Kanu on Aurora May
Kanu on Aurora May
Kanu
The Karui have no ships like the Aurora May. Our vessels are meant to travel between islands or to fish. But the Aurora May… phwoar… She feels like she could take us to the end of the world.
Warrior
She might have to.
Witch
Careful, you’ll jinx it.
Sorceress
The ships remind me of the carts back home. Always in motion. A masterful construction.
Ranger
I’ll take your word on that. Give me steady earth any day.
Huntress
It’s a wonder. The Azmeri got nothin’ like it.
Monk
You speak more truly than you know.
Mercenary
Better than the one I took out of Trarthus. Ripe old flotsam, that was.
Druid
She might well do.
Kanu
I’m just happy to live in times like these. I think about it sometimes, you know. What a day to be alive, to breathe in the air, feel the sun. Could be a lot worse.

Kanu on The Weapon
Kanu on The Weapon
Kanu
So what is this… {thing…} you’ve found? Seems only fair to ask, since we’re doing all the hard work sailing you around.
Warrior
It is one piece of an ancient Weapon. It may allow us to slay the Beast and put an end to Corruption.
Witch
Don’t you worry your pretty little head about that.
Sorceress
They tell me it’s a piece of an ancient Weapon. But… we shall see.
Ranger
It’s a piece of an ancient weapon. But I’ll keep the rest to myself, thank you very much.
Huntress
It’s part of some Weapon, though I don’t see how it all works yet.
Monk
This is a piece of a Weapon. A grand creation of unknown power.
Mercenary
Just another ancient thing I had to ‘acquire.’ All I do these days, really.
Druid
A piece of a Weapon. Ancient. Dangerous.
Kanu
Slay the who and end what?
Kanu
She called me pretty! D’you guys hear that?
Kanu
Alright, alright! Each to their own!
Warrior
It could save the world.
Witch
{Not…} what I {meant!}
Kanu
Oh. How interesting… I guess. So we’re riskin’ our necks for some old collector’s item, eh?
Warrior
It’s more than that. It could be our only way to fight back.
Sorceress
It is more than just some collector’s item. It could be what helps us save the world.
Huntress
Oh no… It’s much more than that. Could be what helps us save the world.
Monk
We do as we must. It could be our salvation.
Mercenary
Pretty much. But… could be what helps us save the world. Or somethin’.
Druid
It’s {hope,} lad. And on Wraeclast, hope’s a rare thing.
Kanu
Phwoar. That’s deep! Glad I’m on your side.
Kanu
Could be? So… it’s uncertain? Ah well, either way, we’re doing our part. Let’s see what happens!
: So… found more of that fancy Weapon, eh? Can I see it?
Warrior
We cannot touch it. The Hooded One keeps the pieces safe.
Witch
No. You cannot.
Sorceress
The Hooded One has it concealed… I dare not ask where. It cannot be safely touched by mortal hands.
Ranger
I don’t think so.
Huntress
Would show ya if I could. But they’re full of {rathin}.
Monk
That would not be a good idea.
Mercenary
Yeah, why not? I’ll bring it around at some point. I just don’t have it on me.
Druid
Unless you want to lose yer mind to Corruption… it’s best you don’t.
Kanu
Oh… okay. Well, the more I hear, the more curious I get. Can’t really blame me, I’m a simple fella. Something like this… entire generations come and go without having eyes on a thing so significant!
Warrior
So {now} you take it seriously?
Witch
So now you are interested in its power. Curious.
Sorceress
It is something to be taken seriously. Whether it works, remains to be seen.
Ranger
Why take it so seriously all of a sudden?
Huntress
So… you’re taking note of it now. Fair enough.
Monk
I see that you take it more seriously now.
Mercenary
Oh look, someone’s taking it all a bit more serious!
Druid
It’s just as well they do. This Weapon is no mere trinket.
Kanu
No kidding.
Kanu
The crew talks. I listen. Some of them heard that Doryabi guy arguing with the spooky one in the cape. It did sound all very serious.
Warrior
That’d be Doryani and the Hooded One.
Witch
Doryani. And the Hooded One. Fool.
Sorceress
You mean Doryani and the Hooded One.
Ranger
I think you mean Doryani and the Hooded One.
Huntress
Oh, Doryani and… the Hooded One?
Monk
Their titles are Doryani and… the Hooded One.
Mercenary
You mean Doryani and… oh well, whatever. Close enough.
Druid
Doryani and the Hooded One. Names worth rememberin’, lad.
Kanu
Yeah. Those fellas. Ah well. Good luck findin’ the other piece. We got your back!
Kanu
You found all the pieces, then? So… what now? Do they just sort of… snap together?
Warrior
If only it were that simple…
Witch
Yes, the ancient Weapon spread in pieces across the sea for thousands of years just {snaps together.}
Sorceress
We’re not sure yet… the Hooded One and Doryani are deliberating. Or arguing. Depends on their mood, it seems.
Ranger
Somehow, I don’t think we’ll be that lucky.
Huntress
Got no idea. Your guess is as good as mine. But it probably won’t be {that} easy.
Monk
It’s just another step in the puzzle of history. But this… is no easy puzzle.
Mercenary
I’ll suggest they try that. Chances are it’s a bit more complicated. Always is.
Druid
I’ve no idea, lad. But somethin’ tells me it won’t be so simple.
Kanu
Sheesh! What’s your problem?
Witch
You ask too many questions.
Kanu
Hmm. Yeah, guess you’re right. Nothing’s that easy, is it? Let me ask around, eh? Maybe somebody’s heard a rumour, or a myth. You never know.

