She nodded.. and made sure to not look as if she was checking out the crouching elf-woman.<br/><br/>Then she shrugged, seeming a bit relieved at Taris openness.. "Got it 'mam, you just never know, some nobles get rather quickly displeased and that gets you disciplined quite throughoutly in turn." The woman interjected as she heard of a forward base.<br/><br/>"There's few groups powerful enough to set base in Hawken territory... and none would last long.<br/><br/>As for my name..: Xara, Xara Eingeschworen, military numer 144713." The guard responded, then chuckled. "You are oddly rev... open for a noble, if I might say so... a serpent? Well, there is some stupid rumour..." The guard waved her hand, whilest  Taris examined the ring.. it seemed.. to conjure some sort of... wait, was that a key? A specialized magical key, that would react with the right place and door, a key that could not be stolen and by most would not be understood as one either...<br/><br/>"Well, if you're this.. open minded I guess I could tell you the rumours." She cleared her throat.<br/>"The mightiest assasine-group of this world styles themselfs after the seven deadly sins of humanity. Each factions leaders is some kind of inhuman monster with incredible abilities. Ever heard of the Valenlands? It's said it was once a great and prosperous sorcerer-kingdom, almost on par with one of the lesser kingdoms like Maldur." A proper born Hawken of course considered any kingdoms lesser to Hawken.<br/>"It's said that their group was hired to destroy that kingdom, but they send only a single.. being, Wrath, to do it, and that's how the Valenlands became what they are today... so as you can tell, it's just silly fairytales. Only reason I bring this up is because that ring would be the symbol of one of their groups, the Serpent of Envy.<br/><br/>I'd guess these are some instigators, propably from those regalian bastards that use these old fairytales to intimidate the believers." The woman shook her head. "Pathetic creatures. They deserved their fate."
