A large Elf Dripping wet trudges into the tavern..

*looking a might confused* "Volaire.... Ive never seen this place listed on any charts. "

"Surely you have heard of the Aridnadian Empire. Where are you from exactly?"

Jade sits back in her chair and crosses her arms trying to get a read on this stranger.

*shakes his head*. "Nope sorry, I wasnt aware of a 4th Empire on Terra. I know there is very little trade through the far end of the western gap. I figured Someone would have mentioned it to me last time I was up this far. Ive done Business with all 3 of the major Economic players and many of the smaller city/state countries. Aridnadian name has never once been spoken to me in my 14 years at sail."

Listening in on the conversation before her, Astra finishes her martini. She dig in her bag and pays for the meal and her drinks.

“So, I’ve got a politician turned sailor and a…” she looks Jade up and down. “…Apologies but who are you? You seem to know quite a lot about Volaire.”

"But where are you from exactly? This is just so odd..."

Jade turns her attention to the other elf.

"My name is Jade. I represent the barony of Seshtau. You seem to also be a new face in town. What is your name?"

*in a terse tone*" Im from a small kingdom along the south of the continent. A place I havent seen in near 20 years and I fear will be many many more before I can return to my home if my home is still there"
