A Merchant will approach the player after defeating their first enemy when first arriving in Calradia. The player can then assist the merchant in a series of four optional quests involving the merchant's brother and an investigation into the town's corruption. Although these quests can be ignored, they can help new players gain a feeling for the game and will provide a small boost to the starting funds. After rescuing the merchant's brother from a bandit lair, he will reveal that the captain of the town's watch is letting looters and other bandits into the town.
