Walkthrough
While onboard Captain Aldous Thorpe's ship headed to Aeternum, the ship is attacked by a mysterious sea creature. Along with the wreckage of the ship, you wash ashore Aeternum and find Captain Thorpe injured nearby. When you approach him, you are attacked by a Drowned Sailor, an undead pirate wielding a one-handed sword. Draw your weapon and block the attack. Then, return with an attack of your own. Dodge the Drowned Sailor's counter attack, and then finally defeat the Drowned Sailor with a heavy attack.

Talk to Captain Thorpe who will inquire about a missing box before dying and decomposing instantly into an almost supernatural red energy. Take all of his discarded items including a Worn Round Shield, and two Light Rations. Equip both items and consume a Light Ration to restore your health and give you a health recovery buff for 20 minutes.

Make your way through the Ship Graveyard defeating the Drowned Sailor enemies along the way. Each one decomposes instantly into blue energy similar to how Captain Thorpe died. After making your way through the Ship Graveyard, make your way to higher ground to look out upon Aeternum including a mountain off in the distance with rocks floating to the sky above it, and a smoke-filled grotto in front of you.

In the grotto, you find what looks to be Captain Thorpe harnessing some kind of dark energy. His eyes glow red and he pulses out the same dark, red, energy as before. He tells you that you would have been better dying at sea. You must now defeat Corrupted Captain Thorpe. His attacks are powerful; remember to block or dodge his attacks and hit him with heavy attacks in between. Eat another Light Ration if necessary.

After getting Corrupted Captain Thorpe's health down a bit, he fires a beam of dark energy towards you which causes you to pulse out blue energy in response. You appear to have been teleported to one of the territories of Aeternum. Approach the Watchtower just north of where you teleported and introduce yourself to the local Watcher to complete the quest.

Completing the Quest

You will end up on one of 4 starter beaches, and the dialogue will vary. See below for the options.

At First Light Watchtower

Nora Linch: A drowned rat sailor we have here, don't we? Still, better off than the rest of your crew, I'll wager.

1. "Who are you?"

Nora Linch: Name's Linch. I'm down here from the First Light Settlement. Wanted to assess the impact of that "storm" that wrecked your ship.

1. "I'm [Character's Name]."

Nora Linch: Well [Character's Name], it's a pleasure to meet you, even under such ugly circumstances.

1. Complete the Quest

At Monarch's Bluffs Watchtower

Charity Douglas: Another survivor? Saints be praised! It's always good to find a live one. That storm was fierce. I figured it would drown the lot of you.

1. "Who are you?"

Charity Douglas: Me? Oh, I'm Charity, er, Watcher Douglas, from the Monarch's Bluffs settlement. And who do I have the pleasure of meeting today?

1. "My name is [Character's Name] "

Charity Douglas: Well, [Character's Name], I know this isn't the best way to make an acquaintance, but it's actually the way most people arrive here. I suppose you're still wondering where "here" is.

1. Complete the Quest

At Everfall Watchtower

Leyson Reese: Hello there! Rough landing, wasn't it? Um, wow! You're actually looking quite...healthy, all things considered. Luckier than most!

1. "Were you on the ship?"

Leyson Reese: Oh no! Well, a long, long time ago, I was, but I've been here for...many years. Watcher Leyson Reese, at your service.

1. "Nice to meet you, I'm [Character's Name]."

Leyson Reese: It's nice to meet you as well. Though, to be completely honest, I wish it were under better circumstances.

1. Complete the Quest

At Windsward Watchtower

Tahir Fayed: Well you don't look like one of the Drowned. There's life in you, yet. Aboard a ship during that storm, were you? You're fortunate to be alive, but such is the magic of this place - Aeternum.

1. "Aeternum? Is that where we are?"

Leyson Reese: Ineed, and it is where we will remain. One can evade death for centuries on this island, but leaving is difficult, if not impossible. I'm Watcher Tahir Fayed, from the nearby settlement of Windsward. And you are...?

1. "I'm [Character's Name]."

Leyson Reese: It's nice to make your acquaintance, [Character's Name]. As desperate as your situation may seem, almost everyone here arrived under similar circumstances.
