Dialogue
Accepting the quest
Mord Souq... Not just full of Mord, but Humes and all manner of others, too! It has long been a refuge for folk displaced by the Flood, so the population is nothing if not diverse.
Oh, have you met a Mord before? They might look like shifty little blighters, but a more welcoming lot you could never wish to meet!
Speaking of which, we should pay our respects to Master Ghen Gen. I'll go ahead and let him know we've arrived.
Optional dialogue
Go on! Introduce yourself to Master Ghen Gen!
Speaking with Ghen Gen
Start of voiced cutscene.What will you say?
So this is a Mord...?
That's a kobold!
What beady eyes...
Master Ghen Gen, this is the friend of the Exarch I was telling you about.
Very good, very good! Though friend or no, all are welcome in Mord Souq.
"Souq" is Mordish for "city." As things stand, this souq boasts the largest and busiest marketplace in all Amh Araeng.
You'll find ore from the mines here, of course, but all manner of other things too─many of them rare.
As I told you before, not many visit Amh Araeng by choice, but Mord Souq's a different story. Merchants come from malms around to purchase the relics the Mord dig up.
Aye, that they do, for Mord do not dismiss the spoils of the earth. We clean them and polish them and reveal to the world their true value!
That is why they come here! Come from far away! Come with much money!
And so our souq is always busy, busy, busy! No such thing as a thing no one needs!
You say that every time, Master Ghen Gen! Some sort of family motto, wasn't it?
Or perhaps a Mord philosophy─for which we should all be very grateful. Would that everyone was so willing to take in refugees regardless of race or creed.
Now, then─if you intend to spend any time here, you'll want to gain the trust of the locals.
And there's a little custom all newcomers are expected to observe...
The cracking of the coinpurse! You buy one thing from the market. Price can be low or high, just as long as you buy!
...As the good Mord says. In fact, the Exarch sent a little something to cover this very expense.
A Voeburt gold piece, no less! The first I've held in years.
Several merchants turn their heads and a crowd swarms the player.
Voeburt gold!? Real Voeburt gold!?
Here, newcomer! Crack your coinpurse with me!
No, no, you want my goods, newcomer! I have jars and pots, all smooth and shiny!
Over here!
Come and look!
You buy! You buy!
Enough of that! Calm, I say!
This one must still journey through the barrens. Nothing bulky! Nothing heavy! No pots!
Nothing better for the road than a full belly. Spend that piece at Rhon Ron's place, yes? Eat for three before you leave!
End of cutscene.
Optional dialogue
Speaking with Rhon Ron, and browsing the available wares
Welcome to Rhon Ron's, traveler! I have wares to empty your purse and fill your belly!
Take your time! Stare and sniff before you choose! But no drooling on the merchandise, yes?
Browse Rhon Ron's wares. You may move the camera as well as zoom in and out. Target a foodstuff and inspect it with /RT/A.
Browsing
Browse the Wares!
Rhon Ron's eatery has a variety of goods available for purchase. Inspect each of his exotic dishes.
Rhon Ron (optional)
Hm? Silly customer, you cannot eat Rhon Ron. Not even for a Voeburt gold piece!
Worms
Everyone's favorite! Plump white worms slathered in honey. Once you eat a “Glazed Wriggler,” you'll never want any other treat!
Bread
I call that "Mushloaf"! The middle is stuffed with bittersweet cactus fruits, so even if the bread dries out, it's still moist inside. Keeps you going in the heat!
Meat
That's my “Everburning Bounty,” made with the best parts of the lizard. Cured with special spicy spices! Some find the smell...challenging, but it'll warm you up on chilly desert nights!
Skewers
Oh, you'll like those! “Chewy Skewers”! Find small frogs hiding under rocks, spear with stick, then roast over fire. Crackly on the outside, gooey on the inside─perfect for snacking!
Start of cutscene.They all look tasty, yes? Which to choose, which to choose!
Which to choose?
Mushloaf.
Ah, very wise! You won't wither on the sands with a gut full of cactus fruit filling!
You have the gold...?
...And done! One Voeburtite honor buys you forty loaves of bread!
Everburning Bounty.
Yes, put some spice in your step! You won't feel the cold this night...and probably not the next one either!
You have the gold...?
...And done! One Voeburtite honor buys you ten sides of lizard meat!
Chewy Skewer.
Mmm, chewy! A quick, easy meal to carry you across the desert!
You have the gold...?
...And done! One Voeburtite honor buys you sixty-five skewers!
Glazed Wriggler.
Too good to resist, eh? (That's what I would've chosen!)
You have the gold...?
...And done! One Voeburtite honor buys you fifteen jars!
The player eats the food and slumps over.
Will you eat the lot?
Every last mouthful!
What an appetite! What a belly! A new legend is born in Mord Souq!
I think I'll...sh-share...the rest...
Our visitor invites us to feast! Let us give thanks for his/her great generosity—and small appetite!
The crowd cheers.
Consider your coinpurse cracked! I am pleased to accept your custom, and Ghen Gen will be pleased that you honored ours!
...Keeping the merchandise down, yes? No returns!
End of cutscene.
Optional dialogue
Speaking with Ghen Gen
I was watching from here, Forename! You honored our custom, and with great relish!
You will always be welcome in Mord Souq─if you need anything in Amh Araeng, we are here to provide!
