”If I had known it, I would have called you back a little later” Roland joked
”No, Your Majesty Regardless of how prosperous the City of Dawn is, it can't compare with the City of Neverwinter personally created by you” Barov responded while s his mustache ”Wherever I am, my heart will always be with you”

”Do you need a lot of people?”
”Yes indeed, otherwise I'd only have to call Karl” Roland nodded ”I'll need at least 3,000 people”
