Ash

Ash ponders for a moment before responding to Dottins.

*I'm looking for a powerful figure who specializes in animating wooden statues. He or she is in the city of Aelcliff, in Durburn province. I suppose I'm looking for information about the political and physical situation in this place, since I don't know Bavia at all. Of course, if you know of the individual I'm talking about, any information would be astonishingly helpful as well.*

Ash glances down for a moment, trying to figure out how to answer the extremely open-ended second question.

*It's hard for me to know what I'm offering without knowing what you're interested in. I have my own stories to share, gossip of this and other worlds. I am a diviner of some ability, so if you have a particular topic of interest, here or elsewhere, there's a good chance I could help. Or I have a little money. It might be easier for me to ask: what would interest in you in return?*
