Private audience with each Clan Leader
My plans for an exclusive trade route with the north failed, therefore I shall investigate other options to solidify my investment and venture, speaking with the Seal Clan with a watchful eye.

Item
Crow Necklace
A necklace decorated with various bones from recognizable animals along with what appears to be a knuckle bone or two from humans. The odd thing is that three of the bones are completely unrecognizable, but are smooth and worn, indicating they were handled more than the others. Did this alter their appearance or is their origin from beyond the rift?

Redhand, leader of the Hundred Knives thieves’ guild, is an old friend and someone to whom I owe a life debt...
Beliefs on Reserve
The Hillsmount guards have a price to pay for holding and interrogating me; I will gain intelligence on something I can leverage against them publicly.
Gaining legitimate nobility requires exploiting all opportunities, whether within the Deepwater Clan, or through another of the five main clans.
Instincts on Reserve
Noblemen abusing their station infuriates me and I won't sit idly by while they take advantage of those with lesser means.
New opportunities are of interest, and I always make time for commerce regardless of someone's reputation or standing.
In dire situations, survival is my first priority and I always act to protect myself and that which is mine.
I have built my business and reputation over a lifetime of hard work and I will protect it fiercely and decisively.
