Read the first page To Whom it may Concern, I hereby record my full and honest confession in the hopes of absolution in Her Enduring Majesty's Service.	-	In May, my brother Richard and I took service on the Bonny Swan- he as bosun, I as navigator. The captain, Swinburne, was a good man, but ambitious. When we reached Kingeater's Castle our supplies were low, but we pressed on in the hope of finding land. There was none. Learning About: The Sigil-Ridden Navigator = 52 (if ≤ 50) [Speak to your Navigator to learn of his confession.]
Read the second page Our stories nearly depleted, we turned back - and here I committed the first of my crimes.	Learning About: The Sigil-Ridden Navigator ≥ 52 [Speak to your Navigator to learn of his confession.]	I mistook my readings and set a bad course. For days we steamed north-west - not west - into the empty dark. our supplies ran out, and still no sign of port. Hunger set in, and terror, and what I pray was madness. Ravening, desperate, raving, we agreed to draw lots, with the loser giving up life and flesh so the others could go on. Learning About: The Sigil-Ridden Navigator = 54 (if ≤ 52) [Speak to your Navigator to learn of his confession.]
Read the third page The first of us to draw the short straw was the captain. The second was my brother.	Learning About: The Sigil-Ridden Navigator ≥ 54 [Speak to your Navigator to learn of his confession.]	My dear, solemn, solid Richard. There were more after. Seven times we drew. Seven of our number went into the pot, and not a one of them quietly. Those of us who made it back to port swore never to speak of our crime, but one of us - someone whith a keener conscience than mine - confessed. I fled the noose to zee again. I regret it all. I will do anything. Please. Learning About: The Sigil-Ridden Navigator = 60 (if ≤ 54) [Speak to your Sigil-Ridden Navigator to hear his last request.]
Read the fourth page Here he scribbled his later note, when the Admiralty failed to select him for absolution through service. You did not answer. If I cannot be forgiven, then I will forget. The Chapel of Lights will help me, for a price.	Learning About: The Sigil-Ridden Navigator ≥ 60 [peak to your Sigil-Ridden Navigator to hear his last request.]	His eyes meet yours when you look up from the page They are dull as old iron. I am done, Addressed As. I am done. I have one last thing to ask of you. Redirects to: Speak with your Navigator
