"Can you tell me anything I should know about Lao Xia?"
You ask.
"Hah! There are many things, but I will tell you the most important ones. The island you are on is called Shu'Ma, and this place is the most welcoming to outsiders, it is one of the three islands ruled by the Emperor of the Sea. If you travel to other islands they may be less kind, especially those ruled by the Emperor of the Heavens. They believe outsiders bring only misfortune and it has caused... less than kind feelings between the two Emperors. Do not be surprised if people stare, until recently we have not opened our ports to outsiders and many will think you are strange. That being said many merchants have been looking for foreign workers to help them, they do not fear the same way we do they say. Anything more then that and you may as well sit down while I tell you about our land."
The old man says.
"Do you know anything about a halfling named Oz?"
The old man's eyes harden as you speak the name.
"I have heard of him. They say he brings great misfortune to the land wherever he goes. I have heard him called a Trade Prince by other outsiders, he is very rich, very dangerous. I would stay away from him if you are smart."
You nod and begin to digest the information.
"Do you know of a local tavern that we can visit?"
The old man nods and smiles.
"Yes, the Brass Yak it's down the street on the left. You'll see a big statue of a Yak in front of it. Can't miss it."
