Rite: Book Hunt

Rites

Book Hunt

The bookstore owner finds you and asks if you could accompany him on a trip to the Upper City. He wants to visit a few nobles and try to collect some worthwhile books from them. He comes to you partly because he believes you have a genuine love for reading, and partly because he’s terrible at dealing with nobles. If you can’t come yourself, at least send someone who knows how to handle such delicate conversations.
