Vritannis offers a port and fresh obstacles to departure in Berserk Volume 29. The publisher sets pirate slavers beside Farnese's family ambitions, placing human constraints in the path of the journey. Standard Volumes 28 through 30 share Deluxe 10, with this paperback in the middle. Read it as the group's encounter with a city's competing interests, not as confirmation that finding the coast solved the travel problem.

Spoilers — why this volume matters. Tap to reveal.

A port supplies routes out while also concentrating people who can prevent departure. PRH pairs Schierke and Isidro's conflict with slavers with Farnese's family's attempt to reclaim influence over her. Those are different forms of control, and treating both simply as another monster attack would flatten the distinction. This phase turns from surviving hostile wilderness to negotiating human possession and obligation. The party needs more than access to a ship if one member's place in the group remains subject to someone else's plans. Infrastructure does not by itself grant freedom of movement.
