Folk and the Guide
Pailhaven is full of people going about their day: dockers hauling crates, smiths at the forge, anglers on the jetty, a fiddler in the tavern. Most of them will stop and talk.
Talking to folk
Section titled “Talking to folk”- Right-click someone to talk. They turn to face you and a dialogue opens with a few things to ask.
- Walk away to end the conversation. They say goodbye and go back to work.
- Folk keep a daily routine on real time: some head to the tavern in the evening, go home at night, or take Sunday off on the quay bench.
- Many folk chat out loud now and then in a speech bubble when you pass.
- Some folk offer a service: an extra option that opens a menu or does a job for you.
The Guide
Section titled “The Guide”The Guide is an old sailor by the Quest Guide kiosk on Bucket Square, right where you spawn. Click him for a chat menu sorted into settling in, trading and discovering. Anywhere in the world, /guide lists his topics and /guide <topic> reads one.

Some faces worth meeting
Section titled “Some faces worth meeting”Not everyone has a job for you, but many have a story. A few to look out for:
- Aldous Penn, the Town Crier, who knows the news.
- Halvard Brune, the Harbourmaster, who runs the quay.
- Old Marlowe, a retired ferry pilot full of tall tales.
- Eskil Morrow, Keeper of the Light at the lighthouse.
- Ambrose Quill, the Archivist.
- Wren Callow, the Rune Loft enchanter.
- Brother Anselm, who rings the Tally Bell.
- Fenn Ashby, the busker, and Nessa Kerrow, the Tap & Tide fiddler.
Mind your manners around the townsfolk. Sneaking up on them, hitting them or poking through their things can bring the Harbour Watch down on you.
