The Sailor's Treasure

I heard a fascinating tale while we've been here, Rover. Would you care to listen?

It's a fishermen's legend passed down for generations on this island. It speaks of Rinascita during the ancient Age of a Thousand Islands, when the Riccioli Islands were ruled by a sailor driven from his homeland.

This sailor possessed untold riches, yet no one knew the source of his fortune.

He used his vast wealth to build a citadel that brought peace and prosperity to the people of the land.

Just when they prepared to build a monument to honor him, he vanished without a trace.

Whispers claimed he sailed away to seek revenge for a dark past.

Before he departed, he left behind his most cherished treasures on these islands and set forth on a path of revenge, never to return.

I'm curious what kind of treasure a man like that would leave behind. It must've held great significance to him.

I knew you'd be intrigued! Perhaps we could seek out someone well-versed in these legends? They may hold the key to our quest.

The Acolyte? Back again so soon?

Mr. Toretto, we're here to learn more about the "Sailor's Treasure."

Since when did the Order start caring about treasure?

Err. No, actually...

Ah, spare me the details! Treasure hunters come and go, you lot are a dime a dozen. You'll end up empty-handed like the rest of 'em anyway.

Awfully sure of yourself, aren't ya? You know how long ago the Age of a Thousand Islands was. Besides that old legend, there's not a sliver of evidence proving any of it is true.

Without real clues, it's just a wild goose chase. The islands have already been turned upside down by those treasure hunters, and not a single coin has been found.

Other stories, you ask? Lemme see... There's the Wandering Gondola. Or there's the Master of the Fish King...

Legend has it a sailor arrived here in a Gondola. Even after he disappeared, it still drifts among these islands waiting for his return.

What do you make of the clues, Rover?

Finding that Gondola might be a good start.

Good idea. The sailor may have vanished, but if his Gondola is still here we may be able to find some clues.

...

They seems to know something! It may be trying to guide us in a certain direction... Shall we go take a look?

...

I never expected to actually find something... This appears to be...

There looks to be something inscribed inside the chest. Hmm... It's hard to make out. The script is unfamiliar to me.

Ah, well met, friends! What's this ye've got there?

So, ye're telling me this here chest is from that legendary sailor?! Let me have a look.

Hmm... there's a seal coverin' up these inscriptions. Can't get a good look at 'em. Heh, but watch me!

See that? It's an old trick we used to write hidden messages. Now we can read what it says.

"No victory is instant. The truth must be pieced together bit by bit."

It seems like... we need to gather the rest of this map to find the treasure.

Let's keep our eyes peeled from now on, Rover.

I wonder what that sailor left behind. Endless riches? Ancient relics?

Or perhaps... a Fish King?

Huh? Hahaha. Never thought I'd hear that from an Acolyte!

That's mighty generous, but I'm content with me lot in life. Whatever you find, keep it for yerselves!

"Someone has surely found that legendary sailor's treasure by now."

"If you can't see it, just try squeezing some waterweed juice onto it."

"What? Any waterweed will do. Do you think a sailor has time to be choosy?"

"No victory is instant. The truth must be pieced together bit by bit."

"Search for all the scraps of that treasure map. Piece it together, and who knows what you might discover?"
