This letter has been cleared for civilian view by the Vaer Reef council. World-hopper: Perhaps this letter may come as a surprise, but I can assure you that you are not in any legal trouble. I am sending you this correspondence merely to check in on your status as an associate of Vaer's Justice and to exchange civilian pleasantries, as we have become rather frequent acquaintances of late. How do you do? I hope (in the absence of any evidence otherwise) that you are well. If not, please inform me if Vaer's Justice can assist in any way. I am well. Work continues as usual. As you are likely aware by now, I cannot disclose any of the details of my cases in order to protect the privacy of the person and/or persons involved. As such, not much remains for me to speak of on those matters. However, my diet is reasonably healthy, given that I eat almost exclusively at the courthouse cafeteria. I have also recently bought a monograph on forensic accounting, though I have not yet had the chance to read it. The reef has had a spate of embezzlements recently, which can be expected since it’s near the end of the tax season. The priests and judges of Vaer, including myself, have been called to interpret and enforce contracts and contract-related law. I find the work pleasant, perhaps even invigorating. That is all I have to report. Signed: Judge Xarion, Attorney At Law, Keeper of Vaer’s Grace |
| 500 Affection |
World-hopper: This letter is an unofficial request for your presence. I require your assistance on spiritual matters, particularly pertaining to the vision you recently had of Vaer. Although this task is not time-sensitive, I must confess that I feel a particular sense of urgency. If you need to get your own affairs in order before visiting, I understand. I do have the capacity to wait for answers, no matter how much I wish I didn’t have to. Signed: Judge Xarion, Keeper of Vaer’s Grace | |
| 800 Affection |
This letter has been cleared for civilian view by the Vaer Reef council. World-hopper: My secretary informed me that my earlier correspondence may have seemed curt. My apologies. I don’t often have occasion to send letters, and when I do they are either: 1. For work purposes, 2. To work with colleagues, or 3. Addressing a nuisance that must be dealt with so I may continue my work. I don’t have much experience with writing letters for no other reason than the fact that I wish to. It is something I intend to practice, work permitting. As such, I have consulted a collection of renowned authors’ correspondences in order to discover what a letter written for pleasure and pleasure alone might entail. The most popular subjects appear to be pointless twaddle, ranging from inane descriptions of the writer’s surroundings to elaborate professions of their regard. If you do not mind, I will attempt this: I am writing to you from my office. You know what it looks like, because you have seen it, but I will proceed to describe it anyway. It measures ten by fifteen caudal fin lengths, has two small windows along the leftmost wall and four bookshelves located at the back. There are two exits. Four, if you are a child small enough to crawl out the window. The walls are gray. The ceiling and floor are gray. If I had my way, the bookshelves, desk, chair, and all other sundry decorations would be gray as well, but they are draped in Vaer’s colors as befitting a Judge of my station. It was not my decision, but it is acceptable. Do any other letter writers feel rather doltish as they compose their missives? I suppose my inexperience is rather apparent, but hopefully I have made up for it with genuine sentiment. Signed: Judge Xarion | |
| 1,100 Affection |
World-hopper: Not much has changed since my previous missive. In my usual day-to-day life, I tend to endeavor to stick as closely to my routine as possible. I find that in a ceaselessly chaotic world, the only pockets of peace are the ones you carve out for yourself. I may be called in to preside on twenty different crises a day, but I can still choose to awaken at the same hour, or eat the same thing for lunch that I did the day before. Having such constants centers me. I prefer knowing at least one thing about each oncoming day for certain, even if it’s as small as the clothes I’ve decided I’ll wear. When almost every choice I must make in the course of my work is momentous, when I have to consider each case on my docket anew, I need ways to remind myself that not every decision is life-and-death. I have never been one for excitement. Even as a child, I preferred to stay at home with my books instead of venturing out to the playground. According to family lore, I drove my family quite wild with what they fondly call my extraordinary fussiness. I needed my room arranged just so, and I had very definite opinions on what food was suitable for dinner. As I grew older, I began taking on household chores myself just to have them done to perfection. I suppose that habit’s never changed. Tomorrow, as always, I will wake at my usual hour. I will swim the same route to work, and take my meal in the same corner of the courthouse cafeteria. Afterwards is my weekly shift at the senior center, then an hour at the pro bono legal clinic I’ve set up for anyone who might need assistance. The structure of my day is the same, even as the content shifts. I will work different cases and receive different visitors. Perhaps I might see you. Now, that is a change I’d welcome. Signed: Xarion | |

