Kingdom of Ahner In times of old, ages past, the honourable Orehs and the
scurrilous Dullurds strove to best each other. The struggle was
an old one, with each faction in turn seizing the upper hand.
Happening across the Tricky Troll Tavern then, a weary
traveler seeking to sell looted Dragon Guard armor
may overhear a heated exchange between Belemer, the
proprietor of the aforementioned hostelry, and Dapper Dean, a
regular patron.
"Them Dullurds is good for bizness," Belemer can be heard to
exclaim. "The gold they put across my bar "Rubbish!" retorts
Dapper Dean, "whilst gold they may have a plenty, they are a
witless crowd to a man! Far better the Orehs who at least have
decency and honour about them."
"Decency and honour don`t pay the bills! Wits don`t make for
good eatin' nor comfy livin'!" replies the tavern owner, running
a sweaty palm across his bulging money pouch. "It's coin that
makes the world go round my friend!"
At this juncture a curvaceous wench, Florencia, interrupts the
pair. With a sparkle in her eye and a wry grin she chuckles
"Now now lads, no need to get all heated. It's the cusomter
who comes first in this tavern. Dullurd or Oreh, the customer is
always right and gold is gold no matter whence it comes!"
Moving to a quiet table to await refreshments, the traveler may
mull over the scene just witnessed. Quite what is occurring in
this realm? Who are the two factions so obviously opposed?
What are their interests and who might triumph in the battle?
Clearly further investigation is required .. Date Posted - 03.21.2004
