Diary of Thrasios
Story, common
Price: none | no sentimentality
A waterproof seaweed jelly covers this book, protecting it from the elements. Inside are diary entries detailing how to reach the lost ruins of a mythical polis known as Olantin, said to have achieved incredible technological advancements before Heliod smote the city for its hubris, causing it to sink below the waves.
Paid
You’ve heard of Thrasios. He’s a famous merfolk warrior who defends Meletis and speaks often of having visited Olantin, though most people don’t believe him. He must be spreading copies of his diary to encourage others to confirm his exploits.
Overpaid
Klothys whispers warnings hinting what terrors await in the sunken ruins, should you choose to indulge your curiosity.
