Between the island and the land
No Expiration
Jakarta Adventurer's Guild
Hey, you surveyed Van Diemen's Land for us, didn't you? Even though it's called "Land" it's amazing that you found out that it's an island. Then, I wonder how much distance there is between the island and the mainland, and what the island is shaped like. This time I would like you to investigate about that. Ask around at Hobart

Van Diemen's Land Should be a short distance
How close is the northern continent? Hah, you can practically see it from here! They even say we were once joined together, you know. If that's the case, I have no idea what split us apart... but the owner of the item shop might. His family has passed stories like that down for generations.
Ancient tradition
Ah, yes, I know the story you mean. But we are talking a long, long time ago here, you understand. I have no idea exactly how long, and if there even is a grain of truth to it. Wanna hear it anyway?
When waves hit, when fish rain from the sky
Very well. I'm happy to tell it. You've already heard how we were joined to the northern continent, in the distant, distant past, haven't you? But then one day a massive wave came and once it had passed, in the blink of an eye, the island had been cut off from the mainland. They even say that fish throw up into the air by the wave then rained down from the sky... hard to believe. isnt it.
Channel with many shallows
That's what the owner of the item shop had to say, is it? Sounds like it might be true, to me. The channel to the north is narrow and has a lot of shallows - even locals often get beached. Of course, if it was once land then that would explain why it is so shallow.
Between the island and the land
There is a narrow, shallow channel between Van Diemen's Land and the mainland. Investigate this channel and report on it.
