- Sea Of Thieves Opening Cutscene
The Gold Hoarders are one of the three Companies available in Sea of Thieves. They are a gold-loving, greedy company with the interest of amassing great hoards of Gold.
A Gold Hoarder also serves as a standard Shop located at Outposts. This is where Treasure Chests and Artefacts are turned in by players in exchange for Gold. They will also accept Mermaid Gems.
Lore
The Gold Hoarders is a company of treasure hunters founded by Rathbone, a former friend of the Pirate Lord, now known as the Gold Hoarder or the First Gold Hoarder. He was the greediest, gold-loving treasure hunter in all of the Sea of Thieves, and even died collecting gold from the ocean floor. He amassed a huge fortune in an unknown cave, and he returned to the sea of thieves as a skeleton. He stole the keys that open all chests from Ramsay Singh, the Pirate Lord. The chests are not able to be opened due to the fact that captain Ramsay sealed every chest with chains made from the first Kraken.
In Captain Flameheart's journal, Flameheart writes:
"One such character apparently unknown even to my father is the Gold Hoarder, a particularly terrifying Skeleton Lord whose name surely ties him to the Trading Company I met, oh, so many lifetimes ago. This man's skeleton was supposedly reclaimed by his spirit after death, driven by greed to the extent that he patches up his immortal frame with jewels and gold."
After he passed away, the Gold Hoarder’s Skeleton Keys were divided between his followers and they set up shop on the outposts scattered throughout the Sea of Thieves.
However, rumors and whispers say that anyone that joins the Gold Hoarders company will fall under the "Curse of the Gold Hoarder", becoming as greedy and gold-obsessed as the First Gold Hoarder. Not only that, many have noticed that patches of their skin or their eyes of have turned into gold. Some believe that contagiously using the magic Skeleton Keys and handling cursed gold or cursed treasure chests may have cursed these men and only way to slow down the curse is by hoarding more and more gold or they themselves will turn into gold.
