Iason Heine:
After you left, I found the key to understanding the contract!
Let me read you the translated version:
"The Merchants of Mammon shall respectfully pledge the following to Great Emperor of Elmoreden:
When dark blood-colored water begins to swallow the Seal, this promise will reveal itself to the world, and those who have the Emperor's gold must cross the river of time..."
(As Iason Heine reads the contract, a dim light seems to emanate from it. You have the sense that something has occurred. When you look around, you see a Dwarf standing nearby.)
