[Town Square Central]
This is the heart of the main square of Wehnimer's Landing.

At the north end of the space, an old well, with moss-covered stones and a craggy roof, is shaded by a strong, robust tree. The oak is tall and straight, and it is apparent that the roots run deep. You also see some stone benches.
Also here: Gerade, Queez, Serilius, Tunnuen, Akenshin, Centio who is seated, Dylia, Btine, Lady Berylla, Lord Primum.

There are certain "keywords" you should use to obtain this information, but as you age, items will start predicting the information you require next, and "keywords" will become less important.  Azure recommends that young bards should use four stanzas per verse and each stanza should rhyme (and that is a true rhyme, not a sound-alike rhyme). She also states that scansion does play a part in lore singing. That means that stanzas should somehow maintain a decent rhythm. So if your first stanza has 6 beats and the next stanza has 8, the next two should follow the same...or similar beats.)

(Note again that the number of charges was revealed in the third verse but not the fifth. See comment above.)
