Dialogue Highlights

First Meeting

""Ah! Well, I'm a clever bug. When that strange thread struck down from above, I shut up tight and huddled in my bellhome. Might've been a problem for the others about here, but my store was flush with supplies, so no fear I'd go hungry.""

Regular Shopping

""Hello again! Fancy buying something special before your tasks whisk you away?""

After Quest Completion

""Oh yes, the cheeky little so-and-so came by and dropped his cargo off at last. Poor dear was so shaken by his misadventures, I almost didn't have the heart to dock his earnings. All's well now, though! Take a look at the lovely new goods I have available!""

""Gleaming rest... Almost there... Still alive... For the pilgrims, many... We serve, safe...""

Quest Connection

Frey's expanded inventory is tied to the "My Missing Courier" quest. Before completion, her store appears quite bare as she admits to eating through her supplies during the extended wait. Once her courier returns safely, she offers a full range of valuable items including healing aids and useful travel supplies.

Cultural Notes

Frey takes pride in Bellhart's historical reputation for fine claw-work, lamenting that this art has been lost among modern pilgrims. Her craftsmanship skills are evident in her ability to string rosary necklaces, demonstrating the traditional skills that once made Bellharters renowned.

Gameplay Significance

Frey serves as both a practical merchant and a quest hub, providing essential items for travelers while also connecting to Bellhart's broader narrative about survival and community resilience during crisis.
