[Quest] Help Barnaby return safely to White Harbor for a payment of 50 silver coins. [Quest description] The Sea of a Thousand Islands connects the New and Old Continents. Merchant ships laden with spices pass through in an endless stream, and it is a paradise for adventurers and criminals alike. Gold and commissions are never in short supply here.

The reason was simple. The thriving human nations of today had all been founded on new
