DestinationTitleDescription
185Feral Crocodile Hunting Grounds Your crew arm themselves with harpoons and sturdy metal crowbars, should they need to pry a companion from the creature's jaws. You are not far from London – this is the hunting ground of the crocodiles that have come to infest her shores.
281Angler Crab Spawning Grounds Your crew wear leathers and iron plates, anything to brace the brunt of a pincer attack. You zail the churning waters of the wide Unterzee, afroth with the spawning season of the fearsome angler crabs.
483Lifeberg Hunting Grounds Your crew have gathered a teetering pile of armaments and projectiles on the deck – anything that might harm a lifeberg. You zail the waters of the Salt Steppe, where a hungry island roams.

682Plated Seal Spawning Grounds Your crew are wrapped up in jumpers and oilskins. You zail the frozen waters of the northern Zee, where the plated seal is known to nest.
186Lorn-Fluke Occupying London's Home Waters Your crew man the guns, blinking through the smoke. You zail London's home waters, and seek a rampaging Lorn-Fluke. The lights of Wolfstack are still visible behind you when its spines hove into view.
481The Wake of a Midnight Whale Your crew [...] gazing in wonderment at the [...] Midnight Whale [...]. You zail the waters of the Salt Steppe, towards the Gant Pole.

Red-robed haruspices watch from [...] skiffs, keeping vigil over their [...] charge. [...] Constellations flower and dissolve beneath its peligin skin.
