The Cortosi coast is one of the highest trafficked trading lanes in the world. Ships laden with goods ranging from exotic spices to rich silks to the most refined of metals and woods. There was nothing you couldn't find with in its waves trying to get from one place to another in this western part of the world. But that also made it filled with dangers. Pirates and storms often trapped fresh sailors as well as the experienced with in the many islands that called the coast home.
Acteon had taken the portal stone near Alliria to the one between Vel Anir and Falwood. He needed a ship and it was near the sea. A strange letter had come his way about a relative of his mother's passing away and it seemed he, or rather her children, were entitled to some kind of inheritance. He just had to go in person to receive it. An odd request but not unheard of within the noble community of the Cortosi coast. So he took a ship towards his before unheard of relative.

Acteon hated boats. They were vital but the rocking was frustrating. He just wanted to walk along the deck and get some fresh air outside of his cabin before he locked himself in for the full moon night. But no. He had to look like a fool trying to adjust to the sway back and forth of the ship in the waves. It was only big ships he had these issues with. Rowing a boat or moving along a river boat he was fine. Him on these ocean bound vessels and he hated his life deeply.
The good news for the near sea sick man was that one of the sailors called out land. A smallish island, at least in the context of it was still big enough to earn a place on more global maps, had come into view to the west. A good sign. Trundling about like some kind of court jester, Acteon approached the nearest sailor.
"Are we going to land soon to resupply?" The Allirian asked truly wishing for a yes.
"No. The islands around here are not lived on. Still a couple days out for a resupply." The sailor responded before getting their next task yelled at them.
Acteon scowled hearing the news and just anchored himself on the side of the deck. He hated sea ships but at least they were not riddles.
