 Thought have crossed your mind of why you are helping these Rokari people of Carbo, but you have good enough reasons. You still don’t like them. Shrett and Boamund have their higher moralities of protecting those who cannot defend themselves. Thought have crossed your mind of why you are helping these Rokari people of Carbo, but you have good enough reasons.

Line 55: Line 55:
 It's clear that Blackhand is a valuable contact in Tiskos, and very willing to help where he can. You’ve just begun. With a foothold here in the Temple, and an upcoming meeting with the Count, you seem in good position to begin navigating the maze of people and ideas and places that is Tiskos… Elzemond summarises the situation aptly by saying, explore Tiskos and you may be surprised what friends you make. You’re reminded of Lord Grimoald’s statement on the double nature of “friends” in Safelster. It's clear that Blackhand is a valuable contact in Tiskos, and very willing to help where he can.

 +Asked about uniting Arkat with beasts, Elzemond has no idea. It’s just not a part of Arkat’s history per se; although he allied with many Hykimi at times, he also fought them (e.g. Galanini et al. allied with Aldryami and others with Nysalor/Gbaji), and things didn’t go so well at Hrelar Amali (in the view of some Hykimi). Maybe someone knows.
 + 
 +How can the Arkati be encouraged to unite? War, he says, then clarifies he means more of a spiritual war. The ugly history of Arkati since the end of the First Age (and in some of Arkat’s own life events—Harmast and Talor, for example, turned against him as he turned to Darkness magics and Uzdom!) means that there will be violence between the Arkati, which will sweep through Ralios. And at this bad time when Seshnela/Tanisor threatens it.
 + 
 +And on Chaos such as Urcheth, Elzemond has no idea except that it’s all bad news, and fits the trend of much more trouble in Ralios lately. Not just the war with Seshnela; internal problems aplenty, worse than before. Warring city states and such, and this resurgence of Chaos has been building. 
 +
 +> Then: I could email privately but prefer to do this openly as I would have in-game: While Fraud and Shrett handle the main discussion with Elzemond (who is happy to speak Darktongue or Seshnelan so you all understand!), you don’t notice that the black imp is gone from his shoulder. Bog feels a cold heaviness on his left shoulder; like a lump of lead. The imp is there, and whispers: “Hello great one among the Enlo. Call me Nugget. Father bore me from Wonderhome. I’ll be your friend too. He can’t talk about it but I can. The Duke Kimiv thing is a tender issue. The Duke is only barely on speaking terms with the Count. Not really here to talk to him, even though Kimiv leads Naskorion County. They have little in common and plenty of mutual hatred and jealousy. He’s here privately, in the Terminal of the Argan Argar Chain. That’s in the ghetto; old Tiskos; on the west side. The “Borough of Lost Hopes”. Some call it the ghost city. For good reasons. But you can’t just walk in and find it, or him. He’s not looking to be found. He’s sort of not even there, in a manner of speaking. I can help you though. This High Wizard Oriolandus Dervay that Father spoke of, he does know Kimiv. And many others. Well connected. And he likes Uz. Expect there to be a price; there always is in Safelster. Yet he can help you reach the ‘Chain and Kimiv. And Orkbrakt. He’s here. You need to meet him. But come talk to me first. Don’t go straight to the ghetto. I’ll give you more advice. For a price. Today’s a freebie. And as much a secret as you like. We can keep secrets together. Very tasty, I like secrets.” And it leaps off into the darkness. [Nugget can Darkwalk at will, which is handy]
