Annan Winter arrived at Frostwater Harbor,
was it because the Winter Duchy had made arrangements...
— or was it because he was being pursued and had nowhere else to go?
This would greatly influence the subsequent negotiations between Bishop Daryl and Annan.
"This crafty old man is quite the ghost..."
Annan clicked his tongue.
This gold-toothed fat man, who had lived for who knows how long and whose age was a mystery, seemed like a genial old fellow on the surface, but Annan knew all too well... that it was precisely these seemingly benign types who were the most difficult to deal with.
Of course.
The main reason was that Annan did not know what Bishop Daryl really wanted to do.
As long as he could ascertain his true intentions, that would be good enough.
For now, Bishop Daryl apparently had some request for Annan, but he did not know Annan's background, nor what he was planning to do.
