Bernice laughs at that. "I never left Altdorf until two months ago. Our shop started to fall apart a few years back. After mother died... well, father's heart wasn't really in the business anymore. I was still too young, and... well, we decided to make a clean break of it. Go far away, start anew, away from creditors and taxmen and gangers, and other scum of the earth... maybe the borderlands wasn't the best choice, but here we are? So I don't know this duke or his castle at all. If there's a town, there's people who need to buy and sell, and maybe we can make a go of it there... I hope. A real duke back in the Empire wouldn't give us a second look, but down here? Who knows... A chance to meet one of his kids and we just got here. You go meet with him. I'm going to take a bath and put on some clean clothes so I can make a good impression. Tell me what you think of him before I go talk to him."
