Taurin is the king’s knight, but he has a weakness for song. When he hears of a new bard performing at Jéànty’s Inn, he has to go see the half-elf flautist for himself.

Quim’s music is captivating, and Taurin returns to the Inn a second night. The knight’s interest is evident to the bard, who invites Taurin to his room for a private performance.
