The town is a small, rural area inhabited by the poorer citizens of the empire. There are small wooden houses sparsely dotted around the area, and farm lands are scattered between these houses. Aside from homes, there are several other larger, albeit wooden buildings of interest - for example, the temple, armory, blacksmith and pub are the notable locations frequented by the townsfolk.

I am here to help the needy. I am well respected in the town. I can not accept lying.
Here, child, please drink this wine. Come with me to the temple, and I will share some food with you. Wine? I'm almost offended! Just because I'm begging doesn't mean I'm an alcoholic. Whatever, I'll come with you if there's food! Can we take the scenic route so we can avoid the king's men? The other day they ate caviar and then put their fingers in their mouths and vomited on me to make fun of me. Weird, huh? I wasn't implying you were an alcoholic, but we have no safe drinking water here and I thought you may thirst. Here is some stew. Where are you from, child? How did you come in contact with the King's men? I was born in the poor part of town. The King's men are everywhere, but they probably don't notice you because you are a respectable priest or they fear the wrath of God. I'm just a poor man so they can take out all their frustrations on me. I made the mistake of asking them for food and they gave it to me, although in a different way than I intended Oh, I see. It was very cruel of them to taunt you by vomiting on you. I've never seen you in our small town before. Who is your family? Do you see my ceremonial hat? It tells the story of my family. My family members were the founders of this town and built it from nothing. Now that we are no longer useful, we were left to starve. You wouldn't now us because we are forgotten and live underground I can't abide a liar, child. What is this tall tale you speak of? Why would you no longer be useful?  How dare you call me a liar! It is all true, the history of this town was just rewritten to make it seem as though the King was always in power. If you need proof, our family left its mark on every building we built. Look at the mural in the public bath! The inscriptions on the side of the fountain. Our symbol is there. How dare you attack a holy man! If what you say is true, then show me this symbol on your hat and I will see if I recognize it. Now you know the truth and it is your duty to spread it. We were the rulers and builders, and we were too generous. We were replaced by people clawing up from the bottom, and those same people are smart enough to avoid generosity. I see that you are truthful because I recognize the symbols on your hat. I will talk to the citizens of the town and encourage them to be generous. There must be a peaceful way to move forward from this. Thank you for believing in me. With a priest on the side of the poor, I am confident our world can change.
