This is only my second guide so bare with me here. =============================================================================== =============================================================================== = 2 - JOURNAL FAQ = =============================================================================== =============================================================================== Q: What is the journal? A: The journal is a log of your adventures that record entries and discovery information found throughout the world. The journal is also a helpful tool in figuring out which discoveries you are yet to find in the game. Q: Where is the journal? A: From the Inventory Menu screen, go to "Next Page" and then go to "Journal". From there you can view your entries and discovery information. Q: When are journal entries entered into the journal? A: Journal entries are automatically entered into the journal after a critical point in the game, usually right after a boss fight or a long cut scene. Q: When are discovery logs entered into the journal? A: Discovery logs and information are entered immediately after finding a discovery. You do not have to report a discovery to the Sailor's Guild before the discovery information is entered into the journal. Q: How many discoveries are there? A: There are a total of 89. 88 regular discoveries are found throughout the world regularly. Only the 89th discovery must be "unlocked" after completing the three game secrets. Also, the 89th discovery (The "Golden Hamachou") is the only discovery that does not appear in the discovery logs. =============================================================================== =============================================================================== = 3 - JOURNAL = =============================================================================== =============================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - 3.1 - JOURNAL ENTRIES - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #1 -Strange Clothes- Who would have guessed that we would find a girl aboard a Valuan vessel? She said her name is Fina and she is wearing strange clothes, but she's quite pretty. Dad was a little stern with her at first, but it looks like she's staying with us tonight. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #2 -Leaving Home- The whole village was burned down... even the flowers that I was growing in front of my house. It's quite a shock to come home and find nothing. But, we can't just sit here and feel sorry for ourselves. We must save the others. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #3 -The Little Jack- We were rescued by a grumpy old man named Drachma. He treats people a little rough, but he let me take the helm of the Little Jack for a while. Our destination is a place called Sailor's Island. I hope he'll take us to Valua afterwards. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #4 -A passport!- Vyse and I won our first ship battle today! I've never been so nervous in my life! On the Albatross, we usually just boarded other ships But, since we escorted the merchant back to Nasr, we can finally get into Valua with the passport he gave us! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #5 -Valuan Inn- Aika was right... that kid Marco reminds me of myself when I was little. Just so much built up frustration... Once I was old enough to go sailing, I had a way to vent my frustrations, but Marco... Maybe tomorrow at the Coliseum, I can convince him to not give up. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #6 -New Adventures- Vyse and Aika have agreed to travel with me. I was told not to trust anyone before I set out on my quest, but... Somehow, I feel that I can trust them. They've done so much for me already. And... I've only had one friend other than Cupil before... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #7 -Desert Nights- I can't believe the Cap'n just left us out here in the middle of the desert. Well, this lady named Bellena agreed to lend us her ship... but for some reason, I can't trust her. Vyse can't stop drooling over her and it's really getting on my nerves... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #8 -Hrumph!- I can't believe myself. Why did i go out of my way to help these kids? I should be chasin' Rhakman... Maybe Vyse just reminded me of... What am I thinkin'. I must chase Rhakman. I have taken an oath. I will chase him until one of us is dead. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #9 -The New Land- I can't believe how much the Valuans are taking advantage of the people here! Why won't the king fight back?! But, this land sure is huge! It's going to be hard looking for the Crystal... And all Aika can think about if fruit. Sheesh. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #10 -Green Crystal- We have finally secured our second Crystal, the Green Crystal. I began thinking... I realized that the Gigas are nothing but tools. It is the hearts of men that use the Gigas for their own evil use. I must not fail on my mission... must not let Vyse down. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #11 -Marooned- I can't believe I've been stranded on a deserted island. Well, I suppose I shouldbe thankful enough that I'm still alive. I just hope Aika and Fina are okay, too. But for now, I need to think of a way to get off this island... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #12 -The Red Moon...- I look out of the window of our room here at the inn in Nasrad, and all I see is the Red Moon. I don't know what to do or where to go next, but I can't give up... Vyse could never give up. Vyse, where are you? I hope you're alright. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #13 -Captain Vyse...?