 * What's this? A runeholder dares enter our village?
 * Now that is intriguing. A runeholder possessing the stamp of our ancestors.
 * You truly are an interesting fellow. What is your business here?
 * You want to know more about magic, huh? Too many of you young people get corrupted by it. My advice is to forget all about magic.
 * But since you came all the way here... I can't exactly turn down a plea from a guest.
 * Fine, I shall tell you what you want to know at the banquet today.

 * Everything changed when the runes were discovered. Suddenly, our bonds were tested unlike in any war before.
