Caste: Explorer Fleet

What tales shall I tell you, about the deeds of the greatest captain on the seas? Shall I tell you of trials he faced finding secret routes to travel to the Eastern Isles faster than any other captain, save his father? Shall I tell you how he matched wits with the Ancient Witch of the Empty Isles, stole into the heart of her tomb and took the treasure within? Or of how he risked his life and his crew to cross the great maelstrom ten years ago to save the Sarren and win the heart of her captain? Ah, but the best story is yet to come; of how the Talshren and the Sarren will go head-to-head to overcome the dangers of the Eastern Isles, brave the Beast Wall, and claim whatever is on the other end for the Aquienos people!

Eternity

Shortly after the Numinan War, Jinbe'Polaria'Fra oversaw the deconstruction of the Numina weapon in the starsea, long refered to as “the red moon”. But the mundane life in the post war era seemed to leave the captain ill at ease. After the birth of his first child, Jinbe'Polaria'Es'Mas and the passing on of his father the revenant Gol'Talshren'Fra, where it it is said in the fathers dying hours the pair put aside their difference, Jinbe resigned his commision in the war fleet, to travel with the Dolum crew on a great journey into the far East. From this journey non returned.

Correspondence from the insurers Quaric'Tomaus'Fra, Es'Mas and Di'Fra, dated 900 years after the defeat of the Numina

Dear Somenic'Kalthis'Es'Di'Mas

After reviewing your claim, and interviewing members of the erstwhile crew of the Intec, we regret to inform you that we will only be able to pay forty-three percent of amount of the value of the vessel. As you know, your policy covers loss of vessels and legitimate cargo due to adverse weather, piracy, wyrms, other sea monsters and finally, Acts of Sylphim. In this case we are obliged to reduce the amount paid on grounds of questions regarding the legality of some of your goods, and what we adjudge to be a high chance of negligence on the part of your proxies (to whit, the crew of the Intect). As you cannot fail to be aware, trade in Ehrli Lava Brandy was recently made illegal in both the Starfall archipelago and the Home Fleet, due to its capacity to induce intoxication via skin-contact, and on occasion, breathing in its presence. However, your quartermaster has produced records and correspondence indicating that you made instruction to obtain five barrels of said liquor from “contacts” on Starfall. It is our judgement that the presence of this beverage may have lead to your crew becoming intoxicated, and that this intoxication played a significant part in the loss of the vessel. We make this judgement for the following reasons.

When questioned as to why these were individuals were present at this time, the Intec's navigator referred us to a conversation he had with one Relock'Dolum'Fra (a description of whom can also be found in many historical texts regarding the Numina war). Apparently, Relock asked your navigator what year it was, and when your man replied, admitted that the crew of the aforementioned Cat-like boat might be “a little lost”.

Your sailors do you credit by, to a man, holding to the story that they were dropped off on the island by their rescuers, who then “flew off into the sunset”. However, based on the accumulated evidence, we do not consider that you have much grounds for an appeal against our decisions in this matter.

We hope you will continue to choose our firm for your insurance needs.

Kind Regards

Quaric'Tomaus'Es'Mas