- I can't believe that I'm the captain of the Delphinus. Honestly, I think it may be a little early for me to take on this responsibility, but I can't expect Enrique, the Prince of Valua, to lead a band of Air Pirates. I'll just have to try my best. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #14 -Cape Victory- I have bid Uncle Gregorio farewell and now face perhaps and even mightier opponent... the Dark Rift. It was difficult to face Gregorio... he had taken care of me all of my life but I made up my mind long ago... And I will not go back. I must stop Valua. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #15 -Yafutoma- I never would have thought that such a place existed... It is truly beautiful. Perhaps people were meant to live in harmony with nature as the people of Yafutoma do. It is a shame that the other Silvites do not feel the same way as I do... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #16 -A New Love?- That sure was a tough fight. First the Armada... then the Blue Gigas? I'm just glad we survived and managed to get the Blue Crystal, too! But that reminds me... is something going on between Enrique and Moegi? A prince and a princess in love? Hmm... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #17 -The World's Edge- I often wondered what the edge of the world would be like. But, what I found came as a big shock: there really isn't an "edge." The world is round. But, at least now I know. Well, next, we're off to the Lands of Ice... I wonder what it will be like... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #18 -Seperations...- Captain Drachma has decided to part with our company... indefinately. Perhaps the shock of watching Rhakman pass away hit too closely to his heart. Rhakman was nothing but a victim of the crimes of the Old World... and the Captain now knows it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #19 -Return to Valua- Upon returning to Crescent Isle, I made a personal decision: to return to Valua. Now that all of the Crystals are in good hands, my next task is to try to change Valua itself. Princess Moegi... Please forgive me for leaving you behind... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #20 -Ruins- Our new home... in ruins. I still can't believe it. But, at least nobody got hurt... we can just rebuild everything! Like Vyse always says, "Never give up!" I'm worried about Fina, though... I know I'd be shocked if Vyse changed like Ramirez... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #21 -Defiance- For the first time in my life, I acted in defiance against the Elders. But, I do not regret my decision. I cannot sit still while they destroy the world... the world that I have come to love so much. Even if it means that I must fight against Ramirez... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #22 -Whoa...- Galcian has raised an entire island from Deep Sky... I can't believe it. And I don't know how Vyse is planning on fighting this guy. Well, I guess we can only sit and wait for an opportunity. Heh... It's not like I've got anything better to do. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #23 -The Fateful Eve- I... I'm speechless. For probably the first time in my life, I don't know what to say. I never even dreamed that this many Air Pirates would come together to fight. Aika, Fina, Gilder, Drachma, Enrique... thank you all... Tomorrow, we make history. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #24 -The Final Entry- This will be my last journal entry. The future of this world hangs in the balance. We must fight Ramirez... and we must win. There are so many dreams left in this world... I can't let Ramirez destroy them all! I have faith in myself... and my crew. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - 3.2 - DISCOVERY LOGS - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #1 -Pirate's Grave- It appears that someone has scribbled onto the stone: "Here lies an unknown blue rogue". The actual name has been worn away by the wind, but the first letter, "D", can still be made out. Nobody remembers who rests here. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #2 -Guidestones- To the North The Imperial City (Caution: Low visibility) To the East The City of Sand, Nasr (Caution: Strong currents) To the West Sailors' Island (Caution: Too much loqua) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #3 -Sky Coral- Microorganisms called Sky Coral attached themselves to Moon Stone boulders and grew to form these reefs. They flourish only in very specific conditions, and can take 200 years to grow. Their various colors and shapes have long been valued for their beauty. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #4 -Silver Moon Pit- Only small islands such as Pirate Isle and Shrine Island lie in the area where Silver Moon Stones fall, so deposits this large are very hard to come across. Legends say that Silver Moon Stones hold the powers of life, but the truth remains unknown. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #5 -Topple Rock- A natural formation of three round rocks, stacked on top of each other and perfectly balanced. The balance seems delicate, especially when the rocks sway in the wind, but for some reason they have never toppled. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #6 -Wandering Lake- The truth behind the story of the disappearing lake is even stranger -- temperature differences make a large bowl of rock float above the desert sands, holding a lake of clear water. Once the water cools off, it settles downward again. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #7 -Oasis- As shipbuilding developed and flight distances grew, the oasis in the middle of the desert lost some of its importance to travellers. But it is still critical to caravans on land routes, and remains lively as a center of trade and information. