Synopsis:
Two patriars discuss Gortash and the Army of the Absolute. Casual conversation while they attend a formal function. Relaxed.

6. : Gortash may be low-born, but if he is half the man Ravengard has proven to be, Baldur's Gate can count itself fortunate twice over.devnote
9. : Doesn't matter if a Duke comes from decadence or dirt, as long as they have the city's interests at heart.devnoteEnd

1. : I hardly think Lord Gortash needs the assistance of ink-stained librarians. Everything is under control.devnoteEnd

7. : Hardly surprising. Your library is almost entirely made up of tawdry chivalric romances.devnote
8. : Still, even among the educated this Absolute is quite the mystery.devnoteEnd
