Pearl Eye of Nu Stolen by 19th Century Captain
Pauo recounts how Great-Grandfather Ezra Whitney raided the temple on Nu to seize the all-powerful eye of Nu, a colossal pearl in the god’s forehead. In the ensuing battle off Tarea, half his crew died, the ship sank, and Peter, the boy, saved the treasure by placing the pearl in his glass eye. The log and other valuables were kept safe as the vessel went down.
