Perhaps one of the more seasoned residents of Enodia can shed some light on the mysterious serpentine individual who was observing the evaluations the other day, as my guide was quite dumbfounded by them and couldn't begin to tell me who they were. The evaluations, by the way, were certainly a highlight of the grand tour.

Anyway, hello. My name is Dr Darcy Musiał and I've just joined the Research division. This is my first official posting at an IRIS station, though I'm not unfamiliar with the ongoing research into the Riftlands. My work primarily focuses on the conservation of settlements and infrastructure that's previously been overtaken by Riftland expansion. I'd prefer not to get too close to any giant moles, though!

Pleased to make your acquaintance.

I’m exempt from the direct land tax and you’ve granted me the privilege to raise my own armies and wage private wars.

And all just to get you to take the knee. What a rube I am.

On the one hand, feudal societies: very bad and oppressive. On the other, nobody issues a royal edict to build a granary and controls the price of wheat like you do.

And here I thought you liked me for my new fangled Enlightenment ideals.

Once Equinox opens and no one is reliant on my communal granaries anymore, I’m going to be totally screwed.

Big fan of the new movements in art you’re bringing in. Feeling less certain about the intellectual developments that will lead to laissez-faire commodity markets in a few hundred years.

It’s okay, we’ll be impoverished landed gentry together.

Okay okay, that’s enough. We’re going to give Dr. Darcy here the wrong impression about our whole thing.

[nolitangere]

Oops.

This is why you can't have jester's privilege. I am too sensitive to your opinions.
