Summary: We start off Palom’s tale on a ship heading to Troia.
Backstory shows us that he’s very reluctantly heading to Troia at the
Elder’s behest to train a new Epopt. Usually this is a white mage’s
gig, usually Porom’s, but the Elder’s working some game here.

Ship
-A ship heading west, with fishermen
-“Captain, how much longer do we have to keep putting up with that
brat?” LOL – Palom grew in power, but also grew in assholitude.
-Yeah, he’s complaining that the sailors aren’t catching him enough fresh fish.
-Still, it’s a specific brand of assholitude. He doesn’t like being
called “Lord” by someone much older than him. There’s something at
least a bit admirable there. He’s no Joffrey.

Prayer Dais
-Porom and the Elder
-Palom, on hearing they’ve gotten request from a foreign nation for
help: “Another prayer job from some country trying to palm off its
problems on others, no doubt.” PALOM: founding member of the Tea Party
of Mysidia.
-Palom’s getting sent to train the Epopts.
-Why are the Epopts trying to learn black magic?

Ship
-Palom sees moon #2.
-“Palom’s Tale: The Mage’s Voyage” = very cool title!
-LOL Palom: “Are we there yet?”
-Apparently a large city recently fell under monster attack. I guess this is Baron.
-Another sailor: “I saw a falling star to the north.” Really cool to see
the partial information from different tales come together.
-Weird. This trip is a month long, but was supposed to take a week. The compass sounds like it broke. Moon-related?
-Ah! This is the ship near the Tower of Trials I saw in Izayoi’s mission.

Next time: Troia.
