Welcome to the Coastal Realms! You find yourself at the entrance of a small, quaint village nestled between lush forests and rolling hills. The sound of distant waves can be heard, hinting at the nearby ocean. Where would you like to go first?

You make your way through the village, following a well-worn path that leads towards the sound of waves. As you approach, you see a wide river flowing into the vast ocean. Fishing boats bob gently near the shore. What would you like to do here?



## 3 | find a boat with a nice people and join them in their jorney

You approach the docks and spot a friendly-looking crew preparing their boat for a journey. The captain, a weathered woman with a warm smile, notices you and waves. "*Looking for adventure, stranger? We're setting sail soon. Care to join us?*"



## 4 | I'm asking there are you going, who are you and how can I help?. You also find a map in your pocket.

The captain introduces herself as Mira. "*We're headed to the Oceanside City for trade. I'm Mira, and this is my crew. We could use an extra hand if you're willing.*" She points out key locations on your map. Where do you want to focus your attention?



## 5 | tell me your story, how did you become a captan?

Mira's eyes twinkle with memories. "*Ah, it's a tale of storms and pirates, lad. Started as a deckhand, worked my way up. Saved the old captain's life during the Pirate King's Reign. He retired, gave me the helm.*" She pauses, gazing at the horizon. "*Any other questions?*"

Mira chuckles, her face a mix of pride and determination. "*It wasn't easy, lad. Faced plenty of doubters and naysayers. But the sea doesn't care about your gender, only your skill and grit. I proved myself time and again.*" She leans in, "*Any crew who couldn't handle a woman captain? They weren't worth having anyway.*"
