Overheard on the Tartarus

• There’s light below the Dead Decks, shining up through the waves
• There’s a new cult popping up among the flotsam. They say the ship has always been at sea, and the Kraken made it.
• I saw a masked Passenger and two black-armored guards go into the back room of the Salmon’s Tail… Nobody saw him leave, but three hours later he came down the Grand Stair as if nothing had happened.
