[Crow's Nest] A Strange Tale from the Great Ocean

It seems our old blacksmith friend in Velia has heard quite an outrageous tale! A "strange tale regarding the Great Ocean", he says. He's just dying to tell you, apparently. We should see if that's true, hehe! The only time I've seen him this excited is when he's talking about hammers. And we both know he loves hammers! This could be interesting, so let's find out more.

It seems our old blacksmith friend in Velia has heard quite an outrageous tale!

It's good to see so many youngsters these days setting sail on the Great Ocean. Makes the old village feel alive again, full of vigor and sea-faring tales of adventure. It's nice to forget about hammers every now and then. Feel young again, you know. And I got to admit, I do envy their courage at being able to just set off like that. So, not long ago, I was at the Dancing Marlin Tavern. You know, Proix's drinking hole. Well, I heard a strange tale and thought immediately of you. Although quite frightening, I got the feeling there was truth to those words. And knowing you have a knack for adventure, I reckoned I'd give you a shout.
