So assuming shopping's done, we flash forward to the work office, Rhya opens up his book and looks through for a bit before putting it down again, "I'm sorry but unless you can kill the black dragon of the swamp there's no jobs for non-legion members. Is there anything else I can help you with?"

"It's a fully grown adult black dragon, they're cruel and extremely ill tempered but this one is far beyond your capability," Rhya stated dead serious, "It has taken up residence in the swamp. We're working on determining it's lair but it's extremely dangerous,"

"Anyone else you know of who is looking to get some tasks completed?" Gotch says with a glance to his companions. "We seem to be stuck in this place for a while, or until we find a way out of here, though I hear that is something many seek and never have found."
Rhya looks at you a bit confused, "Are you asking me about jobs in the valley as a whole? If so, I can not speak for other cities not under the Legion. If you enter a Legion affiliated city, you can find jobs and tasks for coin at the Legion HQ for that city. Civilians of Legion cities, provided they pay their taxes, can request jobs from the Legion and those jobs we are unable to preform will be posted for adventurers such as yourselves. The Legion be one paying you for such jobs," He takes a moment looking at confused looks and sighs.
"I guess you're the newcomers to valley. The Valley is loosely controlled by factions. Toward the water, you have the Amanda of Umberlee and Broken Sisterhood fighting for claim of the water. On Land, the Legion is middle of the Knights and Red Empire. Toward the mountain, it's less orderly with giants tribes at war with each other and anyone who enters their lands. There are a handful of neutral locations, which due to circumstances, are protected by all factions from each other,"
"Then you have the insane who live on the edges and dark corners. The ones trying to try any forbidden art, magic or what have you to escape more often than not, they're just dangerous to themselves and others,"

After be recounted the story of Mai's odd behaviour of seeing things and following disappearance, Rhya's face very serious.
"They call it being Spirited Away. Gods from youe planes tend to be limited in their ability interact within the valley but 'deads' gods have managed to come to the valley like you. They are much more active than normal gods, often taking or spiriting people that catch their attention. Considering you say she saw a white rabbit, she got attention of Pippina goddess of discord and chaos,"

"We call them gods but they lack same power as Pelor, Outside the valley, they are regarded as dead gods due to lack of worship. Within the valley, they're more akin to Archfeys, they have more power than us mortals but they are very limited on what they can do. They tend to spirit away possible worshipers to gain power," He looks through the pile of books next to him before pulling one out and reading, "We have identified three such gods, Pippina goddess of discord and chaos, The Platinum Artist, god of the invention and Askashic, god of knowledge,"

Lyrant looks out the nearest window/door at the sky.“Mister Rhya, where, to your knowledge, is the nearest place to pray? The presence of my goddess is not very strong here, but perhaps, through prayer, I could get some answers for myself, as well as my new companions here. I need only a place of quiet under the night sky.”
"Selune right? There is a general temple in the city with shrines to various good and neutral aligned gods. I believe I have it somewhere...," He look through his books until he pulls one out that reads "Cities and their Temples", "These are Legion affiliated cities that have a dedicated shrine to Selune. Maybe you can find a compass to there cities with the Traders," He places the handwritten book on the table and turns so Lyrant can read it. Several cities names are glowing with list of gods temples next to them.

Highlighted Cities, Eastcliff, Harmstead, Domburton and Caelfall.
"Many cities will have general shrines to gods but these four are ones with dedicated temples to Selune," Upon seeing Gotch go through associated compasses Rhya speaks up, "Blanc was abandoned by the residents after repeated Scales incursions sadly. We took in a few refugees from the town,"

"Let's head there." Gotch agrees. On the way he moves back through the trade area, looking to find one of those selling compasses. He is just looking to get pricing of how much one goes for, since he does not have the coin to purchase one now, or he at least doubts if he does.
