Dirty and dismal. This wasteland sprawls behind the Servant Quarters. It is where all the filth from kingdom is dumped.
Behind the Servant Quarters, Wasteland
homeless person
master wizard
As Archmage, I am the only power that matters. I am kill with a word. I can call legions of the undead.
Who says I have to help you homeless man? I am the greatest wizard, my power is great. I can call legions of the undead and kill you with one word. Tell me, why should I help you? Precisely because of your great power! How easy it would be for you to change my life, mister wizard! But dont you see, I am not a wizard that has friends nor am I a wizard that is kind. I dwell here in the dant parts of the kingdom because I choose too. What is it that you could offer me to stop me from killing you on the spot? Perhaps friendship. Is it not possible that learning kindness might increase your power? Hmm, you may have a point homeless person. So be it, here, take my clothes, you look cold Ooh la la, look at these robes. I think they look quite good on me. Thanks! Don't get to smug about them, I have yet to see if this friendship thing would work. If it does not then I am inclined to kill you for my trouble. How did you come to be here? Mother was a prostitute, never knew my pops. She died of consumption a few years back. Now I'm all alone. I sense a spell has been cursed you. I shall remove this for you and pray your luck should change. What is it you wish to gain from a wizard friendship homeless person, other than a a change of fortune? If it were possible, I suppose an apprenticeship. I've often pondered the potential depths of such power... That is not something i've considered before, i've always been by myself. I would be nice to have another wizard around here. Someone to pass on my great knowlage after I pass from this world. Yes, I agree to this, as long as it all goes well. You can say here in the servant quarters although it isn't the nicest of places but I suspect you've seen worse Master Wizard, you old softie. Thank you so much. I respect your right to kill me at anytime if it pleases you.
