You are a Tarnished^[1], I can see it.

And I can also see... That you're not after my throat.

Then why not purchase a little something? I am Kale^[2], Purveyor of fine goods.

I am of a nomadic^[3] people. Selling wares as I travel.

The land^[4] has been tainted by madness since the shattering^[5] of the Elden Ring^[6].

It's only Tarnished^[1] like yourself who keep things from drying up entirely.

Let's say you're a very welcome customer.

You know, if you can spare the runes^[7], you should buy yourself a crafting kit^[8].

A crafting kit^[8] allows you to make basic items on your own.

Essential really, if you intend to survive out here for any duration.

The kit costs a bundle, and I admit, I do take my cut. But the important thing is that you survive.

Every customer counts, after all.
