Between a Revolt and Revolution

Don't try to get friendly with me just because you talked to Lady Isobelle. You'll have to prove your worth to earn our trust in the Xian Merchant Guild. I do, however, commend you for not being fooled by Bobby Lauren's plea. There's a fairly simple reason why Bobby Lauren's League of Merchants went on strike. It's because Jordine, who in essence controls Bobby Lauren, wants to levy high taxes. With the League of Merchants on strike, they'd have no reason to pay us back... What a fool Bobby Lauren is... This is clearly more than what you can grasp. Always better to show simpletons firsthand than try to explain the details. You'll find the Eastern Gateway after crossing the river and heading further South. A group of farmers that have formed a rebel group there, under the leadership of Al Rhundi, who have had enough of high taxes. Talk to Rolenai. He's a supporter of the rebels. What you do next is for you to decide. What are you still doing standing around? Get on with it then. Do not keep Isobelle waiting any longer.

Talk to Rolenai at the Eastern Gateway. Please don't test Isobelle's patience.

Yes, I am Rolenai. And you're an adventurer... Ah, the Xian Merchant Guild sent you? Is it your first time here?
