Chapter I: The Delegation

 is a Sunless Sea Story Event.

=Overview= The first time you arrive at Pigmote Isle, you'll be presented with a delegation. The events on this page give you the opportunity to learn more about the situation, and ultimately end with a choice you'll need to make which will determine how things play out. Once the choice is made, you're locked into that path for the rest of the story. Completing will, among other things, unlock a choice of a Mascot.

Choosing the Chief Engineer and the Rattus Faber will lead to where you can help with a Veils or Iron challenge for a large Supplies prize, and be offered the  mascot who provides. Assuming you don't try and steal from the rats, on return visits to Pigmote Isle they'll offer Hull repairs for a variable fee, and you'll be able to smuggle some Supplies to the Cavies in exchange for A Cache of Curiosities.

Choosing the Seneschal and the Cavies, on the other hand, will lead to and provide remarkably similar Fuel rewards for similar challenges, and offer the  mascot who provides. If you don't attempt to steal from the Cavies, they'll sell Scintillack for a variable cost, and you'll be able to smuggle Fuel to the rats.

(note: the above paragraphs are only partially correct. Please help update them with a succinct yet accurate major differences on Rats vs Cavies)

Once completed, both choices ultimately lead to, where you can further develop their civilization statuses.

Story description
''The figures are rodents! To your left is a Rattus Faber, wearing goggles, a blacksmith's apron, and an assortment of tools; to your right is an unusually large guinea pig, wearing a helmet and breastplate reminiscent of nothing so much as the High Middle Ages.''

The rat stepped forward first, and bowed.

"Welcome, Captain, to Rat Star Island. I am Edgar, Second Chief Engineer of the Third Rat Brigade. I invite you to avail yourself of food and fuel at our expense; the only cost to you is a choice."

The rat stepped back; at precisely the same moment, with what appeared to be easy of long habit, the guinea pig scuttled forward, and made a declamatory chirp.

"Welcome, Captain, to the Isle of Cavia. I am Lady Augusta Devereaux Swinch of the Blackwater Swinches, Seneschal to our King Gracegnaw, First of His Name. I invite you to avail yourself of food and fuel at our expense; the only cost to you is a choice."

The two stood at attention, looking at me expectantly.
