[10.13] Magnolia and Sariant Lambs
As in... Why is there not a single Sariant in Magnolia's household? Both sides could profit a lot from that arrangement:
for the Sariants:
\- Magnolia is level 57. Earning her approval would count for the Trial of Leveling. Notably, while her exact level is unknown to the public, she is the highest leveled known noble in Izril.
\- she has a \[Employees: Species Perks\] skill - a Sariant working for her might get an attribute of some other species, like a gnoll's smell, a goblin's read on body language, a drake's tail, a half-elf's capacity for magic.... that could help them a lot and might kickstart them developing a skill out of this unique situation.
For Magnolia:
\- again, her \[Employees: Species Perks\]. She benefits from having employees of as many species as possible on payroll. A Sariant perk (if they count for the skill) may make other employees seem unthreatening, for example, which sounds very helpful for all the clandestine stuff they do.
\- Sariants are cute and kind of a status symbol among nobles?
Now, it is entirely possible that Magnolia had some bad experience with Sariants at one point where they showed their true colors, and doesn't suffer Sariants in her presence since then - but nothing of that sort has been stated, as far as I'm aware.
So why don't Sariants flock to Magnolia? Thoughts?
