“Northward — House Durendaire Maxim
Born in the same year as his House Fortemps counterpart, Count Charlemend de Durendaire has, for decades, been engaged in a political rivalry with Lord Edmont. Yet his staunch opposition is not born out of mere stubbornness. Indeed, he once shared the Count de Fortemps’s desire to open Ishgard’s borders and welcome foreign influences. Lord Charlemend’s position on such matters changed after his firstborn son took to sea on a voyage to broaden his horizons, only to be set upon by pirates and never seen again.
Following that tragic incident, the count grew distrustful of outsiders, and adopted far more conservative positions in line with established policy. However, he is not blind to the changing times, and in light of recent historical revelations, he resolved to support the popular Ser Aymeric, in a pragmatic bid to retain influence and preserve some semblance of the status quo.

Crafting Deliverables
- Patient Necessities
- Excellent, these necessities will serve our patients well. Cleanliness being of the essence, I will see to disinfecting these ere they are put to use. But first, a little inspection for good measure...
- <standard response>
- Medical Supplies
- From metal receptacles to cloth bandages, medical equipment must be made to exacting standards. Having come from your hands, I expect this will be more than satisfactory, but it would be remiss of me not to perform an inspection. If you'll excuse me...
- <standard response>
- Rehabilitation Aids
- Safety is paramount when it comes to rehabilitation, and any equipment used must be sturdy and durable. Having come from your hands, I expect this will be more than satisfactory, but it would be remiss of me not to perform an inspection. If you'll excuse me...
- <standard response>
- High Tea Essentials
- In a snow-swept nation such as ours, nobles ad commoners alike are partial to a steaming cup of tea served with sweets. These items will allow us to host an event that our patients will enjoy. Now, if I might take a closer look...
- <standard response>
- Art Supplies
- Painting provides not only a means of relaxation, but rehabilitation besides. These supplies will allow our patients to enjoy the benefits of exercising their artistry as they continue their journey of healing. Now, if I might take a closer look...
- Hm, yes, very fine stuff indeed! It will help to bring a touch of joy to our patients' lives!
Gathering Deliverables
- Patient Necessity Materials
- Brought us some lye, have you? Excellent. The infirmary ever has need of soap, and this will make a goodly amount of the stuff. Now, if I might take a closer look...
- <standard response>
- Medical Supply Materials
- From metal receptacles to cloth bandages, medical equipment must be made of quality materials. Having come from your hands, I expect this will be more than satisfactory, but it would be remiss of me not to perform an inspection. If you'll excuse me...
- <standard response>
- Rehabilitation Aid Materials
- Safety is paramount when it comes to rehabilitation, and the materials used in any equipment must be sturdy and durable. Having come from your hands, I expect this will be more than satisfactory, but it would be remiss of me not to perform an inspection. If you'll excuse me...
- <standard response>
- High Tea Ingredients
- In a snow-swept nation such as ours, nobles and commoners alike are partial to a steaming cup of tea served with sweets. Using this ingredient, we can prepare a toothsome syrup that our patients will enjoy. Now, if I might take a closer look...
- <standard response>
- Art Supplies Materials
- Painting provides not only a means of recreation, but rehabilitation besides. With this ingredient, we can prepare colors for our patients to use in their artistic endeavors. Now, if I might take a closer look...
- Hm, yes, very fine stuff indeed! It will help to bring a touch of joy to our patients' lives!
Fishing Deliverables
- Dravanian Scallop
- Brought us a scallop, have you? Excellent. The infirmary ever has need of soap, and the powder obtained from its shell will make a goodly amount of the stuff. Now, if I might take a closer look...
- <standard response>
- Cloud Kelp
- Ah, yes, from this variety of kelp, we can distill an extract with potent disinfecting properties -- that is, assuming the specimen is sufficiently lush. Let us take a closer look...
- <standard response>
- Scarlet Frog
- Rehabilitation is all too often a painful process, but from this frog's poison, we can concoct a medicine that effectively dulls pain. Now, if I might take a closer look at the critter...
- <standard response>
- White Clam
- I am told that, in the Far East, it is customary to burn incense when drinking tea. Using such delightful seashells as incense burners, we can fill the room with a soothing scent. Now, if I might take a closer look...
- <standard response>
- Fragrant Sweetfish
- Ah, yes, this fish is considered a delicacy even among nobility. As tasty as it is nutritious, it will allow us to prepare meals that nourish the body even as it pleases the palate. Now, if I might take a closer look...
- Hm, yes, very fine stuff indeed! It will help to bring a touch of joy to our patients' lives!
Standard Response
- low quality
- Hm, yes, nothing to be desired. You are true to your reputation, my friend.
- medium quality
- Hm-hm, even to my layman's eyes, 'tis plain the quality is superior. Maelie will surely be pleased.
- high quality
- By the Fury, even to my layman's eyes, 'tis plain the quality is transcendent! I cannot show this to Maelie soon enough!

Ronantain: A-Aye, well, I but follow my uncle's example.
Charlemend: It does me well to see the younger generation embrace change. After all, 'tis they who shall lead Ishgard unto the future. Not to say that I won't do my part, but I must work hard if I am to keep up with their youthful vigor!
