The Bartender raised his eyebrows.

"What do the people think? It depends on what people you talk to and what rumors they heard. No information coming from the Governor, none from the Thane either. They are a close lipped pair, they sure are. They don't tell the people anything."

He looked Eyvind up and down, taking note of his garb and added, "Imperial people aren't any better either. They come here as if they going to do something, but all they do is hang out. Might be they going to fight Orcs. Might be they won't. Had an article in the Herald a while back. Said there were conflicting rumors about war or peace with the Orcs. That's about the most solid information that the people have.

"Some people want war, some want peace. Some like it the way it is now. Quite a few wonder why the Imperial Army doesn't do something. They been around for some time now and they don't do anything. Some citizens want to join up and fight Orcs. Mostly the youngsters want to. Most citizens figure that if the Imperial Army could not defeat the Orcs before, then no rag-tag Provincial Army is going to do any better. Most people want to stay home and have the Imperial Army wipe out the Orcs. A lot of others say we ought to leave the Orcs be and not stir up a hornets nest.

"No matter what happens, there going to be a lot of people who won't like it. Most the complaining was that nobody tells the citizens what is going on. Now a lot of them might not care what is going on."

He then added, "What are you drinking"?
