Meet the Kraken's Arms, pirates licensed to raid Garlean ships.
would like to make you a completely legal proposition. invites you to take on a job for the Kraken's Arms, one of Limsa Lominsa's greatest pirating crews. Should you be interested, seek out Captain Carvallain, who awaits upon the balcony above the Seventh Sage. has prepared two sets of spice samplers, which he requires delivered to two individuals. Take the first to Ginnade
in the Coral Tower, and the second to Lyngsath
at the Bismarck... He reveals to you his ambitions to grow rich as a privateer, attacking and looting Garlean ships in the Admiral's name.Next in the play order: On to Summerford. Staelwyrn
, the farm's owner, is Baderon
's old mate.
The lines worth a second look, in the order you hear them, and what each one means.
Oh? You thought that you had brought me spice? I see you are not familiar with Carvallainisms. For the sake of convenience, he uses the word “spice” to refer to literally anything he has procured on the high seas.
Carvallain calls anything taken at sea 'spice'. It is one of his 'Carvallainisms'. Ginnade's 'spice' sampler is actually Garlean firesand, a powder that explodes.
Last I 'eard, Othard was under imperial rule. 'Ow the seven 'ells did Carvallain
Remember Othard, the far eastern continent that Lyngsath says is ruled by the empire. Also remember Carvallain, who somehow trades there. Both come back in a later expansion.
Many chefs shop at the Seventh Sage spice shop. But the shop also serves to hide the business of the Kraken's Arms.
Carvallain was born heir to House Durendaire. Like every firstborn of Ishgard's High Houses, Carvallain walked a golden path.
Carvallain jumped at the chance to escape the stuffy, narrow world of Ishgardian high culture. The way out was to join the pirate crew.
The item text of the Seventh Sage Sampler lists unusual spices, with instructions. That is 'not something you would expect from the captain of a band of bloodthirsty pirates'.
The title plays on James Bond's 'licence to kill'. Carvallain's crew also have official approval. But theirs is a licence to reave, which means to rob by force.
Who they are, and what they do in this quest.
Ginnade is at the Coral Tower, headquarters of the Yellowjackets, who keep the peace in Limsa Lominsa.
Ginnade sees that the 'spice' is Garlean firesand, an explosive powder, and may order some. Ginnade explains that Carvallain calls anything gained at sea 'spice', and that he is no pirate but a heavily armed trader for Lominsan interests in the East.
Mordyn looks for adventurers who want coin, to work for the Kraken's Arms, one of Limsa Lominsa's greatest pirate crews.
Mordyn offers you paid work with the crew and sends you up the steps to the balcony to meet Carvallain, their captain. Do right by Carvallain, Mordyn says, and the captain does right by you.
Carvallain, captain of the Kraken's Arms, waits on the balcony above the Seventh Sage, a shop selling spices from the East.
Carvallain is pleased with your deliveries. With the Admiral's blessing, his crew attacks and loots Garlean (imperial) ships, which he insists is legal; he hopes to grow rich this way. Born heir to an Ishgard noble house, he left that stiff world for piracy.
Lyngsath is the head chef of the Bismarck, who gets new samples from the Seventh Sage spice shop.
Lyngsath has never smelled anything like the new root, which grows in Othard. Since Othard is under imperial rule, Lyngsath wonders how Carvallain got it, but plans to cook something fresh and new with it.
