Arr, so ye have a taste for the silks and spices of the Orient, do ye? The ports of East Asia are a treasure trove, but their gates are locked tight to all but the most proven captains. To earn this permit, ye must prove yer worth not to some merchant guild, but to the crown itself.
What Be an Imperial Quest?
This ain't no common tavern chore. An Imperial Quest is handed down from yer own nation's palace or consulate. Do it well, and they'll grant ye Patriot Awards along with yer prize. They usually offer a choice of tasks—mark this well—and there's always one that's simpler, like a bit of gossip or a swift delivery.
What Ye Must Have First
Ye cannot simply sail into the sunset and ask for this honor. The Crown demands ye first hold the keys to near every other sea. Ensure ye have all the fame-based port permits, from the chill North Atlantic to the warm Indian Ocean. And that's not all! Ye must also possess these special permits:
- East & West Coasts of Latin America
- Southeast Asia & Oceania
- The vital Panama and Suez Canals
Prove ye've mastered the world, and then we'll talk of Cathay.
The Bounty That Awaits
The reward is more than just a new map to plunder. With this permit, they grant ye one extra aide slot for yer ship. A fine boon for any captain looking to run a tighter crew on longer voyages into unknown waters.
Where to Begin Yer Commission
Make yer way to Manila. Seek out yer nation's consul there to receive the royal commission. The easiest paths they offer, from my experience, are to either gather whispers north of the Spice Islands or deliver a tribute to the outskirts of Brunei.
If ye hunger for the full chart and every last secret to navigating this royal trial, make way to the complete guide below. I'll show ye how to seize it proper and claim yer place among the legends of the East.
