"Yes it is in fact a safe haven. Though there are vagrants and thieves along the path. Scum overall," *Iúdás said, turning his horse around.* "I say burn the lot but they are all fools. Come along then"
*He began to slowly trot towards the city, leading this traveller*
Jeanne
*Ryker followed after him, perking up a bit at the mention of the place being safe. It sounded like an improvement from his hometown anyways, but he could pick up a hint of violence from this one towards those they deemed as 'fools'. Ryker wasn't sure whether or not to take it in the literal sense as that just seemed to be the standard of punishment, but he tried to simply listen along anyways.*"Is the place welcoming of new travelers?"*He asked him.*"I've been given many different thoughts on this... Empire, some of better than others I suppose."
Antoinette
"I know not of what you've heard, but I can assure you. It is by far the greatest empire in all of Drase," *Iúdás told him.* "I breathe for it's safety, and live for it's glory. Nowhere else will you be this safe. It is impossible in every sense."
Jeanne
*Ryker tilted his head at his patriotism.*"The greatest empire?"*He questioned.*"What makes it so much safer than the other empires? Is there some powerful being that protects it?"
Antoinette
"It's been for far much longer than any other empire to my knowledge. And it's army is far greater," *Iúdás said. This man would dare question Silnarias glory?*
Jeanne
"Is this empire often at war?"*He asks the Silnarian, curious to the idea of it having such a large army yet the nation itself didn't seem particularly large in his eyes.*"I've heard a great deal of the neighboring countries having a war going on. Mentia... I believe... Is this place also a part of it?"
Antoinette
"Those whom are great are often opposed by the envious. Unfortunately, the Silnarian Empire is a part of this. Well, unfortunate for them, fortunate for us." *Iúdás chuckled at that joke. This traveller was to learn of the greatness of their empire on this trip.*
Jeanne
"So is that a yes then?"*He asked him in reference to his previous question. As they walked, he kept his gaze out into the trees always remaining half conscious of the surrounding area in case of suddenly being attacked. This place hardly seemed as dangerous in his eyes though. Maybe they had a point about Silnaria being so great.*