Kanu on Introduction
Kanu on Introduction
Kanu
Watch your step, eh! Slip overboard and you’re on your own. I’m Kanu. First Mate of the Aurora May.
Kanu
If you’re lookin’ for a ship, best speak to the boss, Makoru. And mind your manners while you’re at it!
Kanu
If you’re after a ship and crew, you’ll need a charter. We don’t just work for anyone who shuffles aboard off the dock, you know! Speak to Rog about the charter. Yeah, he can sort you out.
Warrior
Well, quite the introduction. Good to meet you, Kanu.
Witch
Young Kanu. Confidence… or arrogance? Which is it? We may get along, depending on which you choose.
Sorceress
Good day, Kanu. You have such confidence. I hope you are a capable seafarer.
Ranger
You’re a boisterous one. But your smile seems… kind.
Huntress
Well, Kanu… quite the mouth you’ve got.
Monk
Please. No need for all the theatrics.
Mercenary
Alright, mate. Not looking for trouble, just a crew.
Druid
Yer full o’ bark, lad. We’ll see if you’ve the bite to match.
Kanu
Phwoar. Your voice is thick as a rock! Powerful. I won’t mess around with you after a few drinks, eh?
Kanu
Let’s wait and see. I have a way of growing on people, or so I’m told.
Kanu
My nana always said, a smile speaks a thousand words. Pleased to meet you, my lady.
Kanu
It’s gotten me in my fair share of trouble. And out of it, too.
Kanu
Hey, come on. Life is for livin’. Live loud - and die quietly, that’s what I say.
Kanu
Well, this crew does a good job of getting into trouble. So… guess you found both! I’m just having some fun. Welcome aboard.
Kanu
Yeah, that’s right. I’m the best!
Kanu
Hah! Plenty of both. You’ll see.
Huntress
Oh, I can imagine. One after me own heart.
Monk
Hmm. Not a bad mantra, I will admit.
Makoru
The best?
Kanu
Uhh… the second best!
Sorceress
Hah! Well done.

