Lighthouse Keeper Rockswell:
The goddess of the seas must be angry this year. The waves are particularly fierce, and that recent storm didn't look normal. Plus, they say that trade ships going to Giran have been shipwrecked in these parts. Tsk tsk ...
This is all because people have started to believe in that Einhasad religion or whatever, and stopped making offerings to the goddess who rules the seas.
