper Jimi 🦤 (@SkipperJimi) June 4, 2023

Sadly, the dodo is now extinct. Unafraid of humans, dodos may have been easy targets for hunters. However, their extinction was more likely due to humans activities ruining their habitat than hunting. pic.twitter.com/iuahQSKN4F

They say the Dodo can no longer be seen in the outside world. But recently, there was a Dodo sighting at Ancient Spire Outpost! Sadly, the creature vanished as suddenly as it had appeared. pic.twitter.com/76jjNhVwlM

Ever since the Dodo sighting at Ancient Spire, Jimi has not been able to stop thinking about the mysterious creature. How did it come from the faraway Indian Ocean all the way to the Sea of Thieves? How did it pass the Veil? pic.twitter.com/xfJuhsECxl

Wanting to learn more about the Dodo and how it came to the Sea of Thieves, Jimi decided to talk to the picaroon who knows these waters best: Ramsey, the Pirate Lord! pic.twitter.com/yvB0iYxnzB

Today @HLariash polled more than 600 picaroons about owls vs dodos. You can see the results below. It was a clear DODO VICTORY. Imagine where we will be in a few months, as we continue to spread the word about the dodo! 🦤 pic.twitter.com/dQ8lD3q0Cl

The Pirate Lord allowed Jimi into his personal library. There, Jimi found a dusty old book about birds on the Sea of Thieves. Among them, he found a page about the Dodo! pic.twitter.com/Gesndp2tEA

In the Pirate Lord's Library, Jimi learned that, contrary to popular myth, Pirates and Dodos got along very well in the outside world. Pirates were more likely to BEFRIEND Dodos than eat them! pic.twitter.com/3WnbDUY4JB

In fact, it was the Grand Maritime Union that was the true enemy of the Dodo. Their ambition to control and squeeze profit out of everything caused the destruction of the Dodo's wild home. pic.twitter.com/edg8EQg8Ab

Fleeing GMU activities in Mauritius, the Dodo stowed away on friendly pirate ships. A few of them made their way to the Sea of Thieves. pic.twitter.com/h3oT2Tv7gj

There is even early concept art for Dodos in the Sea of Thieves. Clearly, they have a long history in this mysterious world. But where have they gone? pic.twitter.com/53pdxotfPJ

Like Pirates, Dodos found sought refuge in the Sea of Thieves. Somehow, pirates had lost contact with their old friends, but the recent sighting at Ancient Spire proved they were still out there. pic.twitter.com/35ZR6hfPYG
