Yes, when we were married, she admitted - certain predilections. I wish... but I know how it is for a zee-captain. I would have forgiven her anything, if only she had returned to me.

You're sure? Of course. Of course. I don't mean to question your honesty. But red honey! I'm sorry. I need a moment to collect my thoughts..." "You know: her captors let her write to me.

She would pursue an escaping enemy to the very North of the zee, never mind the Isle of Cats. Of course she knew it would doom her some day. Thank you." "You know: her captors let her write to me.

Irem, the Isle, and now here. You have your zailors bring the box in, and the Widower whispers the opening phrase. It clicks open with a sound as sweet and precise as a well-answered riddle. He takes a breath and flings back the lid. A soul glowing like a hidden star. Heaped sapphires from the Elder Continent. A Presbyterate heart-cup. A water-stained journal, blurred to near-unreadability - an account of a failed expedition to the Mountain of Light... The Widower looks them over. Abruptly, he snatches the heart-cup, and shoves the box towards you. "Too many memories, [[Addressed As]]. I'll keep this one memory only. You deserve something. You crossed the zee to find the truth for me. Here. Take them, and leave me now." He turns away. <ul> [[File:SS implicationsmall.png|23px]] <span style='color:green;'>+1</span> x [[Extraordinary Implication]]<p></p> [[File:SS bottledsoulwhitesmall.png|23px]] <span style='color:green;'>+1</span> x [[Judgements' Egg]]<p></p> [[File:SS sapphiresmall.png|23px]] <span style='color:green;'>+2</span> x [[A Casket of Sapphires]]<p></p> [[File:SS box2small.png|23px]] [[Whisper-Locked Puzzle-Box]] = 0<p></p> [[File:SS box2small.png|23px]] [[Objective: The Box from the Sea]] = 0<p></p> <ul> | rowspan='3' | ''Game note: <span style='color: teal'>Or you could keep the box to open it yourself: use it from your inventory if so.</span>''<p></p> |- | style='background: #002020; border-bottom: 1px solid #A36A00;' align='center' | <span style='color:orange;'>Rare event (50%)</span> |- | <span style='color:white'>'''A breath and a click'''</span> You explain how the box came to you, and how you began this quest. Irem, the Isle, and now here. You have your zailors bring the box in, and the Widower whispers the opening phrase. It clicks open with a sound as sweet and precise as a well-answered riddle. He takes a breath and flings back the lid. Books of poetry, pamphlets of a racier nature. A velvet-wrapped collection of ivory Chelonate carvings. A Mirrorcatch box leaking sunlight. The Widower looks them over. Abruptly, he snatches one book and one carving, and shoves the box towards you. "Too many memories, [[Addressed As]]. I'll keep these memories only. You deserve something. You crossed the zee to find the truth for me. Here. Take them, and leave me now."
