Talk:Bartholomew Roberts’ Marine Sandglass and Chip Log/@comment-5782071-20170917063828/@comment-24509764-20170920151907

I wanted to use those objects for a while, but I couldn't come up with two separate artifacts. Since they were pretty similar in function, helping pirates navigate the high seas, I thought to bifurcate them together. When I read about Roberts, I felt I finally found an approiate match for the origin.

The captain would be the activator and the crew those close to them in work or other relations.They would also need to be in the possession of people familiar with each other or in generally the same area, or neither will activate. That's my reasoning for how it's remained uncollected for so long.
