Guard Kenyos:
Perhaps you already know this, but Talking Island is where the Elves first taught magic to Humans. The ruins in the north used to be a school that the Elves built to teach magic a long time ago.
Now all the Elves have left, although some say that there are a few who have stayed on, but no one knows how old they are.
Ask about the Elven Ruins.
See the Lord and get the tax rate information.
