Okay, wow.  :) That's a good question.<br/><br/>I think Xeno did some heroic things in his day, which might have drawn some attention too him.<br/><br/>What she did was fairly recent.  Maybe the merchant or one of his employees was in a tavern where Lucian was singing. He heard a song about Xeno's exploits and said something along the line of, "I have a story for you.  Do you know about Xeno's apprentice?"<br/><br/>If you had sung a song about it before meeting Mandy, it also would have meant you hadn't met Keelan's character yet.<br/><br/>MAybe a few weeks after writing the song about Mandy, Lucien met Mandy and Lanethe in person and took it as his cue to begin his own adventuring career?
