The Tale Book
Once the Crew has voted on the Tall Tale and listened to Sandra, they will receive the Tale Book titled "Ship Log: an account of the final battle of The Morningstar and her Crew, by Cpt. Eli Slate" that they can find and take out in the Map Radial Menu. Any Tale Book can be viewed with the  button ( / ).

The Wreck of The Morningstar
The Ship Log describes how Eli Slate and the Crew of the Morningstar found out that the Skeleton Lord Graymarrow had put a Bounty on their head for the Shroudbreaker Stone that the Crew possessed. The Crew decided to abandon ship and part ways to evade Graymarrow's armada.

With this, the next destination should be clear, go and find The Morningstar and find out what happened to the Shroudbreaker Stone.

After finishing this chapter for the first time, the Crew will acquire the One of Slate's Crew Commendation.

Hints, Walkthrough & Images
Below are a handful of Clues and Hints to complete this section of the Tall Tale. If these are not clear enough, then a full Walkthrough with images is provided below.

Walkthrough
''Note 1: The first Journal can be found on Boulder Cay. See the Eli Slate's Journals section below for more information.''

One of the Crew
The clerks' additional dialogue can be accessed while equipping the uniform, which is provided in the Clothing Chest. The hat, gloves, and one body clothing is required.

At the mentioned islands, each search party drops coded instructions from Graymarrow for finding the buried relics. Refer to Slate's key to decode the location on the island.

Graymarrow also mentioned his resting place though pieces of coordinates on each order, combined they indicate the island to present the artifacts on the summoning altar. His voice will then emit from the ground that he rises out of.

Graymarrow summons skeleton reinforcements, vanishes to reposition, and charges up a powerful repluse attack. In larger crews, is recommended to dedicate one member to eliminate the ranged skeletons, and another to group the skeletons away from Graymarrow. A good strategy would be to lure him in front of the ship's cannons for heavy artillery, as he can eat bananas to regenerate.

Conclusion
Submit the Shroudbreaker stone to Sandra to complete.

Trivia

 * It seems that the location of Graymarrow is tied to the locations of the two skeleton captains and the burial spots and the puzzles of the Chalice and Skull.
 * By listening to Graymarrows voice, you can pinpoint the exact position he will spawn.
 * Graymarrow can be easily defeated by placing several gunpowder barrels (between 4 - 10) at the location he spawns. As soon as he appears, detonate the barrels. Graymarrows defeated animation will play out before dropping the quest item.
 * You do not need to visit Tracy or Tyler to progress the Tale. Visiting the correct islands after collecting the Morningstar Uniform will spawn the skeleton captains required to progress the Tale.
