Roland had a warm voice and a sweet presence, appearing to be a nice man, and indeed he didn't seem to be a bad person. In fact, he really wasn't, and even if he were, it didn't seem that he would do anything to this group of ordinary people. He mentioned, for example, that there was a watchtower not far from where the battle was to begin. The history of that tower was very ancient, supposedly built long before the fall of Vafidia, with considerable historical significance. He argued that even without the battle between the Revenge Shadow Rider and the unknown Saudi driver, the tower was well worth a thorough visit.
