[QUOTE="Urko, post: 2185211, member: 30822"] [b]A job offer is made[/b] Calabas sits down and begins rummaging through the satchel, producing a sheaf of papers. He places the top sheet on the table in front of you. It is a map of the Whitecliff River, with the cities of Newthrone and Whitecliff clearly marked at either end. Between them are two marks on the eastern bank; one in red at the river’s edge, the other in black further inland. Calabas indicates the red mark. [color=red]”This is the location of my employer’s plantation. His name is Kolbek Novilderth and he controls the largest holding of land in private hands in Q’Barra.
