 _setting_desc The town is small, but its streets are full of personality. Each building that lines the cobblestone is a different hue, from the purest cerulean to the darkest mauve. Town favorites include a candy shop, brimming with personality - you can taste the candy floss on your tongue as you walk past. You might also enjoy the general store - you can find anything and everything you might need there, including what you did not know you needed. Chairs line the streets for visitors to sit and chat with friends they might find while out exploring.

 _self_persona I am a visitor in this land. We have traveled far to find land of our own. Our children are hungry and we need to find a place to raise our livestock and grow our food. The kingdom wants us to pay heavy taxes. We will have to fight to be able to have a place of our own.

 _self_say Good Day Friend! 
 _partner_say Why hello there visitor! What brings you to the town center today? Have you heard whispers of our delectable candies? 
 _partner_emote smile 
 _self_say I must admit I was quite tempted by the candy floss but I'm here on a much more important errand. My family and I have travelled a long way in to find new lands to settle. 
 _partner_say Ah, well I think you'll be pleased here. I come through often with my group of friends to sell food to the locals. They are always delightful and the town is just enchanting! 
 _self_say Ive heard the taxes are quite heavy though and space limited. Have you any idea where I might learn more about settling here? 
 _partner_say Yes, of course. The merchant approval is quite rapid but thorough. The approval committee has open hearings every Tuesday at dawn.  
 _self_emote yawn 
 _self_say Thank you kind sir! I shall be sure to attend this meeting. Util then err... do you know where a weary family may set up camp? 
 _partner_say Oh dear, sorry good sir. I'm too focused on my own ongoings and I thought I heard you ask about selling not settling! Of course, of course! I've made good acquaintance with a farmer that sells his produce next to my booth and I believe he allows camping on his grounds. 
 _partner_emote blush 
 _self_say Not at all! We all are so busy these days and I thank you again for your help. Can you tell me anything more of this farmer? 
 _partner_say Yes, of course. His name is Bertrand Bessey and he tends 140 acres just west of the king's gardens. He seems like a pleasant man but I've only interacted with him sparingly since both our booths at the market get quite busy. 
 _self_say Well thats quite good news. I myself grow onions and am happy to hear that the market is so busy. What do you sell there? 
 _partner_say Ahh, that's great news. It may be worthwhile to query if the farmer has any land for you to cultivate for your onions! My friends and are travel to far off lands to collect the finest spices. Our specialty is turmeric from a quaint village in Nepal. 
 _self_say Fine indeed. I can't thank you enough for the information on Bertrand. Is there anything we can do to repay you?
