An exchange of letters (translated from Khaganian) between the Aegis and the Saraana, delivered via blue prophet:
Kid's dead (for now). Ship's under repair, along with part of Wolfstack. One of the damnedest things I've seen in all these years - a glim-fall right at the docks. Everyone else is patched up. Update to follow whenever he comes back, which shouldn't be long according to the doctor. No need to come check in.
Thank you. I'm glad they're in good hands. Altan, when you read this, let us know how you're feeling. And perhaps pray for better luck, as I will. [in a different, messy hand] I would tell you not to scare us like that, little fish, if it wasn't an accident. What a story, though! Any glim-scars? We won't come by just yet, but we'll have to get together again soon and have a look. We love you. Get well soon.
Doing well. All limbs, eyes, etc still where they should be. Thanks for the prayers. I'll make a proper offering soon as I'm out of bed. Just the one scar, on my leg right above the ship tattoo. Adds to it, I think. Here's the article, since I know you'll want to read it. [enclosed is a newspaper clipping about the recent spectacle of an unlucky captain's death at Wolfstack Docks.] Love you. See you soon.

pirate majima game is funny...watching people complain abt rgg ruining majima is super funny because he's been a silly guy for like 7 games and a serious guy in one...can he not be silly again...just once more??? (also im sure this game is gonna be emotional in some way shape or form) also k3 heads stay in line yokoyama said it was coming one day he never said soon lol
'k3 heads stay in line' PLEAAASSEE VJLKEALKJ youre right tho i cant lie ....
on the real though yeah no like. majima can be serious at times but generally he's a zany guy, it'd be illegal not to capitalize on that in SOME regard

I think, perhaps one of the funniest things to come from EPIC popularising the Odyssey is that now a ton of people think Poseidon wanted to kill Odysseus.
In the Odyssey, Poseidon has no intention of killing Odysseus. In fact, part of the whole reason Zeus lets Poseidon do whatever he wants even though he thinks Odysseus is rad and should get to kiss his wife is explicitly because Poseidon had no intentions of killing Odysseus. Poseidon wanted to pay back the suffering/inconvenience blinding Polyphemus would have caused. It's a really abstract thing tbh. How do you pay back someone permanently disabling your son? Poseidon's solution was just to amputate Odysseus from his other half; i.e. Penelope. The end game was never murder, it was always an endurance race.
(Od. Book 1: Zeus reassuring Athena that he is not, in fact, a part of Odysseus Hater-Nation. Trans. Robert Fagles)
Also, for those wondering if there's any sort of in text reason for why Poseidon wasn't around in God Games - at the time in the Odyssey when Athena petitions Zeus to let Odysseus leave Calypso's island, Poseidon was -checks notes- on vacation in Ethiopia. Yep. He left to Ethiopia for a festival and thusly was very much absent for Athena's whole "please let Ody go? Please? 🥺" request.
(Od. Book 1: While Odysseus was suffering, Poseidon went to party in the east)
I am begging y'all to read the Odyssey. It's a comedy for everyone except Odysseus and Penelope who are, in fact, suffering 24/7 365.
