Fergus: That's a long story. There was a time when Vandura used to be free and Liberty Bay didn't even exist. I fought in the war for Vandura, but we had no chance against the united power of Thais and Venore.

Player: Liberty Bay

Fergus: Such irony to have a city called Liberty Bay built on the ruins of a free town.

Player: free town

Fergus: You mean Summerhaven? That was our town originally located where Liberty Bay is now.

Player: Summerhaven

Fergus: Ahh... I miss it.

Player: Liberty Bay

Red Lilly: Liberty comes, liberty goes, only the bay stays. Hehe.

Player: Thais

Red Lilly: Thais might be a splendid town, but this is of no use to us here. Thesituation in our town gets worse with every ship full of foreigners that arrives here.

Player: Venore

Red Lilly: I heard Venore will soon acquire several trade monopolies that will grantthem wealth for centuries.

Player: Liberty Bay

Cedrik: It's a fine town. Could be better if we'd be left on our own though.

Player: Thais

Cedrik: Thais is a faraway city with strange people. I only wish they'd stay there.

Player: Venore

Cedrik: Bah, Venore. Calling it a snakes' nest would be an insultof course, but for the snakes.

Player: Liberty Bay

Peggy: The name of the town has become a joke. I do not even have the liberty tobuy and use the wood I want.

Player: Thais

Peggy: Thais is a sleeping lion. But nowadays, the snakes already rule the kingdom.

Player: Venore

Peggy: Venore is the best example to demonstrate what can go wrong with humansociety. Greed and jealousy reign over that town and only wealth and influence are ofimportance.

Player: kingdom

Peggy: The king's iron grip can be felt everywhere here. And the Venoreans are hisright hand.

Player: Liberty Bay

Charlotta: The name has become a cruel joke of fate. Once it stood for freedomuntil selfish fightings led all dreams burst. But in the end, you can't truly kill a dream.

Player: Thais

Charlotta: Thais and the Thaians should mind their own business.

Player: Venore

Charlotta: The Venorean traders are the source of the evilhere. It was them who convinced the king in Thais to intervene and to 'rescue' us bysending an occupational force.

Player: Liberty Bay

Lyonel: We have seen good times and bad times here. Everybody can decide himselfin what kind of times we are living today.

Player: Thais

Lyonel: I was never there but I heard that it is big and crowded. To own a tavernthere must be like owning a goldmine.

Player: Venore

Lyonel: For all I have heard you are of little importance in Venore when you runout of money.

Player: Liberty Bay

Bradford: It's such a lovely city. Of course, everybody likes his home best, but it ishard to believe any other city could have that much charm.

Player: Thais

Bradford: Thais is the centre of a huge kingdom. As such it must be marvellous andfilled with wonders and people from all over the world.

Player: Venore

Bradford: I heard Venore was built completely in a swamp. It must be a great sightindeed to see that strange city with your own eyes.

Player: Liberty Bay

Marcus: If people would mind their own business, the city could be a better place.

Player: Thais

Marcus: Go away with that Thais. I've been there and I've seen it. Not impressiveat all.

Player: Venore

Marcus: They build fine ships in this town. That's the best I can say about it. If youdo not have enough money, you are nothing in Venore.

Player: Liberty Bay

Herbert: This dreary place, though paradise to some, is hell and exile to me! Mytalent is shipwrecked on these sunny shores, my art a prisoner of the oafish horde. ...

Herbert: Oh Carlin! Carlin! Queen of the arts and sister of the muse! Only in yourkind bosom would I be safe from ignorance and from abuse!

Player: Thais

Herbert: I mourn you, Thais, for you are no longer the shiny diamond that inspireda sense of purpose and pride in us all. ...

Herbert: Rather than building a temple for the muses your people chose to build anarena, where blood is shed and animals are slaughtered for sport. Oh Thais, how deephave you fallen!

Player: Venore

Herbert: How could I hate you, Venore, the place where I grew up and so did myfather before. But I shall ne'er go back to you, for your people are smug and theirminds are small. ...

Herbert: One day they will weep for their prodigal son, but then I won't mind for Iwill be gone.

Player: Liberty Bay

Jefrey: This town has prospered so much since our arrival. If it were up to thelocals, there were nothing here except ramshackle huts like the ones you can find nearthe harbour and the fields.

Player: Thais

Jefrey: Thais might have its charm but nowadays, it is overrun buy wannabeheroes. I prefer the exclusiveness of Venore.

Player: Venore

Jefrey: Venore has become the centre of trade and culture. There is no city thatcould be compared to Venore.

Player: culture

Jefrey: The admiral says it is only superstitious wish-wash but maybe this is justanother excuse for not doing investigations.

Player: Liberty Bay

Frederik: It is not quite the backwater town I had expected when I had to followmy mistress here, but it's worse enough with all those ignorant natives and quara andpirates and god knows what else.

Player: Thais

Frederik: Even dirty, old Thais would be better than this place. But who asks anassistant after all? Yeah, right, no one does. And so I am here

Player: Venore

Frederik: If you'd ask me, those Venoreans have their fingers quite deep in thehoney pot, if you know what I mean. Our whole presence here serves Venore and ourprofits more than anything else.

Player: Thais

Malunga: Well, Thais is not the city it used to be. Too many people, too noisy, toodirty.

Player: Venore

Malunga: Those haggling and scheming merchants sometimes give me more shiversthan a demon. At least you know what to expect from a demon.

Player: Liberty Bay

Berenice: For an outpost it is quite well organised and comfortable. Uhm ... not thata true explorer would give much about comfort.

Player: Thais

Berenice: Thais is a great city, but not such a centre of learning and knowledge likeEdron.

Player: Venore

Berenice: Venore is a centre of commerce. It has only little to offer to our effortsto explore and to gain further knowledge ...

Player: Liberty Bay

Chantalle: What a horrible, horrible little town. Have you seen those huts somepeople live in? How can they stand this? Silly people. And that stench! Everything andeveryone that is native smells like fish! Horrible, I say it's just horrible!

Player: Thais

Chantalle: Thais must be a wonderful place. Almost comparable to Venore as far as Ican tell.

Player: Venore

Chantalle: Venore is such a wonderful place. Mr. Loveless had to leave it to comehere to Liberty Bay for business matters and to become Venore's representative here.

Player: Liberty Bay

Theodore Loveless: We put great hope in this settlement. The Venorean tradersinvested much money in the growth of that community here ...

Theodore Loveless: We have to see that the little profit we make will be enough tocover our expenses in the remote future ...

Theodore Loveless: But we are happy that our money could help to bring peace andto civilise the natives here ...

Theodore Loveless: Thais finally brought order to the locals that were torn fromfightings and hunger before our arrival.

Player: Thais

Theodore Loveless: Thais is such a lovely city. The bustling centre of civilisation.The world has to thank Thais for so many things.

Player: Venore

Theodore Loveless: Venore has become an impressive little point of trade forWares from all over the world. The steady work pays off and brings us a modest stateof luxury ...

Theodore Loveless: We have learnt much from our big brother Thais which weadmire and where we are still searching for guidance.
