Is diplomacy necessary?

I'm hearing about Ryland for the first time.

Not surprising!!!!

In the original, there are two names: Roland and Ryland. And in your game, there's probably just an incorrect translation...

That's true! Anyone who doesn't believe can check it in the hero database. Everything is written in English there. It even says King Roland. :D
And the specialist in puppets is Ryland.
For me, the translations don't matter! The original is the best!!!
