Grave of Esteban Vargas

The Grave of Esteban Vargas is a lore item recording an unnamed Spanish captain's farewell to a fallen crewman during the expedition against Davy Jones. It is the first of four lore drops that piece together the Order of the Grail's mission to find the priestess and stop Jones.

In-Game Text

I'll pray that no one disturbs your rest, my friend. I admit, I was fond of your ugly mug, but I have no desire to see it again.

Moving on without you will be hard. Especially if the dead don't stop hounding us.

We'll press on with the expedition. If Columbus is right and the local priestess can help against Jones, I'll find her even if I have to dig her out of hell. Your death will not be in vain.

Lore Context

Three named figures bracket this grave: the dead crewman Esteban Vargas, Columbus (likely Christopher Columbus or a same-named in-game expedition leader), and Davy Jones. The captain references 'the Order' in the next grave, suggesting the expedition is a chartered religious effort, not a mercenary trip. The line 'if the dead don't stop hounding us' establishes that Jones's undead are already harassing the expedition before the priestess is even found.
