The story so far...
![[Image: img232603.png]](http://gallery.mmoguildsites.com/img232603.png)
Dawn breaks over Limsa Lominsa, as you go down to the docks you notice a large ship that wasn't there the previous night. She is the Coral Vanda, one of the largest and most heavily armed private ships ever assembled at the Limsa Lominsa shipyards. Your curiosity gets the better of you and you approach her. Seated at a desk near the boarding platform a young looking Miqo'te in a hat looks up and notices you. She waves at you and flashes a smile, curious, you approach her.
She purses her lips and sizes you up with her large bright green eyes,"Hmm... well I can tell you are certainly a landlubber and from the looks of those clothes, in need of coin too. It's your lucky day, mate, just so happens I'm the Captain of this fine ship and well, we're looking for a few able-bodied sailors." she says. "I can't promise it won't be hard work, we'll be sailing to the far lands of Eorzea and beyond. We'll be exploring not just the sea but the countryside and into the depths of the deepest caves, not just for profit but for the knowledge and scientific finds as well! You may also find yourself aboard the ship as we commence a broadside attack against an enemy vessel, all for the glory of the city-state we possess a Letter of Marque for!"
"So what say you? Think you've got what it takes?"
