After those words the light of one of the moss lamps focused on a stage at the center of the hall. A gentleman who looked to be in his late twenties walked to the stage. He was wearing a navy blue suit and a top hat and had well groomed full beard. He had a gentle smile and his presence was mild but all around there was pin-drop silence. The people around held their breaths at no one's command and yet they all did. "Ah, I am sorry to interrupt your conversations. My name is, Varth Elmer and I just…-

The five provinces that make up the current Empire today were; Vorian, Uthgar, Izzram, Melowar and Norfgar. Even though today the Empire occupied a third of the continent— a far cry from it's heyday, it was still the dominant power in the world despite rising rivals like the Republic and the Dominion. However to truly examine the Empire's current political and social state today, one must point to the False Saint's war, the most devastating event since the end of the age of Dread. Unfortunately due to…

Aldrich grabbed one of the employees and spoke incoherently, "the… quest… monsters… well… help!" The employee looked stunned for a moment before he nodded and said, "alright, follow me."

"What are you two doing get back in formation!" Aldrich yelled at them to wake them from their stupor. Sam and Liam's expressions froze in place as if they were too shocked to respond.

Eliminate it? Aldrich didn't like the sound of that, this was an information quest, shouldn't they prioritize escaping first? Ayemon did emphasize on avoiding any encounters and just getting the bare minimum of information needed to satisfy the requirements of the quest. "I know what you guys must be thinking but we can't be cowards! Think about it when is the next party going to get this quest and when will they arrive? What if that thing preyed on the villagers during that time? Should we, as…

But most importantly this information significantly reduced the possibility of it being done by another member of the family. With many witnesses seeing the pair go down and into the well willingly.

Aldrich didn't go there immediately after they stopped talking but waited for a few minutes before he approached them. If he went right after they stopped talking they might suspect him of overhearing them. He told the others in the shop that he was going to ask them a question so he had to do that to prevent them from finding any discrepancies. "Oh, Sam, Liam, I came over to ask if we should get any small shields too. A sword is good but a shield could be very good for beginners." Sam and Liam turned…

"Alright, alright, did you guys have breakfast yet?" Sam asked. "No, not yet." Answered Aldrich and the other two shook their heads. "Lets go then it's my treat." Aldrich took notice of Sam and Liam's badges on their chest, they had the two wings of the guild's sigil but it was also different. This one had a green background and the number 1 in between the wings. The Guilds district was as the name implied, home to most guilds headquarters in Voryhrm.

This place looked like a respectable hotel rather than a guild hall. it was brightly lit with moss lamps and decorated with green drapes over the half covered windows. The tables and chairs were made of high quality Redwood, the chairs were cushioned with silk. The chandeliers were elegantly designed in a simple but artistic fashion, the light green carpets were lined with golden intricate designs. "Next." The…
