He Ao was in need of a translator, so he asked the Speech Master to translate what these pirates were muttering about.
After listening, the Speech Master looked at He Ao with a strange expression and said, "These pirates say that you are 'the incarnation of Nola'."
"What is Nola?"
He Ao was curious.
"Nola is the god of the sea, storms, and thunder in Alano's legends, the chief deity in Alano's primal myths.
It's said that Nola incarnates as a human in Alano every so often, calming the oceans and letting fishermen return with full loads. The name Alano itself comes from this legend, meaning 'The land protected by Nola'.
The old kings of Alano would claim to be incarnations of Nola."
