Author Craft / Feedback Request - NaNoWriMo concepts

I'm starting out a bit late this year (College+Work=No time!) and I could use some input. I'm debating between two ideas so I'm putting it up for a vote. If you don't mind skimming the blurbs below I'd appreciate it. Which do you think sounds more interesting?
Exemplars:
Tales tell that long ago the world of Eramat was home to fantastic races and beasts, mages of great power and long life, druids that were spoke with all manner of creature and the land itself, and many other strange and wonderful things. Then there was a great cataclysm, the details lost to time, and suddenly all the magic and wonder bled away. All that remains is the ever expanding Aralellan Empire of men, led by their beloved Empress of Light. The Empress is the latest descendent Arella, seemingly the last great sorceress, who brought together her people in their time of need and led them on to greatness.
There is a secret hidden however in the depths of history and few are what they first seem. Strange things begin happening in Eramat as the wild magic of the world begins to reassert itself. The Exemplars are being born, those who embody the great races of old, and they will have to learn just what happened to their predecessors centuries ago if they are to survive.
Seven Deadly Pirates:
Captain Brandt Garza and his crew set off in search of a rumor of treasure beyond imagining. They yearned for silver, gold, and jewels, but what they will find is damnation. Accidently releasing the demonic spirits of the Seven Deadly Sins of Man they are “rewarded” by becoming avatars for those same sins. For a time the crew lose themselves to their respective sins looting and plundering as never before. They discover their curse gives them powers they never could have imagined. It won’t be long however before they learn the greater cost of their actions and of a great darkness rising in the world. If the Sins cannot be imprisoned once more they will pave the way for Hell on Earth. Can a group of scalawags and misfits inspire others to stand with them, defeat those controlled by the Sins, the demons themselves, and stop the devil in his tracks?
