My General, have I failed this mission you entrusted to me? I rode tirelessly southwards through these lands. I was not able to use your pass with the barbarian tribes I came across; they spoke an incomprehensible language and proved to be hostile. I occasionally had to use my sword to cut my way through, choosing to avoid human contact from them on. Then the mountains, valleys and plains gave way to a vast expanse of saltwater. General, I am going to die without knowing the answer to my question. Have I failed my mission? Soldier Efcharisto, approximately 310BC “Tormenta.” “Show me the object.”
