The Ninjas and Pirates of Sho Nuff Island are fighting for control of a legendary Wind Orb, which the Pirates call the Wind Pearl and the Ninjas call the Jewel of the Four Winds. It was Drakath who stole the orb from its original resting place in the Ruins of Kordana, but the Pirates and the Ninjas blame each other for its disappearance and started a massive war against each other. This war introduced a new way of waring, in which you choose which side to battle for.
