[ now there's a new face on the network. if you've had to do with smiths lately you may have run into Thorin before, but that's about it. he's got a gruff look about him, somewhat unimpressed. ]

Since one of the librarians has taken it upon himself to ban me from the relevant sections of the library, [ that may have been a wry smile there but it's gone very quickly, ] I was wondering if one of you could tell me something about the history of Union. The story of the Saviour aside.

[ was there anything else- right. yes. perhaps he should give his reasons. and his name. ]

My name is Thorin. I came here from Caldera a few months ago, but have not had the chance to ... immerse myself in the culture.

[ not that he's all sure he wants to. something off to the side catches his eye, and he closes the feed with a nod. ]

Mm. That's because a lot of the holiday centers around the Ninetales Vale. The lines between worlds are very thin there and a lot of the residents are very spiritual. To them, death is simply a continuation of life, and worthy of being celebrated.

[darer]

Is that a common belief in Union?

[underwearfortomorrow]

Hmm, I don't think I would say that. I think the view of death in this city will wildly vary by person, but with the Vale specifically, it's very much like I described.

If you're not familiar with the Ninetales Vale, it's a district where a lot of ghost, dark, and psychic types make their homes.

[darer]

I've been there a few times, but no more than that. Those types aren't too common in Caldera, which might explain why there's no such place there.

[ and if there were, they'd have had a great deal of celebrating to do in recent years. ]

What is it you do for Salvation?
