Success
Matters Piratical
Success Instructions: During an earlier zee-battle with the Rowdy Corsair, you sank the Fluke's Folly and deprived the crew of their primary source of illegal income. But they're willing to turn the other cheek. If you fly the Corsair's Colours yourself and earn Plunder from bounties at zee, you just have to offer the crew a small cut. A trifling amount, really.If you haven't yet obtained any Corsair's Colours, explore Gaider's Mourn to learn more about the piracy here. After you've established your credentials as a buccaneer, you'll be able to hunt down bounties while zailing.
Hunting bounties (and performing other piratical actions) will reward you with Plunder. When you return to Gaider's Mourn after a successful hunt, your Plunder will be converted into Stashed Treasures, which you can then use to compensate the Rowdy Corsair's crew.
Once you obtain your own Corsair's Colours, you'll be able to learn more by reading a Piratical Primer while you're bounty-hunting at zee.

The Prophet's Call
Success Instructions: When you are zailing, attend to Matters Piratical and raise the Corsair's flag. Then consult with your Blue Prophet. If you are not currently pursuing another bounty, you will now be able to choose the Delight as a target.Once you finally make contact with the Delight, you will need to present your Blue Prophet as an offering. This will require a Whirring Contraption's components to create a cage. If you don't have any Whirring Contraptions, you should acquire one before meeting the Delight.
You can commission a Whirring Contraption at the Workshops of the Great Downward Engineering Company in the Bazaar Side-Streets.
