Exploration

As your quest begins, steer your ship, by clicking left mouse button, to any of the island. When ship docks near island, you must initiate exploration, as only small boat can swim through the coral reef. (Image left) Don’t worry you will not be on your own, you can always rely on someone from your loyal crew to join you. Select character and then point at the docked island and your quest will begin.

Crew:

Writer - If you feel strong in writing and crosswords, select your official royal writer to join you on quest. While he is writing short journal you will need to complete the task. Knowledge of yours will expand immaculately and General’s question will be far simpler to answer.
Cartographer –Perhaps you feel better with puzzles and logical games. If the answer is yes, carographer should assist you on your quest. Tasks will not be difficult but General... well he might be tough to convince.
Ratboy – Oh our clumsy Ratboy, oh well he is not exactly intellectual type, hover he is good runner and always loyal to your cause. He does not draw or write, therefore before selecting him mind fact that you are there to learn and after exploration quest you must convince General. Trust me it will be difficult if you won’t keep your eyes open and tried to memorize facts.

Islands

There are six mysterious islands on these unknown seas surrounding our port. Each one of them must be explored in order to complete the game and obtain highest possible Sea Rank. You have only one chance to complete Island’s quest but don’t worry most of them has no time limitation and allow you to try again. What you are waiting for selects your crew member and begins your quest.
