History

History of the Sea was the life-work of Riutta of Martin. Born in 672TR in Shorkein, he was a pilot of great distinction. Shortly after a shipwreck in 699TR off the coast of Melderyn, with both legs badly broken, Riutta of Martin turned from piloting to research.

He spent the rest of his life in the libraries and the dock-side inns of Melderyn buying drinks and listening to tales. His works are considered the best written history of seafaring.

The History of the Sea is considered a scholarly work, and at least one copy was given to the pilot’s guild in Melderyn at the time of Riutta of Martin’s death along with his log book.
