Gavin's Conversation with Welin the Priest of Moure and oracle.
Welin stands in silence for a moment and makes a silent prayer.
"My Lady tells me that unfortunately your youngest brother has been taken
to his resting place with Borlan. He has been resting for the last
4 years. Your older brother is still alive and somewhat well but
unable to return to you at this time. He finds himself unexpectedly
trapped by duty on the ocean. Seek knowledge of him at the docks at Rivers'End
and at least you might gain some knowledge of him."
He pauses and sighs. "You will meet your young love again soon.
She will need your help but you could not accomplish what she needs done
until you work within the world for a time gathering both experience and
friends within the world. One year hence she will come to you and
ask your help and then you will learn her fate. To allow you to learn
of it earlier would not help her or you."
Continued conversation with Welin
Gavin: After a short pause he turns his head slitly towards welin still
looking at the ground with his fist tighting in rage around the small mounds
of dirt he made ( the rage that is building within him can be heard in
his voice)"can i know how he died?""and who killed my brother?"
Welin stands quietly for several minutes. No one appears to move
or react in any way to your display of emotion. After several minutes
of grief. Welin looks at you. "Now now Child, I understand.
However, the time for grief must pass for a bit for some things are private.
Pain is the most private of emotions."
He pauses for a moment. "I do not know specifically why he died
but he did die in honor defending a cause he considered to be right by
one who was hungry and wished to eat. He went to rest in Rivers'End.
If you wish to know more of your brother's end inquire in the golden bucket
in the poorest district of Rivers'End."
