Editing Interlude – Halfseekers (Pt. 3)

He did not cry on his old friend's shoulder as it would break the both of them and there was so much to do with so little time, the [[Half-Giant]] waits in line thinking the silly ways of the smaller folks as he is asked a common question by [[Liska Silverfang|Liska]]. He tells her of a time when he met [[Fraerlings]] sharing their funny interaction and then enters [[Liscor]] promising to himself, the deceased [[Moore of Raithland|Moore]] of this reality and the Moore who left for another world that he'll do whatever he can to build a better future.

Beilmark has a more subtle and even more direct approach to investigations compared to [[Zevara Sunderscale|Zevara's]] manner of doing things asking the Half-Giant a number of inquiries such as how he gained his competency with twirling the staff with him telling of the time he followed the [[Nomads of the Sky]] around trying to find a connection to his Half-Giant ancestry with Beilmark understanding seeing a similar thing with how City Gnolls feel about the life of Plains Gnoll. With one last question she asks about his involvement in the city's elections and his plans for if he fails, he tells her that he's a [Green Mage] as well with ideas for business if he fails which he will not, as he leaves Beilmark put him on the list of Crazy Inn People.

To build the good will he desires from the citizen of Liscor he has to go outside of its influence as there is too much flowing into the city at the moment, out of all the nearby locations he goes to [[Esthelm]] as it fit his goals the best as the city is still in a declining state with no true backing even with [[Pelt Dooristone|Pelt's]] help. After getting directions to the best Charm-Expert in the city, Mireden enters ''Malack's Mystiques'' but is not able to find Miss [[Ediya]] there, speaking with [[Malack]] he learns that even with the [[Walled Cities]] they had some business until the [[Witches]] of [[Riverfarm]] held a festival selling their own kind of charms and trinkets. Mireden shares that he has a business proposal for Ediya and possible work for the [Gemcutter] getting taken to someone who's cleaning the [Florist] statue that's been defaced with mud. Cleaning the statue with a quick [[Spells|spell]] Mireden introduces himself to Ediya sharing that he has a proposal for her and the other [Crafters] of Esthelm willing to give a quick demonstration in Liscor, Ediya and Malack gather the artisans of Esthelm for the Lord's proposal hoping that this isn't another [Charlatan] or Golden Triangle Incident.

After recharging the portal for him and the thirty following him, Mireden explains that he plans to teach them a new method of creating charms and what he'll want out of their potential partnership, Ediya expresses their skepticism of his plans as the versatility and short lifespan of charms are rather lackluster but quiets down as he reminds them that he comes from [[The Wandering Inn]]. Mireden, the group of Esthelm's artisans, and the larger crowd that had followed them halt at an altar by the northern gates of Liscor, he points out to them that there is where Moore and [[Ulinde]] of the [[Halfseekers]] had died when facing off against the [[Hag Queens of Aklat Vunn|Hag Queen]] and [[Draugr]]. He asks if they ''feel'' it with Malack unsure of what he's talking about, he then points to the altar for [[Tekshia Shivertail|Tekshia]] and the 5 [[Brotherhood of Serendipitous Meetings|Brotherhood]] members who died fighting the horde of Draugr and names off other significant events that happened around Liscor asking again if they can ''feel'' it. Mireden explains to the crowd that those altars are more than just the materials they are made out of, he then shows three items and their significance and by using the energy coming from Tekshia's altar and his [[faith|belief]] he creates a spear-charm that's gives a bit of courage. He explains that what he used was the meaning coming from the site of power similar to how Witches work with their craft, but that Witches can't harness that power like they can. He speaks on that eventually charms will become commonplace and that they will grow stronger with more belief in them but that the strongest of them will always be made by those who know the reason why they matter. Mireden was able to sell three charms for the day leaving the stall he was at towards another strange and wonderful journey.
