The Ageless

A small group of travelling wanderers seem to not age.

Nick Haggard met the group as a child, and they're all the same age as they were back then.

Charlie Wretch thinks everyone should just leave the old guy alone.

Max Nighy warns you that Amelia Ferrier, the quest giver, is strange and potentially dangerous.

Reflections

The figure in the mirror gestures to you, begging for release.

A traveling salesman claims he can get anything for anyone. For a price. He's set up shop just outside of town.

Lisa Ashfield is wondering if the salesman can get his hands on a magical necklace.

Bundringo Pierce is friends with the scholar, but Elise Loch thinks they might have something to do with the scholar's disappearance.
