The Black Cloud Merchants may be the finest Shugo guild in all Atreia, but we still can't make a decent Cube. Nyerk nyerk....

Last prototype I got didn't last five minutes! Maybe my fault though...crammed it full of deep-fried Balic ice cream until the hinges didn't work!






I can blame whatever I want for whatever I want to! This is Sanctum, city of freedom, yes yes!

We hired a craftsman to try and make a better Cube, but has been months since we heard anything. Not a peep, not a squeak.

Need to find him and make sure he's not spending all our Kinah on cheap Shugo floozies and even cheaper drinks. Daeva will help, yes?




If Sidrunerk has already arrived, Quartermaster Haimon should know.

Haimon always keeps an eye on who comes and goes from the village.

Daeva should ask him if he’s seen Sidrunerk, akakak.

But what will Shugo do if Haimon hasn’t seen him either...?
What do you want?

Speak quickly--I'm busy. It takes a lot of time to check over all these manifests.




Sidrunerk? No, he hasn't come through here.

Somebody else was asking after him too, little Shugo name of Heerunerk. He's in the Halls of Prosperity--why don't you talk to him?






Here to expand Cube, Daeva? You may have to wait. Master Sidrunerk is missing....






I worry it is Shulacks that take him! He is likely prisoner on Steel Rake already, wasting away to fur and bones, nyerk!

He must be rescued, yes yes!






Strange to see Daeva here.

Are you here working with Shulacks? Have you escaped?


Good! Good! High time Traders send someone to free me. I expect better treatment than this from Black Cloud, yes!

I need escort to exit. I make Cubes, not fight.






Really? Fantastic! Maybe Black Cloud not so bad after all. Here, take token of appreciation.

Come back any time to expand cube!
