Greetings, Commander, First, the positive news: Through the combined efforts of the Tyrian Alliance, the Astral Ward, and several volunteers from the lowland kodan community, we have managed to push through Janthir's northern isles into the outskirts of Bava Nisos. Now for the—I'll put it diplomatically—less positive news: Despite our progress, we've been unable to access the city itself. We have teams surveying the area as we speak. But, as is often the case, we'd benefit from your assistance. I ask that you head to Janthir Syntri to rendezvous with Isgarren, Waiting Sorrow, and myself at Thunder Bay Point. Fair warning that reaching the location will require some involved travel. Waiting Sorrow offered Poised Arrow transport via teleportation, but he was eager to travel by sea. Considering your seafaring experience, we thought it best to entrust you with safely transporting the cub. He will meet you at the launch point to make the trip. Anticipating your arrival, Countess Anise
