[QUOTE="Antithetist, post: 5225585, member: 88443"] Farrow regards Mythra blankly at first, and then with a condescending half-smile that grows wider as his tirade goes on. He leans back in his chair with a casual air. [B][COLOR=DarkSlateBlue]"Pardon me, master summoner, but I believe my advertisements made it rather clear that I was seeking field research assistants.

Professor Howard's work largely concerned the Dhakaani Empire, and I believe that his research has led to the recovery of a number of rather powerful artifacts in the past.
