Stone Claw was abuzzed with rumors and news once more! Only this time it was a bit less romantic and a touch more political.
"So...I should be shocked that the patriarch of the Zhen Clan is technically a criminal from another continent because....why?," a recently reformed drunk asked his new mercenary companions, "We're in Stone Claw man, at least a third of the citizens here probably has a bounty in another kingdom."
"Sometimes three!"
"Right."
"No, no," a bloodliner mercenary with rabbit ears interjected, "The thing that makes this crazy is that it turns out the late matriarch of the Zhen Clan, heavens bless her soul, turned out to be a princess of one of the biggest powers in Roaring Tide!"
"Fucking what?!"
"Yeah! Story goes the matriarch was to be engaged to some prince for political reasons-"
"Of fucking course," the mercenaries said simultaneously.
