This outcast ashlander you have killed, Zallay Subaddamael, betrayed Urshilaku hospitality and killed the husband of our trader Kurapli. I had promised her justice, and my failure to obtain it for her has troubled me. This gift pleases me, and does you honor.

Yes, I understand. Don't give it another thought. Now, what would you wish to know about the Ashlanders and the Nerevarine cult?

Please take no offense, but I already own a copy of this book. But you could not know this, and it in no way diminishes the pleasure of your gift. Again, I thank you, and in return, I offer a gift of my experience of the Ashlands and its people. What would you wish to know about the Ashlanders and the Nerevarine cult?

This is a gift for me? A copy of "The Five Far Stars." Noble words of noble warriors. I gratefully accept your gift. My people have never loved the written word, and I lament their ignorant scorn for such common yet potent magic. I thank you, and I honor your courtesy, %PCName. It would please me to return your courtesy by answering your questions. What would you wish to know about the Ashlanders and the Nerevarine cult?

I understand. You wish to give me a suitable gift, but you do not know me well enough to choose such a gift, or you cannot find or afford a gift you know to be suitable for me. Well. Let us take your earnest thought and effort as a token of your gift. You have behaved courteously, and I am inclined to help you. What would you wish to know about the Ashlanders and the Nerevarine cult?

Yes. A gift that shows you have taken the care to learn something of the receiver. For example, I love poetry. No stranger could be expected to know this, but a book of poetry given to me by a stranger shows the giver respects me, and has made a special effort to know and please me. But now, I have answered your question, and would like some time to myself. If you will excuse me?

Challenge me. The gift I want from you is your blood.
