There's some shady business going on between Mahagra and Genevia! I've spoken with a few people now, and all of them claim they were approached by a half-giantess to break up a wedding. Some of these folks claim they facilitated the wedding, and some say they stopped it... but the large lady in question is STILL waylaying strangers and sending them off on a chase around the continent, giving them the same old story!

So, I did a bit of investigating into what is going on here. Despite the differences between the stories people tell, there are certain common factors. The fundamental facts are that the dupe is sent to make sure various representatives of the two factions are present at the so-called wedding grounds at a certain time. It's obvious that the wedding isn't the important thing here since sometimes it happens and sometimes it doesn't. It's just a red herring to distract the dupe. The thing that does happen every time is an exchange between the two factions handled by the unwitting volunteer.

A box containing an unknown substance is transferred from the half-giants to the gnomes, and in return the gnomes hand over a fancy globe to the half-giants. What I want to know is, what's inside?! What are the giants growing in Mahagra that the gnomes are so eager to get their hands on, and what kind of globes are those that the three uncles are manufacturing in their little factory above Copperton? Is the rumour about the shrinking potion a hint at the truth? Is that what the gnomes covet so highly, and this questionable family wants to keep it to themselves, or is there something more sinister going on?

Clearly, someone needs to shut down the Copperton factory and take that half-giantess and escort her back to Mahagra before things turn ugly and some poor unsuspecting newcomer to New Trismus gets caught in the middle of it and maybe gets hurt!
