You are the talk of the town wherever you go. Minstrels sing praise of you, children pretend to be you, and some seek to be like you. Though you are adored by many, defeating your enemies tends to upset their allies. People that would normally be indifferent to you may offer to buy you a drink, but there is always a chance that that drink is poison.
