Weeeell I won't lie. It's... very, very cursed here. There's monster and demon attacks pretty frequently, especially if you're out at night. If you have to be on the street after dark, make sure you have a lantern or a buddy to walk with. Preferably both.

As for what to do... You could probably take up an apprenticeship? [ How old is he, anyway? He seems like a young teenager... Should he be staying at a tavern? ]
