---> As Garrett explained it, there was the rare person with the family name “Briefträger” or even more on point, “Postman,” but they often lacked the motivation to be thoroughly involved in the Waking Sea’s trade network. Before his illness, Bartrand had an opinion shared by others of the Merchant’s Guild where the Postboy was a dwarf. It explained the figure’s ingenuity and how he had yet to be caught in a raid, even a glimpse of him. Dwarves were averse to sailing or otherwise spending time on water. Gorim Saelac in Denerim had thus been suspected at one point, especially considering his relationship with a connected Antivan merchant named Cesar. Apparently, however, neither were involved in the Postal Service; Cesar was merely the main funder for Gorim’s inventions.

--> “''S-Signore'',” the person openly wept. “Y-You’re ''him'': il signore. We thought…a m-myth….”\\
Carver could imagine it: veritable strangers from varied backgrounds secretly passing and following orders for a bigger image they couldn’t fully comprehend, only knowing that beneath the layers of the Postal Service’s actions was a common good, an idea. The Postboy. Should anyone come to a captured merchant’s rescue, it would be someone entrusted with the task from high up, not someone who could claim the network as his own.\\
“No myth.” Carver stroked their back to encourage warmth. “I’m here.”
