Adenine's Driver
What would be a good topic?
Adenine
Ah yes, a wonderful idea! Then shall we begin?
It is said that Argentum was originally founded by a Nopon merchant, yes?

Rododo
Even littlepon know that. Was not just merchant, either. Was Driver, too.
Adenine
Indeed. So, this Nopon Driver...
Are you aware of how he used his Blade not as a tool of war, but as a trade associate?

Rododo
Wartime was very chaotic time. Argentum founder used Blade's power to great effect...
He go to crisis areas affected by strife or disaster, and form trading links where none exist. Very profitable.
And that not all. Argentum founder...

How about the history of Uraya?
Rododo
Very good. Then we begin!
Rododo
But long time ago, was governed by not six noble houses but nine!
Among those nine was Duchy of Envia, which hold power near equal to that of Selosia.
Among those nine was Duchy of Envia, which hold power near equal to that of Selosia.
Rododo
So eldest son Giani take over Duchy, but he too soon die of illness.
Rododo
Thus Duchy of Envia fall from power...
And Duchy of Selosia unite other noble houses, claiming title of King of Uraya.

Rododo
Many still suspect foul play from other noble lines, yes.
Rododo
Indeed! Prior to sudden death, Hannes, original leader of Envia, secretly had child with Gormotti woman.
Adenine
And it is often claimed that their descendants live on to this day, somewhere in Gormott.
If this theory were to be proven...

Rododo
Could threaten very existence of current Urayan royal line!
Rododo

Not many people out there who able to keep up with my history discussions.
