1 TEXT_KINGVA101_05441_SEQ_01 Shallow Moor relays an odd job request from someone who apparently knows you by name: one Y'nazqha, a gleaner and younger sister of none other than Y'shtola. She has enlisted your aid in a most unusual quest: to keep her safe while she explores the pages of a magical book left to her by her late father. The nature of the book demands it be kept under careful watch, so Y'nazqha instructs you to come to the gleaners' lodgings in Journey's End at your soonest convenience to learn more.
2 TEXT_KINGVA101_05441_SEQ_02 Y'nazqha informs you that the book in question is entitled <Emphasis>The Merchant's Tale</Emphasis>, a fable passed down in Corvos following the narrative of a young merchant's quest to find a great treasure. While the enchantment imbued within the manuscript makes reading the book almost certainly dangerous, the young gleaner is heartened by your company and appears ready to leap into a world of fiction at your signal.
