Vorken Iceshard says, 'I am Vorken Iceshard, one of the lords of Iceshard manor. In this day and age you can never tell where one's allegiances are. Leave my servants in peace or you may leave in pieces.'

You say, 'What allegiances?'

Vorken Iceshard says, 'Loyalties, of course, little one. Each day I see more mercenaries come to Kael, seeking their fortunes. King Tormax will use your kind to wage war on the dragons and upon the Coldain. But I question the motives of your kind.'

Vorken Iceshard says, 'My motives are simple. I will acquire as much power and prestige as possible before I die. Such is life for me, a constant search for power and wealth.

Or do you truly believe in the rhetoric of King Tormax which advocates that we eradicate the dragons?'

You say, 'I seek power and wealth'