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #8 -Sandfalls- Long ago, a yound Black Pirate searched the desert for the Isle that Spouts Treasure. After a long trek, he was shocked to find that it produced only sand. But he realized that the desert was the true treasure, and spent the rest of his years in Nasr. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #9 -Temple of Pyrynn- A stone building thought to have been created by an ancient dynasty. The stonework and construction demonstrate a high level of technology for that period, but no clues are left that point to the purpose behind these huge creations. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #10 -Beak Rock- A natural formation sculpted by the constant wind currents of South Ocean. Many a sailor's story tells of a giant bird flying south, or being attacked by a monstrous beak, but these are likely based on sightings of this rock. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #11 -Sky Anemone- A bizzare creature that lives its entire life attatched to a rock, stretching its tentacles out and waiting for prety to float by. It releases a sweet fragrance to attract fish, but larger ones have been known to endanger small ships. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #12 -Ixa'taka- Most people on this world do not even know that a continent exists across South Ocean. The discovery of this lush, rich continent with a long history has demonstrated the possibility that even more unknown, undiscovered lands may await. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #13 -Garpa Fruits- A vined plant that hangs from the bottom of the continent. Its stem contains a powerful hallucinogen, and it has been used for medical and religious purposes through the ages. It is also commonly used in local delicacies. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #14 -The Great Bird- The wings and tail of the Great Bird are said to indicate the equinoxes of the ancient Ixa'takan verdilunar calender. Figures of other animals once dotted the plain, but they have been swallowed by the expanding forest, leaving only the Bird. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #15 -Golden Man- A golden statue that stands quietly, as if pointing something out. It is thought to have been placed here to protect the sacred land. Male statues are often found in temples and other buildings, while female statues are found near holy lakes and trees. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #16 -Gates of Rixis- A huge stone face that stands quietly, buried deep in the forests of Ixa'taka. The stones have been filled so tightly together that not even an insect could crawl between them. It is a remnant of an ancient civilization. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #17 -Ixa'takan Palace- Thie stone palace was once the site of ceremonies based on the ancient lunar calender, built during the reign of the Moon Kings. This place flourished as the center of Ixa'takan civilization for ages, but was destroyed several years ago by the Valuans. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #18 -Ixa'ness Village- A tribe of women that lives on a small island in Ixa'taka. They are skilled and fearsome warriors. They raid nearby villages twice a year to kidnap men. The numbers of men in nearby tribes have been almost reduced to nothing. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #19 -Mysterious Rings- Huge geometric shapes that mysteriously appear on the ground overnight. Reports have been very frequent lately. Old records speak of a similar phenomenon, and mention 2 or 3 glowing balls of light that appear the night before the shapes are found. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #20 -Will o' Wisps- "I woke up in the middle of the night, and saw something glowing out near some unpopulated islands. I thought I was just seeing things at first, but then the lights started moving around in these weird patterns..." - An anonymous sailor ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #21 -Roc's Nest- The nest of the legendary bird, the Roc. A single Roc egg is large enough to feed a whole town for a full lunar cycle. However, not many people are brave, or stupid, enough to try and steal an egg from the nest of this giant bird. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #22 -The Giant Throne- An enormous rock formation that looks like a rocking chair. The claw marks on its surface have given rise to many stories -- stome speak of a giant green creature that once perched here, or of a hairy beast that was lulled to sleep by the rocking motion. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #23 -Lighthouse Ruins- Originally an ancient ruin, it was converted into a lighthouse to guide Valuan ships returning from the north. But as the center of Valuan culture shifted to the south, the once great lighthouse faded from people's memories. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #24 -Ancient Palace- A beautiful old castle that stands near a lake in central Valua. Local legends of evil wizards and mysterious disappearances were revived when various potions and torture devices were discovered in the dungeons beneath the castle. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #25 -Skull Rock- "I never believed that old story about the skull pointing the way to hidden treasure. But one night, we was passing by it, and Moonlight from the full Moon reflected off Skull Rock and lit up an island in the distance..." -An anonymous sailor ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #26 -Stone City- The ruins of a settlement built into a solid rock wall, with countless passage ways connecting the dwellings. The homes appear to have been abandoned hastily, but no evidence has been found that explains exactly what happened. