Boatswains can be found at some harbors, and can be hired to take you to other locations within an alliance's territory. You may be required to pay a fee if you are attempting to travel outside of your current story zone[verification needed], but once you have entered a new zone as part of the story, passage to a previous zone is free. Most boatswains are always available, while a certain few will only be present during their related quests.
