Opening (Viamontians) Fabian Strinjelli tells you, "It is wonderful to see new Viamontian arrivals on Dereth! Be glad you did not arrive here when we did. The war with the Duke was bad enough, but the siege of the Olthoi nearly destroyed us all. May King Varicci be forever blessed by the glory of Karlun!" Opening (non-Viamontians) Fabian Strinjelli tells you, "You Bloodless swear loyalty to that fool Asheron. But where was he when the Olthoi laid siege to our city? He helped us not, just as he has abandoned you now." Quest dialog
