Quest Offering "One of the most useful forms of currency on Telon," Haruji says, "is something most people pay little attention to. Information ." "A diplomat, during the course of civic diplomacy, will collect different types of information. Knowing how to trade this information for useful items will be one of the most important things you learn from me. Take this information and give it to Kwo Halfmoon." [You will recieve Information as rewards for Civic Diplomacy. You can turn Information into Informants for rewards.] Kwo Halfmoon "I greet you, (your name) , as a representative of the Lamplighters," Kwo says. "What can I do for you?" "Haruji sent me to you," you say, "to learn about Information." "Ah yes, the stock-in-trade of the Lamplighters organization," he says. "Often, while doing Civic Diplomacy, you will receive bits of Information. This can come in four different types." "I see there you have some information about Trends. That is one of the types. The other types are Blackmail, Plots, and Arcana. Each Informant deals in only one type, however, I am a little different as I will take any Information you have." "Where does this information come from?" you ask. "You can earn it by doing Convince, Incite, Interview, and Gossip parleys," he says. "They are little scraps that you overhear or learn from NPCs which are valuable to my organization." "Entertain parleys do not give away Information?" you ask. "No," Kwo says. "The subject of many Entertains is usually a story or joke well-known across all of Telon, not something we have much use for. You can, however, earn items which vendors will pay you cash for." "What is this Information useful for?" you ask. "Each type can earn you different rewards," he says. "If you have enough of a type to trade in an Informant will usually grant you a piece of clothing, though sometimes you may receive Prestigious Baubles instead." "And this clothing has different Presence values on it," you say. "Exactly," Kwo Halfmoon says. "You can earn better clothing than what you have so that you may move up in society and stretch your Diplomatic abilities more." "However, you have only 3 crude hearsay of Trends. That isn't enough, normally, but I ow Haruji a favor. Take them back to him and tell him to give you some coin in exchange. In the future you will need seven Hearsay, five Rumors, or three Evidence for a trade." "Thank you for your generosity," you say. Quest Completion "You've returned," Haruji says, "and much wiser for the trip, I'd wager." "This is all I have to teach you," Haruji nods. "Civic Diplomacy is an important part of your advancement in the world, as a good diplomat is always aware of the common people on a personal level."
