[Theying]

Theyiing had little experience with politics, and he hadn't wanted to. He wanted no parts of conflicts over power games or juristiction. Still, it was clear that something big was going on here and the tradesman didn't want to be stumbling out there all alone and likely to be attacked by all sides.

Theying began with a respectful bow, and fell back upon the most formal tones in his arsenal. He did not wish to be any further on anyone's bad side, although it appeared that it was far too late to stay on the man's good side.

"I was told that you were the one to see," Theying said. "My name is Theying, and I'm a Master herbalist. I was merely on my way to test the effectiveness of several formulas for undead repellant, but it seems that there is more going on here than I expected. Would it be feasible for me to continue the experiments at this time?"
