It's the early morning of 15 September, of the 458th Year of the Imperial Age. Outside it's still dark and a gentle rain is starting to fall.<br/>You sit in the elegant reception room of the Seneschal's Public House, center of Faminburg, on a quite comfortable chair, with finely adorned arms and legs and soft, red velvet cushions. In front of you, beyond a big elegant desk, sits the seneschal Marius Groenen, four guards behind him - while other four guards are waiting patiently in front of the door, on the opposite end of the room. This is probably the most luxurious room in the whole Faminburg (but those of you that have traveled enough know well that any noble family in any bigger city of the Kingdom or the near countries have far more luxurious parlors).<br/>The man sitting in front of you is seemingly in his sixties, quite healty - a bit plump -, with short, sparse but well-treated grey hair, a shaved rosy face and generous sideburns. He's elegantly, but not too pompously, dressed in red and green, colours of Faminburg.<br/>The guards wear a quite simple red and green uniform, a chainmail and a simple metal helmet, holding - relaxed - long halberds; as tradition, they have long moustaches and hair but shaved beards - as a distinctive trait, since in the Blue Kingdom is general use for young men to shave entirely.<br/>A big but rather simple candlelabra hangs from the ceiling; in its light you see your two companions, unusual people whom you never met before.<br/><span style="color: #FF0000">[Please, in your first post spend some time to describe yourselves to the others] </span><br/><br/>At last, after keeping you waiting while scribbling something on some papers, the old man smiles at you three, then says with stern but kind voice:<br/>"Welcome, you gentleman - (nodding at the young, black haired man sitting in the center) - and fine ladies -(nodding at the silver haired faerie and, with a little hesitation, at the naga girl). I hope this hearing will be fruitable for you and for us as well."<br/>"Our beloved city has many problems; some of them can be solved through politics or common sense, others through money, others through the discipline and bravery of our guards or the benevolence of our King; but other problems needs some ... peculiar skills, that I humbly believe you might possess.<br/>For some of you, life in the Blue Kingdom is surely, I'm sorry, harder than for most of the  subjects; I mean no offense, but some ... ethnies ... have proved less trustworthy than others - in a storical, general speaking, of course - for the safety of mankind. (He stares at the naga for a moment). But ... trustworthiness can be proved, as you surely know. And this comes with great benefits.<br/>And for those of you that does not need such ... certifications ... there can be other prizes, as well. And from this ... collaborations ... others could follow, as well, granting you greater and greater trust and ... other benefits as well."<br/>He pauses for some moments.<br/>"My guests, lady Tianna, sir Xarces, lady ... uhm ... Annie ... before I explain you about the favour I want to ask, is there anything you want to ask or say?"
