Accepting the quest:
Yugiri: When last I spoke with Lord Hien, he said he spent much time in these markets. I had hoped we might find him here today, but alas...
Lyse: Hey, Yugiri, I've been meaning to ask─there are an awful lot of Xaela here, aren't there?
Yugiri: Oh, I assumed you knew. The Azim Steppe has been home to the nomadic tribes of the Xaela since antiquity.
Yugiri: More than fifty roam these lands, and though they do not constitute a nation, there is a hierarchy of sorts, determined through ritual combat.
Lyse: Funny... If they're so busy fighting each other, you'd think the Empire would be able to march in and take the Steppe with ease. I wonder why they haven't...
Gosetsu: Why indeed, Lyse? Why indeed...
Gosetsu: Perhaps they see little value in it, especially given the fierce reputation of the Xaela warriors who would fight tooth and nail to oppose them.
Yugiri: These lands were not made for men. The soil is thin, and the weather unforgiving.
Yugiri: The Xaela found ways to survive, it is true. But they are made of sterner stuff than most imperials─conscript or citizen.
Lyse: Thanks for taking the time to explain. It sounds like I've got a lot to learn. Later, I mean. We're meant to be looking for Hien!
Yugiri: People from many tribes gather in Reunion to trade goods and information. I should be surprised if we cannot learn something of value here.
Yugiri: Let us make our inquiries separately. [Forename], why don't you speak with some of the merchants here?
Gathering information in Reunion:
Chambui: Buuz! Fresh buuz! Your choice of lamb or dzo! Guaranteed to satisfy! How many will you have, miss?
Chambui: Eh? A Doman? Unless another Dazkar is keeping him in her yurt, he is not here. <snort> More fool her if she took a Doman for a husband.
Chambui: But enough about Domans─let us speak of buuz instead! You cannot come to the Azim Steppe and not sample this most traditional of delicacies!
Yesui: What fortune you have to come hither at this time! Freshly slaughtered, every cut available on request. Organs too─hearts, livers, brains. Or a brace of blood sausages, if you desire only a snack!
Yesui: A Doman? Poor meat they make, Domans─ I jest, I jest. Hmm...I did see a young Mol in the company of one some few days ago...
Baidur: Roasted fish with pumpkin! An exotic foreign delicacy, cooked to perfection, beloved without the Steppe! Come, come!
Baidur: You seek Domans? Then you are come to the wrong place, my friend. Delicious as my foodstuffs are, they find little favor with those from the south.
Baidur: Now, if it were Goro you were looking for, on the other hand, then I might be able to help you. They flock to my stall!
Speaking with the Goro horsemaster:
Goro Horsemaster: I have brought you a new brush, my beloved. So smooth and silky your mane shall be─the envy of every other man...
Goro Horsemaster: Hm? Say again? You are seeking who?
Goro Horsemaster: Ah, the Doman. I know of whom you speak. He comes and goes with a Mol girl.
Goro Horsemaster: Though I could not describe her. I only know that she is Mol because I heard them talking as they passed.
With the chat mode in [Say], use your keyboard or the software keyboard to enter any phrase that contains "Mol" to ask the Xaela in Reunion if they are of the Mol tribe.
With the chat mode in Say, enter any phrase containing “Mol” to search for a Mol woman:
Narengawa: I am Ura, if you must know. Come down from the mountains in the north. If there is nothing else...
Ucugen: You take me for a Mol!? I am Oronir! Compare me not with ones so weak and lowly!
Cirina: ...Yes? I am Mol. My name is Cirina. May I help you?
Speaking with Cirina:
Cirina: Oh... Oh, I see. You are looking for Hien. In that case─
Masgud: How urgent this business must be to leave our conversation unfinished!
Masgud: The kinsai. Will you buy it? There is but one bundle left. If not, then─
Cirina: I will, I will! Though I had not thought to pay so high a price...
Masgud: It is a bargain for which you should be grateful. If you lack the coin, then the fault is your own, and you will leave with nothing.
Cirina: Please, I must have the kinsai! The gods themselves requested it! We are bound to their will!
Masgud: ...Pay me the difference in whisperroot. I will sell it to the next apothecary to pass through Reunion, and we will each feel fairly treated.
Masgud: But do not tarry. Should another come before you, coin in hand, I will not refuse him.
Cirina: I understand. Thank you for this kindness!
Cirina: I am sorry, but we must speak of Hien later. I cannot leave Reunion without that kinsai...
