During Lyr's wanderings, she is stopped by Cyrdak Drokkus. He approaches and bows, swooping his larger feathered cap in a long graceful arc in front of him, "Dear lady, I am Cyrdak Drokkus, the owner of the Sandpoint Theater. I am currently writing a little play about the Goblin attack on Sandpoint. I am writing it as a comedy, with various pyrotechnics for effects." The man snickers and continues, "I would be honored if you would take the lead in the play. We would fill the house."
