'Yours is a fresh face, and a welcome one. I will share with you some information about our fort and then, if you are willing, perhaps you will help with some of the issues faced by our workers?

'We are free, this is true. No whips lash our backs now, but our workers remain weary and hungry. Injuries, or worse, are frequent. These are only setbacks, of course, for ours is a land born anew.

'I coordinate the fort's efforts for the overseer. The other foremen here each have quotas that must be met... and they are falling behind. Meet first with them. Their names are Tankho, Beliash, Kharishah, Hûzo, and Taphis. After you have spoken with them, you should meet with the overseer about our schedule.'

You addressed the concerns of the foremen in the fort and should return to Nûrut where you found him in Rakhatâb.
