The whole world flocks to the commercial port of Liyue, much to the city's pride.
|
|
With the tides of people also come exotic treasures.
|
|
This map, detailing the various seas surrounding the continent, is complete with undercurrents, hidden reefs, and wind directions.
|
|
It is said to be an exotic tome containing the knowledge, courage, and faith of pioneering explorers.
|
|
|
|
The title page of this book reads as follows:
|
|
"Love ye the sea breeze and the ocean currents, for it is the wind and water that carry the seafaring ones to their destination."
|
|
"Fear ye all the more that same sea breeze and those same ocean currents, for unbridled wind and water can tear apart even an iron vessel."
|
|
|
|
To woo the ocean and calm her temper, one must explore her every hidden reef, every prevailing wind, and every place which whales make their home.
|
|
These words appear in the yellowing pages of countless seafarers' notebooks, like an ode of infatuation with their lover's body.
|
|
|
|
In foreign lands, seasoned sailors refer to the ocean as their lover, and use female pronouns to address the cold, saline waters.
|
|
Perhaps they do so because of the ocean's temperamentality, or its vast bosom. Or perhaps it is because they are drawn to the romance of sailing away on an adventure.
|
|
Like the ocean, this chart answers to no master. Like the seafarers, it harbors the romantic dream of exploring every corner of the world.
