During an afternoon at Fresh Landscapes, in the sector of Agrarian, community organization leader Eadric Harding is talking with innkeeper Etne Schenk, about recent troubles happening near Agrarian's border. He says to her: "It's always a pleasure to see you around here. I'm glad you could share that information with us."

Wise and influential, Eadric is the one who communicates Agrarian's issues and needs to Véritas' government.

The first floor of Etne Schenk's Inn. An elegantly decorated place, aesthetically distinct from most buildings in Agrarian. It is frequented primarily by travelers and well-off individuals due to Etne's questionable prices.

"She locks mosts of the rooms whenever she can. Some have multiple deadbolts. Everyone says she's becoming paranoid."

He refers to it as his "base of operations", where he prepares for farming tasks and sells his products to clients in the western region of Véritas. Connected to his house is a stable for some of his livestock and most of his tools.

"This place is like three times bigger than my house. And you say you live alone?"

Faucher's House, on a cold, cloudy day. Surrounded by forest, this area in Arbor is home to Gerlinde, a healer nicknamed the hermit due to living mostly in isolation. Nonetheless, many people come to her house for medical assistance. Some others do errands for her, such as Ekkehard, who is carrying a cart with goods to the front door.

"Just a few more steps and I'll be done with the errand... why does she have to live this far from everyone?"

#rpgmaker #indiedev #gamedev #tofindananswer

Arbor's border, late afternoon. Once a trade route between Véritas and Vérum, the place is now heavily patrolled and restricted due to conflicts between both nations. Soldiers, authorized merchants and church members are seen in this area. Some of them are talking between the buildings and tents, while others are keeping watch from the observation towers or the walls that mark the edge of Arbor.

"Step back immediately! Access to this area is only allowed for authorized people."

Conversation between two people, while part of Lavitásphera is shown in the background. The screen moves through the sector of Appraise and its immense buildings, towards the Great Wall and Lake at the north. A dialogue says: "What's with him? Is he not interested in defending our kingdom?"
