==The Next Morning: Diomarche's Quest==

We are shown to a table set for eight.  Hmm, that’s suspicious.  The eighth setting is appropriate for a centaur (as is Diomarche’s).  Diomarche recognizes her as Ekarna, from his Herd.  She is not high status; her job is a… crafter, more or less.  This is far away from her usual area, so that’s unusual.

Diomarche goes to talk to her as she is inquiring about getting a room.  She seems happy to see him.  He tells her a bit about Middlesea, and that he and his companions are spreading the word; she assumes that we must be paladins, which Scout thinks is hilarious.  Diomarche introduces her to Stella as a Priest of the Goddess, at which she becomes more polite.

She’s in town to sell some of her leatherwork, because the crops haven’t been doing well. (His mom is still back at the herd, so Diomarche should go see her).  The Maharani hasn't been helping because of the drought.

Stella thinks she’s putting a better face on things than is warranted.
