An old, semi-scratched record plate rests inside a black leather sleeve, the latter still in solid condition - although the opening flap is a little worn at the folded edge.

There is no visible text on this packaging - neither outside it, nor within it. Instead, at the front of the sleeve, a singular symbol of sorts stands out, etched into the leather in gold. The significance of the symbol - and, indeed, its meaning, - escape you.

Upon closer inspection, the sleeve's flap hides a cut in it - a pouch, it seems. Within it is contained a small piece of paper. It looks as if it was torn from a book of some kind, its appearance weathered, the paper itself now bearing a rich sepia tone.

There is some sort of writing on it, artfully calligraphed onto the insignificant-looking paper scrap:

"Defy the hush-makers. Let the glorious song ring on. We shall sing with the tide, 'til a new Celtor sinks!

- The Masters of the House"

When The Embers Calm - Layer 3 Fan OST

The World Looks Red (Remix)

Not much is known about First Lieutenant August Gideshu, the author of the song, himself. Supposedly an Adretian in origin, his unusual surname seems to indicate an older lineage, likely one reaching back to the Pre-Tidal epochs, when the Adretian peoples were contained within their mountain homelands, squabbling as scattered tribes. The Gideshu family name appears several times in various historical Authority records, though never in a rank higher than First Lieutenant.

Authority records indicate that August Gideshu served aboard the Central Authority Sailing-Ship (or CASS) 'Zephyr', under Captain Hector Corbet. Little else is known about this ship's crew or specifications, aside from the fact that it served in the Eastern Luminant, and experienced several clashes involving the Etrean Navy, in which they emerged victorious. Gideshu himself is noted as having distinguished himself in one battle by bolstering crew morale during an Etrean boarding - possibly by starting to sing the eponymous march, suggesting his fellow crew were familiar with his penmanship.

"If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle."
