[Dialogue]
You eavesdropped on the conversations about Northville situation. With the changing weather, the village chief of Ryeham is opting for plating Gemvines in Northville too.	[Dialogue]
You eavesdropped on the conversations about Northville situation. With the changing weather, the village chief of Ryeham is opting for plating Gemvines in Northville too.
Tom 	I heard that the wheat fields in Northville will soon be acquired by Lord Franz.
Tom 	It won't be long before Northville is growing those expensive grapes, just like Southville.
Tony	What? Wasn't the village chief of Ryeham opposed to growing grapes? Did he back down in the end?
Tom 	He had no choice... You've seen how rich the people in Southville have gotten these past couple of years. It was all because of the grapes.
Tony	Everyone in Northville was green with envy. Who doesn't want to be rich? The old chief couldn't hold back the sea of change.
Tom 	Dura above... if there are grapes to the south and grapes to the north, Ryeham should just change its name to Grapeville!
Check Out The Sound : It's very lively in the city. Investigate the crowded area.
[Dialogue]
You encounter Lord Franz, the owner of the manor. He is the one encouraging Southville villagers to plant Gemvine grapes. The man is arrogant and not at all friendly toward you. Approaching the mansion, you discover that Lord Franz came to Holistone to meet Lady Vala, only to be turned away.	[Dialogue]

Aloof Maid 	Thank you for considering my lady. However, she said that is she needed anything, she would instruct us on what to do rather than trouble you.
Noble Individual	She does not need to be so polite. The lady has come a long way, and it is my duty to be hospitable to guests.
Noble Individual	Should she have time today, might I be fortunate enough to meet her? I have prepared a rare gift for her.
Aloof Maid 	Lord Franz, sir, I'm afraid my lady is terribly busy today and really cannot see you. Please return another day.
Franz 	...
Valen 	Lord Franz does not seem to be in a great mood today, I see. I heard General Hogan mention that a noblewoman lives in this house and that she has come from the capital.
Franz 	And where did this bottom feeder come from? Talking about me behind my back? Begone.
Valen 	Ahem... Nice to meet you, Lord Franz. You're different from what I imagined.
Valen 	I heard you were so rich and swanky that even the fountain on your estate was made of gold. I imagined you'd look like a fine gold bar.
Franz 	Impertinent scoundrel! No wonder your mouth emits such dross when base wretches like you grow up eating only filth!
Valen 	Fine, fine. I might well be a base wretch, but that can't be said of [Player's name].
Player 	[Option 1] I'm just a common mage.
Player 	[Option 2] I'm a magister of great renown!
Franz 	Oh, no... You look like you're barely half-trained. Don't call yourself a magister when you only know a few spells.
Franz 	Hmph. I wager you never attended the Serene Lyceum, am I right?
Hammie 	Hm... the magister didn't really study that much there.
Franz 	See! I thought so much. Peasants like you don't belong in a place like that.
Hammie 	You've misunderstood... Lord Cocky Highbutt.
Hammie 	The magister didn't really study at the Lyceum because he was teaching there!
Player 	What? Really?
Hammie 	Yes! You journaled about that part of your life, and you allowed me to read those entries!
Franz 	What a bunch of tedious liars... Enough. I have an important client to meet and can spare no time to argue with the likes of you.
Franz 	Furthermore, I hate rodents, particularly when they scurry around my property. You'd best not let me catch you around Ryeham. That region falls under my jurisdiction.
Valen 	He certainly wasn't humble. He's essentially saying that Ryeham belongs to him.
Valen 	However, it doesn't look like he was exaggerating, Lord Franz does control most of Ryeham... especially the southern part.
Valen 	You look a bit losy. Allow me to explain. Ryeham is built along the Tranquil River, which divides the region in half, north and south.
Valen 	Two years ago, Southville heeded Lord Franz and dug up its wheat fields to plant grapes instead. They made a lot of money, and nowadays, many villagers regard him as the symbol and source of their wealth.
Player 	What happened to those grapes?
Valen 	They say it's a new grape variety, Gemvine.
Valen 	In all of Esperia, it only grows in Ryeham and is so rare that it can't be bought anywhere else on the market.
Valen 	To expand production, Lord Franz has lobbied the Northville villagers to swap from growing wheat to Gemvine grapes.
Player 	This doesn't feel right.
Valen 	Is this a mage's intitution then? Southville is not that far, so we could go have a look around.
Valen 	But we should probably talk with General Hogan before we go. He's waiting for us near the plaza.
Talk to Eddie : Holistone residents might have noticed something strange. Ask them about it.
[Dialogue]
Witnesses of the fire say that the culprit's attire looked nothing like that of the Scarlet Sorceress'! Valen suggests that you should report this to General Hogan.	[Dialogue]