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #27 -Ship Graveyard- This North Dannel route was once feared as the home of a monster that ate ships. But in reality, it is an area where currents are so strong that the previous generation of ships lacked the power and hull strength to make it through. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #28 -Philosophy Stone- "Though my body may age and the sun may set, the soul of a sailor still burns inside me. As long as I can dream I shall travel the skies. As long as there are skies my journey shall continue" -- A Sailor's Philosophy by Anonymous ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #29 -Balloon Flower- A curious plant, whose colorful fruit sways in the wind like a balloon. When the thin outer shell is popped, a sweet fragrance is released. It was often seen throughout the world in more peaceful times, but of late the fruits are seldom seen. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #30 -The Lands of Ice- A frozen continent, sleeping quietly under the light of the Purple Moon. Ancient legends and myths speak of it as a land of the dead, but its true nature remained unknown until its discovery by Vyse, the Blue Rogue. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #31 -Icebird- A strange bird that lives on islands of ice. Its small wings are not suited for flight, so it feeds by jumping for fish that float nearby. They are model parents -- males and females take turns caring for an egg, never leaving it until it hatches. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #32 -The Frozen Giant- A giant, furry animal, perfectly preserved in ice for more than 20,000 years. It is unknown how the creature came to be forzen here - perhaps it fell into a crack in a glacier while chasing its prey, or was instantly frozen in some catastrophe. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #33 -Aurora- A spectacle of light that has graced the skies above the Lands of Ice since ancient times. Auroras are thought to be caused by the gravity of the Moons, and once every few thousand years, a convergence of the moons creates auroras worldwide. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #34 -Blimp Wreck- Before the advent of ships, blimps ruled the skies as the means of exploration. Here lie the ruins of one man's dreams - he tried time and time again to repair his blimp and cross the Dark Rift, but was defeated by the fierce winds. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #35 -Giant Squid Nest- "We thought it was just a big rock! But when we threw the anchor, this huge eyeball opened up and these red legs came outta nowhere... we just ran for it and barely made it out with our ship in one piece!" - An anonymous sailor. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #36 -Black Moon Stone- This rare, Black Moon Stone holds tremendous power. It can turn positive energy to negative, and vice versa, but a pratical application for this ability has not been found. There are rumors of a lost Black Moon, but the truth remains unknown. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #37 -Yafutoma- Ancient legends speak of Yafutoma as a mythical land to the east, covered in gold and populated by a proud, polite people. Cut off from the world by dangerous currents, it has developed a distinctive culture. First discovered by Vyse, the Blue Rogue. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #38 -Uguisu's Nest- Although this bird builds its nests in rock faces, for some reason they always travel northwards to human civilizations to raise their young. That is why sailors have learned to recognize these nests as signs that a human city is nearby. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #39 -Guardian Walls- A massive fortress built by an ancient Yafutoman king. Rather than as a form of defense, the walls were said to have been built so that lookouts could spot enemy ships before they got too close to the city they were trying to defend. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #40 -Wanderbirds- The Wanderbirds are large migratory birds from the far North, revered since ancient times as symbols of long life. Their cry is rarely ever heard, but the clarity and beauty of their song is said to put all other birds to shame. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #41 -Dheerse- "Once upon a time, there was a gentle creature called the Dheerse, that lived in the forest. The villagers believed that getting kicked by the Dheerse would make them rich, so they chased him around until he ran away." - A Yafutoman Fairy Tale ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #42 -Grieving Prince- A statue of an ancient prince, who lost his wife in a sailing accident and spent his life gazing up at the skies. On a full Moon, it is said that a single tear falls from the prince's eyes as he watches the ships pass. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #43 -Spice Island- A small, remote island where a pure spring nurtures a wide variety of herbs and spices. The water in the spring has medicinal value, due to the abundant herbs nearby. Perhaps this beautiful garden is the true Fountain of Youth. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #44 -Mystic Orchard- "Once upon a time, there was a faraway island where jeweled fruit grew on the trees. A young man took one of the fruits to cure his sick mother, but in return, had to come back to the island to become one of the magical trees." - A Yafutoman Fairy Tale ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #45 -Inverse Isle- A strange island where the trees and everything else are upside down. The current theory is that this confusing phenomenon may be caused by a flux in the gravitational pull caused by the presence of the Black Moon Stones at the center of the Dark Rift. