	You are awoken shortly after dawn by the sound of a 
Š	plaintive voice echoing across the rooftops of the 
Š	city. It is the cry of a Vassa Elder and he is 
Š	calling the faithful of Barrakeesh to early morning 
Š	prayer. You gather together your equipment and 
Š	Fernant's servant brings you a bowl and a pitcher of 
Š	water so that you may refresh yourself before sharing 
Š	breakfast with Oriah and the Lord-lieutenant.
	
	After breakfast, Fernant oversees the loading of bags 
Š	and other personal items aboard his mule-drawn 
Š	carriage. Then an hour before noon the three of you 
Š	leave for the quay and go aboard the ιPride of 
Š	Sommerlundι. At first Captain Raker is unhappy about 
Š	transporting Oriah, arguing that the presence of a 
Š	beautiful young woman aboard his ship will distract 
Š	his crew from their duties. However his objections 
Š	quickly evaporate when Fernant offers to pay him 
Š	twenty Gold Crowns for her passage to Bisutan. 
	
	The ship leaves Barrakeesh on the noon tide and makes 
Š	swift progress ahead of a favourable southerly wind. 
Š	But by dusk the wind has dropped, and Raker decides 
Š	to spend the first night at anchor in a protected 
Š	cove a few miles to the east of Chula. The night 
Š	passes peacefully and you wake at dawn to a 
Š	spectacular sight.
