Sanibonani! Umlingo at your service. Who has the pleasure of meeting the future 'King of Knaves'? Krystallia holds many secrets and with secrecy comes hidden treasure. No, I'm not talking about mere gold, but magical amulets, weapons which are attuned to the elements, and other items that have been previously seen as myth. Unfortunately, in the search of one particular lore, I find myself captive by a beautiful, but intimidating, noblewoman of the Sumerki Elves. How can I rid myself of an enchanted tower? Alas, I must shake the hands of a Teufel and become indebted to a devil!

Umlingo the Rogue Warlock

The dining hall of the Lesnoy Terem is just as grand as the lobby. There are many seats set in line. To my surprise I see white cloth covering the table surfaces. 'I have not seen this etiquette in other towns.' There are some folks eating their meals. The food smells delicious! 


We take a table far removed from others. Having a place to lay my heavy bag is a relief. I would be irritated to deal with another's complaints regarding the space removed from my belongings. Once seated, a server approaches with glasses and a water pitcher.


"Sasibo," Skrytvor nods. "Butylku vina pozhaluysta."


Beneath the table, I tap my knee. In this setting, I feel out of place. 'Here's a lone rogue amongst a host of... nobles.' I take a sip of water. To my surprise, it bubbles! I place the glass down. I watch as the server leaves towards a removed kitchen. With a confused glance, I point towards the 'water.'
