Accepting the quest:

Soroban: Now, in order to reach the shores of Othard, you will need to cross the resplendent waters you see before you. However, this is easier said than done.
Soroban: To set forth without making the necessary preparations is to invite the Confederacy to claim your vessel─and your life should you resist.
Soroban: But this fate can be avoided by paying the Ruby Tithe, thereby earning you the blessing of the pirate lords.
Soroban: So─let us go and greet them. Our destination is the isle to the west.
Lyse: That doesn't look very far to me. [Forename], why don't we jump in and swim for it? I've had my fill of boats.
Soroban: Hmm, an excellent idea! I think you shall find the water to your liking.