Kanu on Makoru
Kanu on Makoru
Warrior
The boss? You mean Makoru?
Witch
The boss? Address her by her name, why don’t you? Insolent boy.
Sorceress
By the boss you mean… Makoru?
Ranger
I assume by the boss you mean Makoru?
Huntress
Makoru is the boss, right? Stupid question really.
Monk
Makoru is the boss. I get it.
Mercenary
Makoru seems like a fitting boss.
Druid
Makoru’s the one you call ‘boss’?
Kanu
That’s right! Makoru’s the boss! But more than that… she’s a role model. A true leader. She showed the Kalguurans what the Karui have to offer. And honestly, I’m just lucky to be following in her footsteps.
Makoru
Alright, alright. You know flattery doesn’t work on me, Kanu.
Kanu
It is simply the truth!
Warrior
Keeping an entire crew sober and on their toes is no small feat.
Witch
I admire Makoru, yes. You, not so much.
Sorceress
You have done well, Makoru. There is no denying that.
Ranger
I respect you, Makoru. You lead with precision and knowledge. Not bluster.
Huntress
Aye. You’re an impressive leader, Makoru.
Monk
A true leader delivers more than just orders. You lead by a fine example, Makoru.
Mercenary
I can tell she knows what she’s doing. Can see the crew’s respect for her.
Druid
Aye. A fine boss she is.

Kanu on The Way
Kanu on The Way
Kanu
When the Kalguurans showed up, it brought a lot of tension to the tribes. Also brought doubt among the outer islands. My family left the Tasalio tribe when I was only a boy. They then joined the Tukohama tribe. My parents found hope in their message of strength.
Warrior
Did {you}?
Witch
You sound skeptical.
Sorceress
As they should. Did you feel the same?
Ranger
I suppose when you have children, you can’t afford to go it alone.
Huntress
And I ‘spose… you didn’t?
Monk
I can understand that. But did you find hope in that message?
Mercenary
Gotta give it to ‘im, he’s consistent.
Druid
Strength alone’s a poor compass.
Kanu
Well, look… I don’t reject the Way. It just feels different to me. Late at night, out on the sea… I can still feel what our old tribe called ‘the Flow.’ It’s real. It’s powerful.
Warrior
The Flow? Is that similar to the Way?
Witch
I’ve always felt a flow of energy underneath the world. Is it… like that?
Sorceress
The sea has a power?
Ranger
And what makes your ‘Flow’ different from the Way?
Huntress
What is it, this ‘Flow’?
Monk
Tell me more of this ‘Flow.’
Mercenary
Whatchu mean?
Druid
What {is} it, exactly?
Kanu
Oh… it’s hard to put into words… All I know is, Tavakai’s version of ‘The Way’ is definitely not something I can flow with. Tavakai doesn’t trust outsiders. He wants to drive the Karui further away into isolation. And that doesn’t feel right to me. Feels backwards. We should at least hear new ideas out. See what they can offer us.

Kanu on Tasalio Tribe
Kanu on Tasalio Tribe
Kanu
My family wasn’t always from these parts, you know. We came out here a few generations ago. I was always out exploring the waters and fishing, even as a young boy. That’s just in my blood. My family’s tribe… the Tasalio tribe… they value being on the water above all, but the young ones were never allowed to go very far. I used to drive my parents nuts. I looked out across the water… and oh boy, I wanted to keep going. But I never went too far. I couldn’t leave my family behind. Where {they} are… {that’s} my home.
Warrior
Home is wherever you can find those you care about.
Witch
It’s just an illusion, this ‘home’ people keep talking about.
Sorceress
Sometimes we do not value home until it is gone. I thought I didn’t need my home, but, in truth, it is difficult to be without it.
Ranger
Home is wherever you find yourself.
Huntress
Some of us don’t have a choice.
Monk
I understand. Home is where we ground ourselves.
Mercenary
I ain’t ever had a home. Just places to sleep where I probably won’t get stabbed.
Druid
And if you’ve no family? What then?
Kanu
That’s something I’d rather not think about.
Kanu
Sheesh. That’s grim.
Druid
Aye. Don’t blame ye…
Mercenary
I said {won’t} get stabbed.
Kanu
Well hey… here I am. And I’m thankful the boss showed me that I can make a new life for myself, one that I choose.
