Not much has changed by the time that Thunder returns to the Island of Shadows. The celebration is closer to happening, a new trader is in port, and a lunatic (possibly not metaphorically) preacher came aground on a raft. Also equally expectedly, nothing new on the rumors front, but it was good to keep an ear to the ground anyway.<br/><br/>Oh, yes, and the two boats from before are both clean, one is a merchantman that took a comission from a southern lord to update his maps, and the other is an exploritory vessel bound for the near legendary last island in the West.
