Cronous

 

The people in CRONOUS were truly kind. When I explained the intent of the book I was writing and asked them to write briefly about their story, they readily complied with the request and gave me a quick reply. Based on what I received from them and the information my friend Altor gave me, I have written out a brief introduction of important persons and merchants in and around the castle.

[Magic Equipment Shop] - Rolling 
Rloling is known to have dropped out of Kanon Magic School at the intermediate course, due to his personal circumstances. During his five-year trip to the continent, he had gathered many mysterious articles and returned to CRONOUS. Since then, he often went traveling to some places and returned home, bringing with him lots of magic articles. He has a passion for magic and people believe he has the ability to make magic articles. Since he is a man of profound knowledge not only about magic but also about lots of other affairs, he gives much wise information and advice to other merchants and residents of the castle. To the people in the castle, Rolling is no less than a sage. 

[CRONOUS] - Kayla 
Kayla is a tough, heroine type of woman who appraises various minerals or treasures that are found in CRONOUS. She is in the habit of saying that travelers are usually tough and her having to deal with them naturally has formed the present character in her. Since her ability is positively the best in CRONOUS, travelers even from distant places come a long way to ask her. 

[Articles Depository] - Eaten 
To name the person who receives the most visits by travelers in CRONOUS, Eaten must be the one. Upon the foundation of reliability and faithfulness he has laid through his lifetime, he runs a depository. Like all the depositories that belong to Guild, Eaten’s depository is famous for its security.Since the invasions by Sidus have become frequent, he has increased the size of his depository to a big scale and lowered the rental fee, thus helping the travelers. Such an action has raised his reputation higher. 

[Weapon Shop] - Fredrick 
Fredrick is an excellent craftsman who is included among the best five in the CRONOUS Continent. He makes and sells superb weapons and armor to the fighters who come to CRONOUS. He has such deep affection for the weapons he himself has made that he does not show or sell his high-quality weapon to the person who he does not think deserves it, and shows only to someone who deserves it. He can fix worn-down weapons and defense equipment in a brief moment and, to give help to travelers, has recently lowered the price of weapon repair and sales prices.

[Vicinity of Shrine] - Maell 
Mael is one of the sages who belong to the Oracle in CRONOUS. He has such deep affection for CRONOUS residents that he always stays close to them to listen attentively to their difficulties and keep them in his mind. To all the people in the village, regardless of children, adults and merchants, Mael is like a dear head of a family. He also has the role of transmitting adventurers to the place they want to go, using the Waypoint established by the magicians of Oracle. I was told that he sometimes finds travelers who are skilled in combat and entrusts them with some mission. 

[The Stone of Question] - Harris 
Harris is a scholar who works for the Oracle. They say that he, who always says there is a principle for all the matters in the world and smiles gently, usually reads books in his study all day long. He has this habit of taking a walk around the village when he has something to agonize over. That explains why he sometimes fails to notice people speaking to him and passes them by. 

[Master of Masters] - General E-noo 
The General Ei-Noo was the first Master and taught other great warriors how to become Masters. For those great warriors who will become Masters, it is important that they review the following details on becoming a Master.

[CRONOUS] - Veniarkan 
Veniarkan, who is a regular graduate of Kanon Magic School, is one of the best-known magicians. Since his competence is also recognized in the Oracle, his reputation is spread all over CRONOUS. Though young fighters who want to become his pupils are always around him, I have not heard that he has formally taken anyone as his pupil yet. Most of those fighters who come to Veniarkan have either failed in developing ability that suits them or have kept failing in improving their skill. They have all gathered to receive his blessed teaching and right training. However, since this entails quite a big price to pay, sincere and careful consideration before making a decision is advised. 

[Restaurant] - Syheril 
 All the travelers passing through CRONOUS think it is a natural thing to do to stop in her restaurant, because the restaurant is well known for tasty food, and she conveys useful information she received from travelers to other travelers. It is said that an uncountable number of travelers could avoid danger thanks to the information she had provided. These days the travelers who seek to find out about Sidus’s plot have gathered to share information in her restaurant. 

[Street Vendor outside Castle] - Leman 
In the neighborhood of the remains of Retisha, a disappeared city, one can find him with his small cart and a bundle of articles. Not much is known about him. He believes his ancestors lived in the city of Retisha and spends most of his time on unearthing the place. I deem the reason he is engaged in peddling on the street is to raise funds for this, his main objective. Besides, from the fact he can protect himself out there, I assume he has a good level of competence in martial art.
