Actions | Requirements | Effects | Notes |
---|---|---|---|
Agree to carry the August Travel-Writer to Gaider's Mourn
He's prepared to pay handsomely for transport, and is keen to commission your ship, specifically. |
|
Welcomed aboard
The August Travel-Writer shakes your hand. His grip is distressingly strong. "Thank you. It's Gaider's Mourn I'm bound for first," he says. "I hear they - ah!" He hurries over to your stoker, who is carrying his steamer trunk up the gangplank. "No need to trouble yourselves. Give it here. Remember, Addressed As - Gaider's Mourn! I'll pay you a hundred and fifty echoes when we arrive."

|
Agree to carry the Gnomic Gallivant to the Cumaean Canal or the Iron and Misery Funging Station - or both!
"History is a horse! Who will prick it with their spurs?" he cries to no one in particular. "A drop of blood may be as precious as a ruby!" |
|
Welcomed aboard
He puffs out his chest. Ruby studs gleam in the lamplight. "I knew London had enterprising souls still left in it. I am seeking truths, Addressed As, which - I am told - I may find in the Iron and Misery Funging Station, and the Cumaean Canal. Ideally I'd learn both, but I could settle for one. For at Port Cecil, there will be a contest. And we will change the world with a game of chess. A king will fall!"

|
Agree to carry the Anxious University Student to Hunter's Keep
He has no money, so the other captains have no interest. But he's a passionate youth, and promises that his studies on lorn-flukes will be rewarding enough. |
|
Welcomed aboard
He jumps for joy as you agree to take him aboard. "Thank you, thank you! Please, take me to Hunter's Keep right away. A lorn-fluke - a full, dead lorn-fluke! - washed ashore. I'm doing my thesis on them - do you know they can digest human memory? - and I may never have a better chance to study one up close."

|
Agree to carry the Unsettled Salvager to Venderbight
She visits Wolfstack every day in zee-stained rags, begging for passage. No captain will look her in the eye. |
|
Welcomed aboard
She embraces you. "I'd kiss you Address As, but my beloved is prone to jealousy. We were parted, but the ancient captains at Vernderbight will know where she is."
