>Have a seat.
>We've got her attention now, eh, b'yes.
>"I'll try to keep things simple, the story's a bit complicated. I'll start with the 'old' part, if that's okay."
>"Precisesly one person in Easthaven recognized the blight for what it was; the local goddess, who also serves as the local healer. Apparantly it existed hundreds of years ago, during a particularly difficult time for the continent. She told me all she could about it, but if I'm honest, it wasn't as much as I would have liked. Bits and pieces that didn't violate the 'sacred trust of prayer'. She did tell me, however, that she knew of no cure for the blight, at least none for humanoids. She came up with a way to slow its progress, but not cure it outright. And none of the doctors I consulted in Braston even knew as much as she did."
>"But, as your secretary pointed out, I'm a Seeker. Finding things that other people don't think exist is what I do. And since I'd exausted every lead I had on Estval, I came here."
