 * The adventurer shows Naja Salaheem the Ephramadian Gold Coin.

Naja Salaheem: <>! So, ya brought me some information on that ghost ship? And ya came to me first, instead of reportin' to that court puppetmaster. You're finally learnin' what it means to be a mercenary! Grrreat work! What did ya learn? Tell me everythin'. Then we can let Miss Aphmau know, and earn some gold stars for Salaheem's Sentinels! What's this? Ya met the ghost of a knight on Azouph Island...? So... from what he told you, the ghost ship everyone's been talkin' about is really the Black Coffin from the lost Kingdom of Ephramad? I was tryin' not to think about it when we were discussin' the request to find the ghost ship... But, ghost ships are usually full of ghosts... And I rrreally hate ghosts! I don't even want to imagine an army of spooks convergin' on the Black Coffin and plannin' rrrevenge on the Empire! In any case, that's enough of your stories, <>! Who did ya think would believe that bedtime tale, anyway!? There's no way I'm makin' a report to the palace based on some spook's ravin's!

Show Naja the Ephramadian Gold Coin? Choice was "I'll show her "bedtime tale"!

Naja Salaheem: Hm? What's this you've got? A gold coin you picked up at the ghost's headstone...? Hmmm... this is a high grade of gold to use for currency. I've never seen anythin' like it this day and age... !!!

Naja suddenly drops the coin and her Morgenstern.

Naja Salaheem: The crest of a crowned dolphin... Wasn't it a symbol of the Kingdom of Ephramad...? I can't believe ya found a prohibited coin from a nation obliterated two hundred years ago... Hm? Ah, that's right. You're ot rrreal familiar with the history of our country, are ya? Ordinarily, I would tell ya to look into it yourself, but... Since we have this important mission to consider, I'll let ya off the hook. Here's the story... A long, long tiome ago... about two hundred years, I guess... there was a tiny nation that commanded a formidable fleet and had amassed a fortune through trrrade. It was known as the Kingdom of Ephramad. Although small, this nation was powerful enough to compete with the already massive Empire of Aht Urhgan. But now... you'd be hard-prrressed to prove that place even existed. It was wiped off the map by the Empire. This city of Al Zahbi was not always the capital of the Empire. Big nations swallow little nations and expand their borders... Well, that's the end of your history lesson for today. Listen up, <>! The first concern of my employees is the glory of the Empire! How are ya gonna explain yourself to the Immortals if they find ya carrying around the coins of a defeated enemy nation? You're not gonna find a store that will take that coin, anyway, and findin' someone to melt it down prrresents its own mess of problems... Take this coin and throw it in the Cyan Deep before it gets ya into trrrouble!

Naja Salaheem hurls the Ephramadian Gold Coin at you!

Naja Salaheem: I seem to rrrecall askin' ya to find out about a ghost ship... Where the hell have ya been lookin'? Don't tell me you're never seen a ship before. Do ya even know where to find one?

Where do ships sail? Choice was "On the sea".

Naja Salaheem: Well, well. So, even though you knew where to find a ship, you were still foolin' around on land? You better start takin' this job seriously! Talking with you is like rammin' my head against a brick wall... They don't make mercenaries like they used to... Speakin' of which! There was another mercenary I sent after that ghost ship. He said somethin' about feelin' an "ominous presence" to the west of Dvucca Isle... Why don't ya go check out Dvucca Isle yourself, and take that coin with you. You can throw it in the water out there while you're gettin' your damn job done! And if ya come back with any more half-baked ghost stories, I'll take this morningstar and show you just how "affectionate" I can be!
