Mark Day

Shangruuh - Alcarrid Envoy: Good to see you. Go talk to the Uzzer Elder: you won't believe what they have to say for themselves.

Alabrais - Science Councillor: I'm rather busy. If you have council business then you know where to find me; otherwise I'd request that you leave me alone.

Alabrais - Science Councillor: The name's Alabrais. If you wish to discuss Mark Day, could we make it quick? I am a man of science, not a man of the people, and I have rocks to study.

Alabrais - Science Councillor: I have already withdrawn my support for the festival. The others may still support it though.

Chirot - Broker Councillor: I'm rather busy. If you have council business then you know where to find me; otherwise I'd request that you leave me alone.

Chirot - Broker Councillor: Chirot's the name! Always happy to meet someone new, particularly if they have coin in their purse, or goods to fence. But why do I think you're here to talk about Mark Day rather than profit?

Chirot - Broker Councillor: I have already withdrawn my support for the festival. The others may still support it though.

Brialka - Historian Councillor: I'm rather busy. If you have council business then you know where to find me; otherwise I'd request that you leave me alone.

Brialka - Historian Councillor: The name's Brialka. I am a historian, and this - little human - is a Dragonkin Vault. Should you wish to discuss Mark Day, then I am more than happy to explain why I think it's best for our future.

Brialka - Historian Councillor: I have already withdrawn my support for the festival. The others may still support it though.

Shangruuh - Alcarrid Envoy: Best news I've heard all week! Not only has Fuzan Mark Day been cancelled, but the Elder's powers have been reduced! You're one step closer to the Mirror Lens.

Alabrais - Science Councillor: Emotional, non-scientific nonsense. Who is to say that the Mark is equivalent to enslavement?

Alabrais - Science Councillor: I always assumed the KotHaar worked for Fuzan voluntarily. But that assumption is unverified. Interesting.

Alabrais - Science Councillor: An empty supposition. If Fuzan wanted us burned, we would be ash by now. Think scientifically, young one.

Chirot - Broker Councillor: Oh bravo, very dramatic. But drama won't make me rich, will it?

Chirot - Broker Councillor: True, true. His raids have done a lot of damage to my business so far. But gaining Fuzan's protection will stop all that, won't it?

Chirot - Broker Councillor: Oh boo hoo. There is always a hierarchy - people on the top, people on the bottom. Maybe you're just resentful that you're not on top, like me.

Brialka - Historian Councillor: Let's not go overboard. I know many see me as an emotional historian, but I'm no fool. Fuzan hasn't burned us before, and he's unlikely to do it now.

Brialka - Historian Councillor: Oh my, what a good point you make! I'm not just making a decision for the living, I am making it for - perhaps - multitudes more.

Brialka - Historian Councillor: What do you mean by control? I'm sure Fuzan has better things to do than puppet an optimistic little historian from Uzzer!

Shangruuh - Alcarrid Envoy: Why do the Uzzer garou have to be so insufferable? I came here to trade goods, but the Uzzer tribe are too busy planning for 'Fuzan Mark Day'.

Shangruuh - Alcarrid Envoy: There are three nobles on the Council, and you'll need to convince them all to drop the Fuzan Festival thing. They're all out in the wider region, putting their heads in the sands.

Alabrais - Science Councillor: A reasonable hypothesis. There are no data points where Fuzan has constructed systems or edifices, rather than taken control of them.

Alabrais - Science Councillor: You certainly use imaginative imagery! But imagery has little value to a garou of science.

Alabrais - Science Councillor: The world is a complicated place, young one. Like in geology, sometimes soft rock aligns with hard. I cannot agree with you.

Chirot - Broker Councillor: A cut! A CUT! He wouldn't, would he? Well, I will just have to swindle more to make up for it.

Chirot - Broker Councillor: Boring! Everyone can be bought. If anyone threatens me, I tuck some gems into their belt.

Chirot - Broker Councillor: The most powerful rise to the top. They always do. There is plenty of room for Fuzan at the top and Chirot slightly underneath.

Brialka - Historian Councillor: You've done this debating thing before, haven't you? Yes, you are right - historically, the garou have been strongest together, and weakest apart.

Brialka - Historian Councillor: I must stop you there! The Elder is strong-willed but trustworthy. Nothing in his history points to betrayal, and history is what I care about.

Brialka - Historian Councillor: The young are so exciting to watch! But history tells me that open rebellion is more dangerous than any Mark Day.

Shangruuh - Alcarrid Envoy: They don't know how terrible, awful and painful the Mark is! At any moment, Fuzan could decide to puppet our bodies. Nobody should willingly get the Mark.

Shangruuh - Alcarrid Envoy: That will be Alabrais. He's a geologist. You'll find him wherever there are big rocks, in the direction of Fuzan's Volcano. He's a garou of logic, and his love is for science.

Shangruuh - Alcarrid Envoy: That's Brialka, the historian. He'll be outside the Pyramid, north of here. He is the emotional type, loves his history, and will do anything to ensure a legacy for his people.

Shangruuh - Alcarrid Envoy: Ugh, Chirot. He's a glorified graverobber, stealing treasures from the desert. He is as selfish as they get, only concerned about his wealth and interests. You'll find his camp to the south of here.

Shangruuh - Alcarrid Envoy: Well, good luck all the same.

Alabrais - Science Councillor: Promises almost never hold, young one. As a bond, it is one of the weakest. You will need a more scientifically proven argument than that.

Alabrais - Science Councillor: You make a compelling argument. Both the KotHaar and the Mark show an orientation towards overbearing control. I will withdraw my support for the Mark Day.

Alabrais - Science Councillor: Many garou will say they are miserable already! Things are relative, young one. You must consider proportional value in your scientific studies.

Chirot - Broker Councillor: How can I NOT think about money? Coins have two sides: power and influence. I love them both.

Chirot - Broker Councillor: You're right! Only Chirot gets to steal from his fellow garou! I am withdrawing my support for the festival. You can tell the Elder that I'm having none of it.

Chirot - Broker Councillor: You misunderstand the mortal condition, my friend. There is always money to be made, ESPECIALLY when things are bad.

Brialka - Historian Councillor: And have the blood of hundreds, perhaps thousands of garou on our hands? History would not be kind to us if that were the case.

Brialka - Historian Councillor: Nothing brings people together like adversity. You are a convincing little human! You have my vote to cancel Mark Day.

Brialka - Historian Councillor: If we dismantle governments every time a mistake is made, then how would we ever learn? History would repeat itself.

Shangruuh - Alcarrid Envoy: The Elder won't change their mind, but the Council might. Please, find Uzzer's councillors near the landmarks of this region. Persuade them that Fuzan Mark Day is the most terrible of terrible ideas.

Shangruuh - Alcarrid Envoy: Please, make space in your inventory so I can give you what I owe you.

Shangruuh - Alcarrid Envoy: You will need to pay attention to what the councillors value. I know a little about each of them, if you are interested?

Shangruuh - Alcarrid Envoy: That will be Alabrais. He's a geologist. You'll find him wherever there are big rocks, in the direction of Fuzan's Volcano. He's a garou of logic, and his love is for science.
