Silas has annotated this guide with details from his own voyages. He notes the “Glasses of the Sun” were invaluable for spotting distant ships and navigating in harsh sunlight. The “Speaking Shell” allowed for discreet communication with his crew. He describes the “Rod of the Legendary Mariner” as a reliable tool for ensuring safe drinking water on long voyages. And details the “Everfull Sails” as a boon for swift travel, allowing him to outrun pursuers and chase down prey with ease.
