From the reverent way the passengers spoke about Temujun during the journey, you are expecting him to be either a very wise old cleric or a gifted charlatan. You take your place in line with the others who are queueing to enter his tent and idly you listen to their excited chatter. While you wait, a young boy clad in a mhaktis of striped silk walks along the line collecting Temujun’s fee. For five minutes’ consultation with the learned sage, the charge is 2 Gold Crowns.

If you wish to pay the fee, turn to 140.

If you cannot afford the charge, or if you choose not to pay it, turn instead to 234.
