Limsa Lominsa “Legends Adrift”

Shaku’s Journal Entries

Baderon has provided me with invaluable information about Emerick. It seems the young man was once rumored to be held prisoner on one of the Knights of the Barracuda galleons anchored far offshore from Limsa Lominsa. Captain Hob, whose ship is in port near Fisherman’s Bottom, might be able to take me to the Barracuda ship. I had best make preparations for a rough sea voyage before speaking to him.

I convince Captain Hob to ferry me to the Barracuda galleon, but as soon as I arrive, I spot a Sahagin ship closing fast on my position. I follow Hob into the galleon’s hold and locate Emerick before the beastman arrive.

I find Emerick on the lower decks, but soon realize that I am not the only one searching for the young Kraken. Merodaulyn of the Sanguine Sirens has also come for Emerick, murder bright in his eyes. I follow the two up onto the main deck.

When I step out onto the main deck, I find Merodaulyn and Emerick engaged in mortal combat. I feel the need to assist one of them… but which one? I select a side and join the battle.

I was successful in bringing an end to Merodaulyn and Emerick’s affray, only to realize that the two parties were merely putting on a charade. Before this revelation has time to sink in, however, the enigmatic Y’shtola arrives and begins asking questions. Unfortunately, she has little time to glean sufficient answers from the two pirates before the Sahagin launch their assault on the Barracuda fleet. After being swallowed by a rogue wave, I awaken to find myself washed up on one of Limsa Lominsa’s docks, Y’shtola’s words still ringing in my mind-”find the key.” Perhaps a long sit-down with Baderon would help bring light to today’s events.

Baderon mentioned helping Hob out of his predicament at the Coral Tower, but he also implied there may be something at a certain outcrop on the coast of Bearded Rock that may shine light on Y’shtola’s cryptic warning. It might be best to travel there before visiting the Barracuda’s headquarters.

Baderon has contacted me via linkpearl and told me that to avoid trouble, it would be wise for me to turn myself in to the Knights of the Barracuda before they come looking for me themselves.

The Coral Tower is abuzz with reports of a Sahagin attack on the naval fleet. I speak with Isaudorel to turn myself in.

Upon my surrender, Isaudorel takes me before Commodore Reyner. After telling him the tale of my ship being attacked by a Sea Serpent, Commodore Sthalmann arrives and reports his men used an artifact from Mealvaan’s Gate to drive the beast back to the abyss. He also informs Reyner that they plan on arresting one Y’shtola for the crime of espionage. I follow Sthalmann to the God’s Grip to learn his true intentions.

Upon arriving in the Gods’ Grip, I find myself witness to a battle unfolding between Knights of the Barracuda Commodore Sthalmann and mysterious Sharlayan envoy Y’shtola─the woman claiming that Sthalmann is to surrender to her a powerful “key” that the commodore has acquired by means most unjust. Neither side willing to yield, the world is suddenly enveloped in a bright light. When my sight returns, I find myself in the same place I was before, yet something seems amiss. I investigate the area around me and see if I cannot make some sense of all this.

Out near the sea, I spy Sthalmann, Merodaulyn, and Emerick holding a hushed conversation, and wonder what the commodore of the thalassocratic navy and two pirates from rival crews could be scheming. Upon further investigation, it turns out that the three have contrived a plan to claim the treasure of Seal Rock for themselves and use it towards their own gain. Before I can learn more, however, I find myself back in front of Y’shtola and Sthalmann. Y’shtola seems bemused by my appearance, and claims that I have the ability to view the happenings of the past. Perhaps a portent of ill things to come, a meteor shower erupts from the roiling skies, raining light down upon me and the others. Its end is marked by the appearance of a strange man who wrests the key from Y’shtola and claims “power as this does not belong in the hands of your kind” before vanishing again. I lose consciousness soon after.

I awaken to find myself in the Mizzenmast Inn, knowing not how I arrived back in the city, but seeming to recall a concerned voice speak of “the Echo.” After speaking with Baderon, I learn a man named Blackburn carried me to the inn after finding me passed out near the God’s Grip. The man supposedly has already left Limsa Lominsa, but entrusted the Wench proprietor with a message telling me to visit the Path of the Twelve, located in the Merchants Ward of Ul’dah, a desert city far to the east.
