****************************************************

Caemlyn Central Square
You are in a large stone square, right in the middle of Caemlyn's outer
city. You see a wide boulevard to the north, and the path to the inner
city. There are a number of shops around you. The density of the population
is really quite incredible. It's almost impossible to relax as you are
being constantly bumped and jostled. From here you can really get a good
view of the outer city, and this just makes you appreciate the older inner
city all the more. A large banner hangs nearby, depicting a map of
Caemlyn's outer city.
[ obvious exits: N E S W ]
Zone: Outer Caemlyn
A fountain is here, offering clear blue water to all.
A marble bench, flecked with gold and bronze, adorns the floor.
A stout wooden barrel stands nearby.
An oil lamp, set in a steel cage, hangs from a high wooden pole.
Theresa Aidillinen, Caretake of Maerone is standing here.
A small dog is here, barking furiously.
A warhorse is here, stamping his feet impatiently, being ridden by you.
The Caemlyn town crier stands here, spreading the news.
A stout looking guard is here, walking the streets of Caemlyn.
A gleeman is here, playing a lute.
A stout looking guard is here, walking the streets of Caemlyn.
A recruitment officer stands here, speaking of the Queen's Guard.

The snow is coming down more heavily now.

Theresa says 'Good day there.'

Frederica bows her head in respect to the wisdom. "Light favor you healer."

Theresa nods her head at you, smiling slightly.

Theresa says 'Are you Frederica?'

Frederica continues rolling a bandage keeping it tight enough not to allow moisture. "I am indeed, the one and only. I came down from Fal Dara for supplies, the war rages in the blight."

Theresa frowns a bit, 'That it does, dear.'

Theresa looks at the bandage curiously.

Theresa says 'What did you do to yourself?'

Frederica reaches the end of the bandage and pulls a pin from her hair securing the role and putting it on a small pile." A little of what you do, I try and aid were I can curing the sick and bandaging fools that try and over take the blight."

Frederica chuckles politely.

Frederica says 'I try and bring a good name back to my people.'

Theresa says 'Is there not a good name?'

Frederica touches her Ki'sain for a moment. "We have been removed from the workings of the world for to long."

Theresa's mouth scrunches up, "I am unfamiliar with that saying. Can you tell me more?"'

Theresa says 'Have to forgive me, before I was Wisdom and I had been stuck in Amadicia my whole life and still travel north rarely.'

Frederica says 'My people, well my adoptive family is from Malkier, they moved south after the fall and setup a small community in Fal Dara, however they seldom leave that community. In most of the world it is as if they think we disappeared.'

Theresa's eyebrows raise and a curious look crosses her face.

Theresa says 'Well, that is quite interesting.'

Theresa looks over the bandage.

Theresa says 'What did you do to yourself to require a bandage?'

Frederica says 'I do not, but sadly young men training in weapons are common up north, some are simple minded enough to practice with real ones. Cuts and abrasions are also as common.'

Theresa says 'Do you practice too? Or were you collateral damage?'

Frederica says 'I do not require one, I just like to stay prepared for when one is needed. I do not seek violence, I just find what's left from it.'

Frederica smiles warmly her blue eyes gleaming.

Theresa says 'Ah, I see, forgive me I thought you had placed one on yourself.'

Theresa says 'These allergies have my eyes so watery and puffy and I cannot see as well.'

Frederica pats the small pile of bandages and places them into her pack before pulling out a silver vial with a cork. Pulling the cork off she hands it to the wisdom. "One good sniff in each nostril will help with that. Evergreen tends to clear the head."

The snow stops.

Theresa takes the vial and sniffs deeply, 'That it does. Now that is the good stuff. Thank you."

Theresa sneezes shooting projectiles out of her nose.

Frederica chuckles and hands the stopper to Theresa.

Theresa says 'Excuse me! '

Frederica says 'I have more were that came from. Even we need a little help some times.'

Frederica chuckles politely.

Theresa says 'Usually after a few hours out from the woods it will settle down.'

Frederica says 'One day I hope to join the wisdoms circle, even if it is as a student. I know a lot about battle field medicine but I cannot out do the wisdom in Fal dara during out breaks of sickness.'

Theresa smiles slightly, "That old lady had many years on you and I both.'

Theresa says 'I would be more of a help with that but being so new to the Wisdoms myself, I can only interact.'

Theresa says 'Seems many of the old ladies are taking longer naps than usual.'

Frederica raises her hand and laughs behind it. "Your words not mine. I look forward to meeting and perhaps learning from them. I have seen Wisdom Zira about but not yet had the chance to meet her."

Theresa says 'I have not seen any myself.'

Frederica says 'Maybe they are resting for when harder times come?'

Theresa says 'Frederica it was good to meet you, but I must get some final things done before I must nap myself."'

Theresa says 'They are just old...old and wrinkled.'

Frederica nods in agreement.

Theresa says 'But keep that between us.'

Frederica says 'Light Favor you Wisdom!'

Theresa hugs Frederica.

Frederica hugs Theresa.

Theresa says 'We will meet again, keep helping where you can. It will get noticed.'

Theresa waves.
