With the March Heart of Fire (Content Update), the Masked Stranger's plan to resurrect Captain Flameheart by using Stitcher Jim were revealed, along with hints to her real identity being none other than Wanda the Warsmith.

With a steady income, the Reapers started building fortifications on the Hideout out of Merrick's old ship's remains.

With Flameheart free, the Reapers officially set up camp at the newly named and charted The Reaper’s Hideout, where the Stranger began accepting various Treasure related to the Reapers. In the following months, Jim and the Stranger plotted and performed various rituals under the Bilge Rats, such as turning Old Boot Fort into the Fort of the Damned and summoning the Ghost of Graymarrow during the Fort of the Damned (Content Update), or summoning the ghost of Sir Arthur Pendragon to trick him into releasing the soul of Flameheart during the The Seabound Soul (Content Update). With the Smuggler’s Fortune Content Update, Stitcher Jim re-emerged from hiding with a mysterious Masked Stranger, making camp on the Uncharted Island. Previously an Uncharted Island with nothing of interest, aside from the Shipwreck of Merrick's old ship The Killer Whale. The Reaper's Bones set up camp at The Reaper’s Hideout with the Ships of Fortune Content Update.