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #46 -World is Round- Until now, no one knew what lay beyond the end of the world, and it was commonly thought to be a long, turbulent drop into nothingness. But after the Blue Rogue Vyse returned from his voyage around the world, it became known that the world was round. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #47 -Ruins of Rolona- The ruins of a city that served as a center of trade between Nasr and the East. The ruins show a remarkable blending of the cultures of the East and the West, driven not by the ruling class, but by a strong merchant class. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #48 -Southern Cross- A mysterious, cross-shaped island. The building that sits atop it is said to be a remnant of the Purple Civilization. Legends say that the long arm of the cross points toward the location of that civilization, but no one has ever confirmed it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #49 -Rainbow Island- What lies at the end of the rainbow? It's a question everyone asks when they are young, but as they grow older, it is often forgotten. Perhaps only the few who remember can find the legendary island at the end of the rainbow. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #50 -Moon Stone Lake- A truly rare sight - a waterfall that runs through a vein of Moon Stone. The water plunges from above to carry away bits of Moon Stone, and it is said to have mystic attributes. Is is believed that those who drink the water enjoy a long life. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #51 -Iron Star- A strange object said to be launched by the ancient civilization of the Red Moon. Its purpose has been long forgotten, but legends say that its Eye could see the entire world. Even now, sailors navigate by its rhythmic flashing light. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #52 -Alupas- An ancient species that predates the Ixa'takan civilization, the Alupas live quietly in the forest. Their calm, proud demeanor has earned them the name "Sages of the Forest". They are also known for choosing their mates for life. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #53 -Observatory- A civilization once flourished in this land, under the Green Moon. The observatory built on the Ixa'takan plateau speaks to their advanced study of astronomy - but, they could do naught but watch, as a shower of Moon Stones destroyed their culture. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #54 -Dancing Lights- A natural phenomenon that can be seen underneath the Valuan continent, it is said to be caused by electricity from the Yellow Moon Stones in the Valuan soil. Some say that it is caused by a giant creature that lies deep inside the ground. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #55 -The Mother Tree- This tree is revered by the Yafutomans. In one of their ancient scriptures, it says that he who climbs to the top of this tree will someday conquer the world. The tree is now 2,000 years old. To this day, no on has ever made it to the top. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #56 -The Ghost Ship- An unmanned shipwreck that continues to wander the skies. Many sailors tell of a ghost ship that appeared suddenly from the fog. Some claim that it was once the ship of the great Air Pirate Daccay, but no evidence has been found to support it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #57 -Flutterflies- A butterfly that travels in groups, in search of Balloon Flower nectar. Their remarkable endurance allows them to cross vast spans without sleeping or resting. Also, the silk produced by their larvae is valued for its strength and resilience. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #58 -Eclipse Point- The only place in the world where a lunar eclipse can be observed at predictable intervals. Eclipses where a golden ring can be seen around the Moon are seen as good omens, and complete eclipses are said to portent an impending disaster. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #59 -Loopers' Nest- Loopers are mysterious creatures, rarely seen even by the most seasoned of sailors. They nest in the stone reefs, and their young stay in the nests until they mature. Loopers are white at birth, but turn various colors as they age. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #60 -Flying Machine- An odd-looking ship whose origins remain a complete mystery. The fluid design and strange metals used in its hull have leg to theories of a ship built on another world, and some even go so far as to say that it travelled through areas without air. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #61 -Valuan Wreckage- 20 years ago, a flagship of the Armada disappeared above northern Nasrad near the end of the Valua-Nasr War. Some theories mention a murder attempt on the commander of the Armada, but the mysterious disappearance has never been fully explained. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #62 -Rabbats- A strange creature that spends its entire life hanging upside down by digging its claws into the rock face. Until it was discovered underneath the Valuan continent, it was thought to be a myth. Its intelligence and ferocity belie its cute appearance. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #63 -Bottomless Pit- A chimney-like rocky mountain with a hollow center, rising up from the Great Cloud Sea. From the depths of the pit, it is said that a woman's weeping can be heard in the wind. Could this be the mythical entrance to the land of the dead? