Rohand's Brandy
You say, 'Hail, Captain Rohand'
Captain Rohand says 'Greetings, friend, and welcome to the Mermaid's Lure. Here, we sell fishing supplies and some imported goods from far-off lands. And, if you've got a few minutes, I could even tell you a [story] or two.'
You say, 'What story?'
Captain Rohand says 'Stories? Stories? I saw more adventure before I was ten years tall than you'll see in your whole miserable existence. I've been everywhere, [Odus], [Faydwer], [Kunark]. . . You name it, and I can tell ya a little something 'bout it. . . If you buy me a sip of brandy, of course!'
You say, 'Tell me about Odus.'
Captain Rohand says 'You haven't lived until you've seen Odus. Erud was the first human to cross the sea, and he founded the great city of Erudin. The trade routes from here to Odus are busy and prosperous, but can also be very dangerous.'
You say, 'Tell me about Faydwer.'
Captain Rohand says 'I call Faydwer the home of the little people. They say the continent was named by the high elves when they landed on its shores long ago. I've even heard tales of an ancient elven vampire who lives there. . . Just another Felwithe legend, I'll bet!'
You say, 'Tell me about Kunark.'
Captain Rohand says 'Even I can't tell you much about that continent. Kunark is a tough place, populated by even tougher creatures. I hear the high elves of Faydwer have been trying for years to establish a small port on Kunark's hostile shores.'
Captain Rohand says 'Yeah, this is just what I've been craving!'
