Background
The following accounts can be traced to a single leather-bound journal originally found in a locked wooden chest alongside a sextant-like device of indeterminate origin and a shell that matches no known species of mollusc. The chest was located in a storage room in the Legscraper’s lower levels that was described as “smelling faintly of the sea”. Subsequent attempts to locate and navigate to said room have been unsuccessful thus far. The journal details the exploits of the crew of a large sailing vessel, The Tokyo Adrift, descriptions of which are largely consistent with mid-17th century galleons.
With The Tokyo Adrift
Silvaire Semiquaver served as quartermaster aboard The Tokyo Adrift. The writer describes her as “single-handedly running the lower decks of the ship” and “preferring to keep to the shadows below deck”. One entry delves into Semiquaver’s origins, describing her past experience captaining her own ship before it ran aground in a freak accident, which the quartermaster describes as “a disgrace” and “I’m going to run him through with my cutlass if I ever see him again”. Semiquaver claims to hail from the Port of Tele, though historical records have been unable to confirm the existence of any settlement by that name. The journal retells rumours heard from other crew members that Semiquaver made a name for herself plundering ships for artifacts of great cultural import, only to return them to their rightful owners, though evidence for these claims is difficult to source.
Semiquaver is depicted as being on good terms with most of the crew, though some were intimidated by her. Val Hitherto in particular was mentioned in several entries as "squabbling with the quartermaster over matters of little import".
Semiquaver is described as playing a pivotal role in the events of 1667, personally sustaining [REDACTED] when the captain and first mate [REDACTED] as detailed on the last page of the journal. The aforementioned page is heavily damaged however, with the lower half seemingly soaked in a dark black substance that chemical analysis has yet to match to any ink or pigment from the time period. Thus, the exact details of the 1667 tragedy and Semiquaver’s involvement remain largely speculative.
