I have a great deal of interest in the continent of Fodlan, and have spent much of my career studying its people and customs. As you might imagine, this makes me a bit of an eccentric amongst my kind. When I heard word of Princess Yulia’s competition, I came here to Solis immediately. I wished to lay my eyes on the champions that would be venturing forth from the ‘Dark Continent’ to lay claim to her hand.”
>“Are you the one the tavern keeper sent for?”“I am indeed.” Cassius nods. “He mentioned you were looking for information on the competition. I’ve seen many of the more notable contenders first-hand, and would be happy to provide you with the information you might be looking for. That is, provided you were willing to answer a few questions of my own. It’s rare that I am afforded an opportunity to speak with someone from Fodlan, and there is still much I wish to learn about your people.” He takes a seat at your table, a flagon of ale in his hand. “So, what do you say we play a game? I’ll answer any questions you have about the ongoing events here in Morfis, and in return, you’ll answer any question I have about your culture. Tit for tat, deal?”
“Hmph, fine, deal.” The two of you clank your tankards together, and take a sip. Morfisian ale was stronger, but not bad, you thought. Hopefully you could hold your own with this man.
