You don't know what it's like, Ivan. I'm completely alone now. That episode with the Monster Raven a while ago was too much for the Book Men, so they left town and took their families with them. They said they had had enough. Little by little people have vanished from my side. My wife being the very first. Even my own sons turned down their heritage and ran away. Kids these days are just too spoiled. They don't understand what our duty is and what our ancestors did in order to keep peace.

Ivan, I'm old and useless. You must take charge and protect this town from tale-spinners and their bad influence. They must be controlled!
