Arturia/Description of Lord Ruairi's Land
From Create Your Own Story
Duran brightens. "Well, lass, that I can tell you something about."
Apparently, Lord Ruairi lives on a large plot of land which is mostly wild forest. You ask if it is a forest with magical beings, but Duran cannot say.
"It probably has as many as any other forest," he says with a shrug. This isn't very helpful, as a forest can be saturated with magic or filled entirely with non-magical flora and fauna. But you let it pass, as it is obvious that Duran doesn't have much information in the first place.
It also contains the village which you are to stop at first, and a couple other almost-isolated villages. But otherwise there aren't many people. Lord Ruairi's manor is located on an island in the middle of a large lake.
"Sounds like a recluse," you remark.
Apparently, he likes to conduct experiments in magery at that location. But that's just a rumor.
You ask about the defensibility of the area. Duran replies that it isn't a good place for an army. Also, people do not like to approach a mage of Lord Ruairi's caliber. You nod, thinking this makes sense, especially if he is strong enough to set fire to things. Although it's only a rumor he's a fire mage.
The talk evolves into a debate on the pros and cons of defending an area such as Lord Ruairi's land, and from there you move on to other topics.
