Mithrax, Kell of House Light, seems shaken by the violence employed by Eramis and the pirate crews at her command. "I thought the Eliksni had moved on from such senseless brutality," he says.

"It seems I was mistaken."

He explains the heavy book that awaits near the Star Chart: a Captain's Atlas, which will enable you to better command your ship and crew.

He asks that you discover why Eramis is using these old crews. "They know the stars in a way even House Salvation does not," he says, but does not know what they are searching for.

Finding the answer to that question falls to you.
