What an outrage! The guards should find and punish the perpetrators at once! Diradeni Raran Disposition ≥ 30
Err... no, you're mistaken, outlander. Those little imperfections here and there are intentional. They represent the everyday struggle of the Raran family to achieve greatness despite the flaws that every mer is born with. That's it. Yes. Diradeni Raran Disposition ≥ 30
What? I can't believe that you would tell such a brazen lie, outlander! Be serious -- do you think that some hack living in dirt could make such a masterpiece? Please. Nobody would believe it. Do you see the magnificent use of colors? The precision of every brush stroke? No, those can only be the marks of a true artist like sera Gymont! Diradeni Raran Disposition ≥ 30
Ah, I'm so glad you've noticed, outlander. Yes, that's a painting we commissioned from the famous artist from Wayrest, Neel Gymont. I'm sure you've heard of him. Truly, he's a generational talent. The painting depicts one of the tradeships of our family, fearlessly cruising down the Thirr River, and symbolizes our fortitude and zeal. Diradeni Raran Disposition ≥ 30
A tragedy indeed. My dear wife has been inconsolable since the painting was stolen. Dalvus Raran Disposition ≥ 30
I truly appreciate your help, %PCName. I won't be selling the painting again. I've learned from my mistake. A memento of my father is worth more than all the drakes in the Hlaalu vaults. Tilore Edralo Disposition ≥ 30
Let me see. Yes, that's my painting, indeed. I must thank you, %PCName. It truly fills my heart with joy to have the painting back, and the Raran fools are none the wiser. Thank you for your kindness -- I'll never forget it. I don't have much to give you in return, but I hope that at least this little trinket can be of use to you. Tilore Edralo Disposition ≥ 30
I see. I won't ask you to hurry, but every moment that the painting is in the hands of those liars pains me greatly. Tilore Edralo Disposition ≥ 30
Let me see. Yes, that's my painting, indeed. I must thank you, %PCClass, yet I can't help but fear that the Raran thugs will come knocking on my door sooner or later. But I suppose I'll worry about that when the time comes. Thank you for your kindness. Please accept this scroll that I've found on my travels. I hope it can be of use. Tilore Edralo Disposition ≥ 30
Yes, let's not dwell on this tragedy any longer. Do you need anything else? Tilore Edralo Disposition ≥ 30
You would? Oh, %PCClass, you don't know how happy that would make me! Now, I must confess one thing -- in my darkest hour, I developed a plan to reclaim it discreetly, but I lacked the courage to carry it out. Take this. It's a cheap forgery of the painting that will deteriorate slowly over time, yet it should be enough to fool those s'wits into believing nothing is amiss. Replace the painting with this fake and bring the original back to me. You'll find the Raran Manor in the Old Quarter of Narsis. Tilore Edralo Disposition ≥ 30
