	A few captains have grumbled to heralds of Waverider that they were promised that the race would be dangerous and lucrative in equal measure. While there has been no shortage of the former, the latter has been in short supply. In reply, the heralds say their master, the Lord of the Rolling Waves promised no such thing, but they assure them that there will be a chance to profit from the race if that is their choice.

	Others are concerned that the heralds don't seem very interested in how quickly anyone has managed to complete their leg of the race. How will Rhianos know who has won the race if he doesn't know how fast anyone has gone? The heralds appear equally bemused by these questions. ''Lightning Fish'' said "The winner will be the captain whose crew have the best time over the four legs of the race. Why in the seven seas would it matter in the slightest how ''fast'' you were going?"

	We encourage you to make up tall tales of the extraordinary journey you have been on. Rhianos heralds will have led you to one of Jarm, ~~Summaah~~, the Commonwealth, the Sarcophan Delves or Asavea, but the route will have been tortuous and plagued with dangers. You may have encountered and fought [[legendary beasts]], risked death as you sailed past whirlpools or been boarded by pirates. Whatever excitements the journey has brought, the weather will have been tumultuous - the storms, gales, and hurricanes have not been constant, but almost nobody who undertook the journey has sailed on calm waters.

If you wish to have had this healed before the event begins, you may return it to GOD unopened, but otherwise you will need to get the injuries you suffered at sea treated at the event.

	Last season [[Rhianos]], the ''Regent of the Eternal Sea'', announced the beginning of a great race - to visit the four corners of the known world. Having been challenged by the Summer Archmage, the ''Lightning Fish'' agreed to hold a contest, [[Famine_and_feast#Rhianos\|a race]], but one unlike any other. Rhianos has no interest in seeing who can be the fastest, so this race is one filled with peril and calamity where nobody ~~know~~ where they are going, how they are going to get there, or even if they will survive.

	Hundreds of [[fleet\|fleets]] from across the Empire have taken part in the first leg of the race, titled "Into the Unknown". Following directions provided by heralds of ''Waverider'', they have set sail on a perilous journey into the unknown. Oddly, for a race, it seems no two fleets have been sent the same way. Some report sailing beyond the lands of the [[Principalities of Jarm\|Jarmish]] princes in the [[The_seven_seas#Sea_of_Steel\|Sea of Steel]], while another found themselves adrift in an ocean clogged with seaweed far to the south.
