The Caribbean, also known as the West Indies, is a region consisting of the Caribbean Sea, its islands and the surrounding coasts. The Caribbean is located to the southeast of the continent of North America, east of Central America and north of South America.
Its largest islands are Cuba, Hispaniola, and Jamaica; however, countless smaller islands dot the sea. As such, there were several shipping routes throughout the region, with hundreds of ships using them. Both the British Royal Navy and the Spanish Navy roved the waters, protecting these merchant vessels and occasionally battling each other.
During the late 17th and 18th century, at the height of the Golden Age of Piracy, the Caribbean islands and seas were home to numerous bands of pirates, including Edward Kenway.
The islands were protected by a group of Assassins based out of Tulum, on the Mexican shore. Later, they moved to the island of Great Inagua. Conversely, there was also a strong Templar presence in the region, operating mostly from Havana, Cuba..
