'My name is Shajât, and I have a sad story to spin. Will you hear it?

'I was a sailor on a ship, a good ship, and together the crew and I delivered cargo up and down the coast. It was the life for me: seeing new lands and distant shores, meeting interesting people and seeing their faces light up with delight when they received the goods they wanted or needed! I loved it!

'And the camaraderie! That crew was like my family. They called me \qThe Ballast.\q A term of endearment, you know?

'It was the best week and a half of my life. But now Captain Jidâlo has sent me away! Will you find him and beg for me to be allowed to join his crew again? He should be at the Broken Pillar Tavern in the Lower Ward with the rest of the crew.'
