Xon Quexill says 'Just what I need in this outfit, another waste of flesh. Here, put this on. Go bother Talorial for a while - I'm sure he has some menial task for you. Return to me when you have become more experienced in our art, I will be able to further instruct you on how to progress through your early ranks, as well as in some of the various [trades] you will have available to you. You'd better prove yourself of value to me. I hear I can get few plat for the skull of an idiot on the black market, and I could make a fortune from your type. Now, get outta here!'

You say, 'What trades?'
Xon Quexill says 'I thought you might be one who was interested in the various different trades, but which one would suit you? Ahh, alas, it would be better to let you decide for yourself, perhaps you would even like to master them all! That would be quite a feat. Well, lets not get ahead of ourselves, here, take this book. When you have finished reading it, ask me for the [second book], and I shall give it to you. Inside them you will find the most basic recipes for each trade. These recipes are typically used as a base for more advanced crafting, for instance, if you wished to be a smith, one would need to find some ore and smelt it into something usable. Good luck!'
