So, ye've heard the whispers of the Sagres School, have ye? A fine ambition for a sailor lookin' to learn the true arts of navigation and command. Mark this well: it be a place of learning, but the path there depends on where ye hail from.
The Lay of the Land
Sagres be a port on the southern tip of Portugal. If your papers are from Spain or Portugal, the way is simple: set your sails and make for it directly. For the rest of us, the port guards demand permits, which means a bit of guild work is in order first.
What's Required of Ye
- If ye be Spanish or Portuguese: A ship and a fair wind. That's all.
- If ye be any other nation: Ye must earn your passage. Follow your beginner's tasks for the guild until ye hear the rumor of the school. A quest or two should see it done.
Why Make the Voyage?
This ain't just any port. The School at Sagres is where landlubbers become proper seadogs. It's where ye can learn skills that'll keep ye off the rocks and ahead of your rivals. For those without European papers, the quest to get there often grants all the port permits ye need for the continent, savin' ye a mountain of fame grindin'. A worthy prize for a bit of effort, I'd say.
A Captain's Advice
Use your Surveying skill or that beginner's book to see the map proper. And if the guild masters seem stubborn, talk to every last one again until they spill the tale ye need to hear. The clue is there, matey.
If ye hunger for the full chart—every landmark, trick, and a video to guide your way—then make for the complete log. I’ve laid it all out for a clever sailor like yourself.
