You step aboard one of them, another spirited adventurer in the crowd, and spend months at sea from docks to coasts, continents to isles, to steam across a windless sea under an endless night sky.

Without hesitation you leave it behind and vanish into the forest, wanting simply to dedicate your life to exploring the interior of the continent.
