Dialogue

Bahar Dialogue

Not all those ships are headed to Oquilla's Eye.
There are those who want to explore despite the danger
but there are merchants like me who want to establish a stable trade route.
Have you heard of bartering?
I'm sure you know what it means.
It's a lot of work managing time and the stock
but it's not bad for clearing out the storage.
That feeling when you set sail with a boat full of goods
hopping from island to island meeting barterers,
and returning home with an empty ship and handful of rare Crow Coins!
I celebrate those nights with some
crispy grilled bird meat and a pint of cool dark beer.
I'm preparing the goods to barter tomorrow.
We have to be diligent because the items you can barter change at dawn.
If you're interested in the Great Ocean, you should talk to Zaaira.
It seems like she has a lot of books about it.
Perhaps you can get something from there.

Bahar Dialogue (Alt)

I'm occupied at the moment preparing to barter.
I suggest you talk to Zaaira.

Zaaira Completion

"Truth Behind the Golden Sand Mountain,"
"All You Need Is a Ship,"
and "The Legend of Oquilla's Eye."
Wow, don't these titles make you curious?
