Children of Kazzani!
Though salty brine is never seen
Relish in your sea of green!
I write to you from far, far away. I was rounding the Island of Dawn on the way home when I ran into my publisher, Soli. She had been searching far and wide to find me and my latest writings and was as heated as a tiger shark. But when the seas finally calmed aboard the Surly Duchess, she told me quite the tale!
I hear that many back home know the name of Devro Ihb, and that my adventures have inspired several other youngsters to set off on adventures. I have a few things to say to you!
First, know that I am truly grateful. Though I’m sure Soli and her editors do a good job glamorizing my deeds, being the steersman of a seafaring craft is not an easy job. The recognition I’ve received is flattering, and it fills my old heart with courage.
Second, and this one’s to the parents of those kiddos, I’m sorry. Sounds like they have been quite a handful. But I do encourage you to let them loose just a bit. Ours is a time of relative safety, and keelhaul me if seeing the world is not the noblest thing a person can do!
Third, and last, I have a few words for my old ma and pa. I left never intending to see either of you again, and I’ve never looked back until now. If you are still kicking, know that I have grown into my boots and my beard. I’m a strong man now, experienced, wise, and kind. I hope that you can come to see that.
To all: My next journey will be to visit you in Kazzani, and after that, I shall leave on my greatest adventure yet.
(Though I would like to use a different sendoff, I feel like the kids would get a kick out of this one! Here goes.)
Always beyond!
-Captain Devro Ihb