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #64 -Ancient Fish- A species of fish that was believed to have been extinct millions of years ago. Its vestigal gills and fins that look like hands and feet seem to point to an evolutionary path from the waters to dry land, and then to the skies. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #65 -Star Sand- In southern Nasr, there was once a desert filled with sand that would sparkle even in the dark of the night. But slowly their sparkle faded. But legend has it that someone saved some sand in a giant bottle, and hid it for centuries. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #66 -Maroon Isle- Long ago, when Air Pirates betrayed their crew or captain, as punsihment, they were abadoned on this island, with only a week's supply of food. So fearful did Pirates become of this island, its legend lives on in the songs of Air Pirates even today. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #67 -Comma Rock- Legend has it that Comma Rock was once an island in South Ocean, thousands of years ago. The winds ripped the island apart, and slowly eroded it down over the years to the state that it's in today. Perhaps someday, Comma Rock will no longer exist. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #68 -Turtala Pole- It is a wooden pole, with the faces of people and various animals engraved into it's length. The upper and lower portions were lost years ago, so nobody knows what its true purpose was. A monument? A grave? Or perhaps a store sign? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #69 -Wings of Gold- A small machine with giant, golden wings was recently discovered near the ancient city. Perhaps the people of the ancient world wished to be able to fly like the birds and the fish, so they created this flying machine so they could join them in flight. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #70 -Giant's Hammer- A strange structure found in the northern regions of Ixa'taka, it was named Giant's Hammer for its unusual shape. But, there are many local legends that tell of giants, so perhaps the name is not far from the truth? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #71 -Tricyclone- A dangerous triplet of cyclones. Sailors have dreaded the legendary tricyclone for centuries. It is said that if you encounter it, all you can do is pray. However, it is also said that in the center lies the treasure of a thousand Air Pirates. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #72 -Map of Ages- What once used to be a grand map of the skies, carved into a beautiful stone tablet is now a weather-worn, crumbling slab of rock. It is said that the map is but a portion of the original, but nobody knows what keeps it afloat. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #73 -Balloon Seed- There was a time when Balloon Flowers could be seen throughout the lands, but now, they only exist in history books. But, where there are seeds, there must be flowers. Perhaps the history books are not quite so accurate. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #74 -Ice Lens- A giant lens made purely of ice, it is supposedly impervious to heat. Legend has it that people of the ancient world used the lens to burn ships out of the sky, or to see far away lands. But then, why was the focal point last centered on Glacia itself? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #75 -Paper Airship- Nobody knows how this piece of paper survived the trials of ages. Perhaps it is a mystery that will never be solved. Some say that inscribed upon the paper is a map to a fabled land, but nobody knows the truth. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #76 -Mirage Island- Lately, sailors have been reporting sightings of Sailors' Island, floating around Mid Ocean. They tried to get close to the island, but to no avail. Theory has it that light reflected off Sailors' Island creating a mirage of sorts. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #77 -Ryuguu Turtle- Once upon a time, an old man rescued a turtle who was being picked on by the neighborhood children. Thanking the old man, the turtle offered to give the old man a ride on his back. So, into the sky they flew, to a far away land. - A Yafutoman Legend ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #78 -Sky Ladder- A Valuan legend states that before the age of airships and air balloons, the people of the ancient world, over many years, build a ladder from which they could see the entire world. What would the people of the era think of Valua's own Armada? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #79 -Ryuguu Island- And so the turtle brought the old man to an island of great beauty where the beautiful Princess Oto awaited. They laughed and ate and danced for days. When the turtle finally brought the old man home, 300 years had passed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #80 -Tomb of Ice- A coffin of ice, built by a father who could not bear his sorrow. The girl encased within the ice bears an expression almost resembling a smile. Etched into a tablet sealed within are the words, My daughter, may yuor beauty be eternal. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #81 -Stone Lovers- It is said that the tomb of a great Yafutoman king is hidden somewhere near the statue. The people of Yafutoma believe that this statue was carved after his death, to show the love that his people had for him, and the love that he had for his wife. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #82 -Deep Iron Star- A metallic relic of the ancient world. Legend has it that the ancients once harnessed the power of the Blue Moon to be able to detect sound waves to let them know when their enemies were approaching.