Dear World-hopper, I found this gem while clearing out my cellar. It was sandwiched between stacks of my old legal textbooks and a childhood essay on what I wanted to be when I grew up. I reread the essay expecting to see "judge" or at the very least, something to do with law or public service, but apparently my eight-year-old self's greatest aspiration was to become a professional seahorse rancher. There are many things about my life today that I could not have predicted in my youth. My job, for one. The fact that I don't have thirty-six pets, all named some variation of Mr. Vaer-Vaer, is another. But most of all, the one thing I couldn't have expected, no matter how wild my conjectures became, is you. I'm not just referring to the fact that you're from the surface. Visitors from above are uncommon, but not completely unheard of. I've always been a solitary man, you see. I've become used to being respected, but not liked. Admired, but not cared for. I am stiff and inflexible, and my conversation is dull. I never even thought to hope that I could one day have a friend who knows me like you do. Thank you, world-hopper, for understanding me, and listening to me. You've been by my side for quite some time, never asking anything in return. I didn't know how lonely I was until I came to know you, and now that I have your friendship, I find myself quite grateful for your regard. I hope we can maintain it far into the future, when the both of us are old, and one day reminisce about these golden days of our youth. Your friend, Xarion |
| Player Birthday (300 Affection) |
World-hopper: Traditionally, among the justices of Vaer, a birthday is an opportunity for meditation and self-reflection. What decisions have you made over the past year, and what has your effect been on those around you? Have you lived up to your goals, or fallen short? What plans do you have for the year to come? As you are not a Vaer's Justice member, you are free to spend the day in frivolous revelry if you so wish. I hear sweets and social gatherings are quite popular. Judge Xarion |

| -400 Affection |
This letter has been cleared for civilian view by the Vaer Reef council. World-hopper, Obnoxiousness is not a legally actionable offense. Although I have never regretted the limitations set forth in law, your actions have made me come close. Fortunately for you, I vowed long ago to never let my personal likes and dislikes interfere with my work. However, if “not a criminal” is the most positive thing I can say about you, it’s clear that your conduct leaves much to be desired. Perhaps you’re merely unfamiliar with Vaer Reef’s standards for civilized behavior. I can’t imagine any society where it’s acceptable to be as consistently careless as you are, but the world is a very strange place. I can only hope that you learn consideration and empathy with time. Be better. Judge Xarion, Attorney At Law, Keeper of Vaer’s Grace | |
| -900 Affection |
World-hopper: I am urging you to cease your bedevilment at once. Perhaps you have a specific antipathy for me. Very well. I have suffered worse disapproval, and you are free to despise and distress me as you wish. However, as you have been interfering with the day-to-day operations of the courthouse, your misconduct impacts not only me, but the rest of Vaer Reef as well. This, I cannot forgive. I don’t understand why you insist on continuing your misbehavior. Does it delight you to see others suffer? Do you take particular joy in destroying within seconds what it’s taken others hours to build? Why? Surely there could be better, more productive things you could be doing with your life. I would suggest literally anything else. Judge Xarion, Attorney At Law, Keeper of Vaer’s Grace | |
| -1,500 Affection |
World-Hopper: I see now that no amount of pleading or reasoning will stop your misbehavior. When I was young, I once thought that people only did cruel things because they didn’t understand the harm that they caused. Perhaps they had some secret pain yet to be healed, and they lashed out unthinking, ignorant of their victims’ hurt. As an adult, I’ve learned that that’s not always the case. Some people simply delight in the suffering of others. I think that you must be one of them. Further attempting to fix your personality or persuade you to the side of good would be a waste of my already limited time. You’ve proven yourself to be selfish and uncaring, and I cannot continue to throw away my effort and energy on someone who doesn’t want to change. I still hope that someday you’ll see the error of your ways. Cruelty may bring you temporary satisfaction, but it’s a hollow and empty path. Perhaps, in time, another will show you how to end the cycle of toxic behavior you seem to be locked into, but I cannot be the one to do it. We are opponents now, world-hopper, if not enemies. If you ever want to change, you’ll have to take the first step yourself. Judge Xarion, Attorney At Law, Keeper of Vaer’s Grace |
Chit Chat[]
Chit-chatting with a NPC will give you a maximum of +1 
per day. They will repeat the same sentences over and over, but it’s a nice way of getting to know a bit more about Dappervolk and its inhabitants.
Low Affection:
- "Contrary to popular belief, the majority of my time does not go to flashy, high-profile arrests. Most of the cases on our docket are civil issues, like contract disputes and health and safety code violations."
- "My life would be infinitely easier if people would just think about their actions before doing anything. Especially pirates, all action and no forethought."
- "Part of my training as a justice of Vaer was learning the city’s legal code so well I could recite the whole thing backwards. I still can, even now."
- "Ah. World-hopper. Do you require any assistance?"
High Affection:
- "You know, world-hopper, something about your presence always puts my legal mind at ease"
- "It seems that I've relied on your help quite often lately, world-hopper. Thank you for taking on part of my burden"
Trivia[]
- When he was eight years old, Xarion wanted to become a professional seahorse rancher.
- He also wanted to own thirty-six pets, all named some variation of Mr. Vaer-Vaer.
