[QUOTE="Ancalagon, post: 7173931, member: 23"] "[B]So this man claimed to be here for the tithe and started collecting money from the other caravan members. He looked a bit rough and I was going to intervene, thinking it was a protection racket, but luckily Akbar stopped me and explained - it's a tradition of collecting tithes along a pilgrimage road for maintenance and such. Some of the routes... if it wasn't for trade, the support along the way would collapse, but if it wasn't for pilgrims, the trade route wouldn't be viable either. The serrafs are the collectors - they have to be tough because it's a hard life, but also have keen judgement to see who can pay, and how much. This dagger was probably a badge of office - or even his last name. Orphans who grow into the role can claim it as a family name"[/B]. Lal looks intently at Akilah and Salahudin "[B]This was most probably an honorable man... so can it be done? Can the cloth be used for divination magic to trace the owner?[/B]" [/QUOTE]
