	Over fifty Imperial captains have doggedly sailed straight on for glory for the last two seasons, eager to claim the winner's laurels. The servants of ''Shimmergold'' have claimed ~~that~~ that those who stay the course will find glory, but this season the journey has brought only disaster. Those who chose this course have been assailed by monstrous storms, their vessels attacked by terrifying winds that have shredded sails and shattered masts. Most have barely stayed afloat as massive waves attempted to capsize the ship and drag it under.		Over fifty Imperial captains have doggedly sailed straight on for glory for the last two seasons, eager to claim the winner's laurels.

Those who chose this course have been assailed by monstrous storms, their vessels attacked by terrifying winds that have shredded sails and shattered masts. Most have barely stayed afloat as massive waves attempted to capsize the ship and drag it under.

	Even with the help of heralds of the ''Lord of the Argent Rime'', each ship has only narrowly escaped certain destruction. Every crew has had to patch their ship as best they can, rigging a temporary mast and single sail, and limping back to port. Expensive and time-consuming repairs have consumed most of the wealth earned on this voyage, leaving little to spare. All that most have to show for their efforts is a single [[magic items\|magical item]], a unique [[Magic_items#Talismans\|talisman]] that will maintain its magic for the next year. This is apparently a gift from the eternal themselves; the [[Second_star#Who_You_Are\|more powerful]] the personal enchantment they had cast, the more powerful their talisman will be. Along with this is a single ''tourmaline eye''. Some of these orb-like jewels are red, some are green and some are blue - but other than that they appear to be much the same.

	The world is vast, and filled with wonder - captains might know how to navigate to the [[Principalities of Jarm]] or the [[Sarcophan Delves]] but all the great powers of the world are located on huge continents, the vast reaches of which no Imperial citizen has ever set eyes on. Some captains have discovered a previously unknown location on one of the known continents, some have found a strange island or simply a place on a smaller landmass.		The world is vast, and filled with wonder - captains might know how to navigate to the [[Principalities of Jarm]] or the [[Sarcophan Delves]] but all the great powers of the world are located on huge continents, the vast reaches of which no Imperial citizen has ever set eyes on. Some captains have discovered a previously unknown location on one of the known continents, some have found a strange island or simply a place on a smaller landmass.

	In addition to visiting this unique location, each captain has gained a map showing some of ~~the~~ the coastline of the lands they sailed near. The heralds of the ''Endless Voyage'' claim that as the journeys of each captain has been unique, so each captain's map will likewise be unique. By working together, captains might be able to piece their maps together to produce some kind of rough atlas. That will likely be a lot of work, but then sailing half-way round the world was no easy venture! At the very least, those captains who have completed this leg of the journey are likely to have a fragment of map that will be of great interest to Imperial cartographers.