Eddie 	Mary! I'm so glad you're safe! I heard about the fire last night. I was so worried.
Mary 	Eddie... I saw everything! When the fire broke out, there was a mage in the village. She was standing in the wheat field!
Mary 	She waved her hand and just vanished, after which the field just burst into flames!
Eddie 	What?! Are you saying you saw the culprit?! Mary, take a deep breath and see if you can remember what she looked like!
Mary 	Um... She had red hair down to her mid-back.
Mary 	She was also wearing a hat with a long deather in it and a black dress with gold stripes.
Eddie 	We need to tell this to the Heroic Order!
Chippy	Magister! Listening to that description, it seems like the culprit has to be Mirael! She has red hair and wears a hat and a dress!
Valen 	Do you remember what the Scarlet Sorceress looks like, [Player's name]? I think she was different from the woman's description.
Player	[Option 1] The hair is different.
Valen 	That's right! Mirael has even longer hair. It's like a red carpet.
Player	[Option 2] The hat is different.
Valen 	Yes, and there wasn't feather in Mirael's hat.
Player	[Option 3] The dress is different.
Valen 	Hm.. Mirael was wearing a plain black skirt. There wasn't any gold stripes on it.
Valen 	This is an important piece of information. Before the fire, mages other than Mirael may have been in the village.
Valen 	We need to tell this to General Hogan immediately, [Player's name].
It's time to return to Hogan
===Meet Hogan===
After getting some intel, go talk with Hogan and decide what to do next.

Hogan 	You look serious, [Player's name]. What happened?
Player 	[Option 1] (Talk about the village feud)
Hogan 	Well... Ryeham should never have been divided. Now the citizens on both sides of the river are constantly bickering.
Valen 	I have to point out that this situation started after Lord Franz arrived in Ryeham.
Player 	[Option 2] (Talk about Franz's plan)
Hogan 	I heard that Lord Franz has always wanted to grow grapes in Northville to increase production.
Player 	[Option 3] (Talk about another mage)
Hogan 	What...? This is the first I've heard of that.
Valen 	In short, the intel suggests that the culprit is probably someone other than the Scarlet Sorceress.
Valen 	Uh... she's still a suspect, and who knows if the other red-headed mage is her accomplice. We'll have to keep investigating.
Hogan 	Hmph... We haven't even solved the issue of the changing weather, but here comes more problems.
Hogan 	This case is related to magic, [Player's name], which Valen does not excel at. I'm going to ask for your help.
Hogan 	Are you willing to aid us?
Player 	[Option 1] I'll do it for Mirael.
Hogan 	I'll let her know that you said that.
Hogan 	[Option 2] I'll do it for you, Hogan.
Hogan 	Thank you, my friend.
Player 	[Option 3] I'd rather not.
Valen 	Please... Think of it as a favor for me.
Valen 	I'm afraid that General Hogan will kick me out of the Heroic Order if we don't get to the bottom of this. I'm too young to lose my job.
Player 	Fine then.
Hogan 	Thanks for your help, [Player's name]. Have you figured out what your next move is?
Valen 	We ought to look around Southville. Before identifying the culprit, we should learn more about the grape variety known as Gemvine.
Valen 	We bumped into Lord Franz just now and he wasn't particularly friendly.
Valen 	What if... hypothetically, my sword falls out of its scabbard completely by accident, mind you... and skewers his foot? You'd protect me, right?
Hogan 	...Please keep an eye on him, [Player's name]. I'm afraid he's going to get into trouble.
Hogan 	Then it's all up to you. May Dura above watch over you.
===Go to Southville===
The Northville fire, the weird grapes... Everything points to Southville. Go and find out the truth.
===Defeat the Gruglins===
Valen said there are gruglins ahead. Defeat these strange gruglins.
===Toward Southville===
The way to Southville is somewhat dangerous. Move forward, but be careful.
