Story
Ahtbyrm is the head shipwright at the Moraby Drydocks. He is waiting for materials he ordered over a month ago.
Ahtbyrm is angry at another delay, then says sorry to you, the messenger. He leads work on the Victory, the first new warship since the Calamity, the disaster that sank most of their ships. To him it is a symbol of Limsa Lominsa's rebirth.
Ahtbyrm is worried and angry: his young shipwright Fyrilsmyd
went to fetch supplies two days ago and has not come back.Fyrilsmyd
was never late in twelve months. Ahtbyrm doubts Haldbroda
at Candlekeep Quay, who claims he never saw Fyrilsmyd. Ahtbyrm cannot leave his post, so he sends you to threaten Haldbroda with a move to lonely Turtleback Island.Foreman Ahtbyrm is at the Drydocks waiting for his
lunch, but some of Wafufu's
lunches are missing.Ahtbyrm does not speak here. Wafufu
mentions him as the hungry foreman whose belly keeps grumbling and who gives her "the evil eye". She fears he might eat her if the
lunches stay lost.Ahtbyrm is still leading the work on the Victory at the Moraby Drydocks.
Ahtbyrm does not speak here. Hezzkhezl
mentions him as the clever foreman who thought of heating rivets with
sprite cores, and says that is likely why he became chief so fast. Ahtbyrm's name means "Eight Tree" in old Roegadyn.Ahtbyrm is still waiting at the Moraby Drydocks for news of his missing shipwright Fyrilsmyd
and the supplies.Ahtbyrm is relieved that Fyrilsmyd
and the supplies are safe, and says it was foolish to think he would blame him. The sea was calm that day, so he suspects the waves were made by Sahagin magic, not a natural storm.Ahtbyrm, the Victory's foreman, is thinking of recommending you for an important security job at the Drydocks.
Ahtbyrm admits he doubted you at first. He still does not like you, but he trusts you, and recommends you to Ghimthota
. It sickens him that some would betray Limsa Lominsa for a few coins after all it has suffered.Ahtbyrm is at the Drydocks, working on the Victory, as pirates threaten the ship.
The pirate leader Ahtzapfyn
is Ahtbyrm's father. Ahtbyrm gave up pirate life to become a shipwright, and his father attacks the Victory to "knock some sense" into him. Ahtbyrm says the pirates' glory days are over. Shaken, he thanks you and sends Ghimthota
his apologies.Ahtbyrm is not seen in this quest; his father, the pirate Ahtzapfyn
, was behind the plot against the Victory.Baderon
says Ahtbyrm told him the whole tale and was still reeling from his old man's part in the business.Ahtbyrm is not seen here; his father's pirates attacked the Victory.
Baderon
mentions him only through his father: the tattoo-faced Serpent Reavers were said to be paying "Ahtbyrm's old man."
