Time for lore, just to move this story forward eh? As a scholar, Corvin's main interest in life is currently to understand and learn as much as he can about this world. So, what better way to move the story forward than some, let's say, unfortunate circumstances.

Corvin: "Hey, Trear. Just logging our use of resources. You guys have permission to go for missionaries, right?"
Trear: "Hmm. Keep a light on, kid. Tytyar said she had a bad feeling, and so do I."
Corvin: "Any idea what it could be?"
Trear: "I just know something dangerous could be close by, and that's been enough for most of my life."
Corvin: "Right. Anyway, good night then. I think I'll stay up a bit late tonight."
