☀️ Arselia and Akonia

At that moment, Alaria realized that Victor had told her the departure date, and even the destination, but she hadn't bothered to ask. However, considering their conversation about a possible meeting with the vizier, perhaps the commander didn't have a specific date in mind. Or maybe he was just a little absent-minded, like his subordinates.
— The date is still uncertain; we need to finish a few things in Barsin, so you'll have to wait a bit. I'll let you know soon.

— Alright. You know where to find me.

During the conversation between Victor and Marduk Ishtaran, he and his team acquire the Curse of Secrecy.
None of this quartet can discuss the information received from Marduk with anyone other than him and each other.

— I have two pieces of news, one bad, one good. — Victor said when he returned to Alaria. — The good news is that the sorcerer knows what the apostles are like and where they can supposedly be found. As it turns out, it was he who provided the information about them to Margel himself. And the bad news is that he's a very shady and secretive guy who, of course, won't share information for free, and he's also very stubborn and argumentative.
