"My name, good friend, is Batlin. And indeed it is truly a privilege to meet the Avatar in the flesh."

"I was once a druid. Now I am the leader and the originator of The Fellowship. It is rapidly growing throughout Britannia and keeps me very busy, as thou canst well imagine. Ha! Ha! Ha!"

"The Fellowship was formed twenty years ago with the full approval and support of Lord British. It is a society of spiritual seekers who strive to reach the highest levels of human potential and to share this knowledge freely with all people."

"The Fellowship advances the philosophy of sanguine cognition, a way to apply a positive order of thought to one's life through what is called the Triad of Inner Strength."

"We strive to avoid the mistakes made by mystics and sages since the dawn of time. They apply the standards of the past, such as the virtues, for example, to qualify the present, and thus they do not perceive it correctly. We seek to examine our present lives each on our own terms and see the world the way it is."

"They are perfectly adequate for those who feel that they still need them for whatever reason. But no one, not even thyself, thou must admit, Avatar, can fulfill them perfectly. Therefore they are a philosophy that is ultimately based upon failure. We have never claimed that our teachings are a substitute for the virtues. However, ours is a belief that is based upon success, not failure."

"The Triad of Inner Strength is simply three basic values that, when applied in unison, enable one to be more creative, satisfied and successful in life."

"The three values of the Triad of Inner Strength are Strive For Unity, Trust Thy Brother and Worthiness Precedes Reward."

"When we say Strive For Unity, it is simply our way of expressing how the people of Britannia should all cooperate and work together. A worthwhile sentiment, I am certain thou wouldst concur."

"What The Fellowship means by this is that people are all the same and the world is, generally speaking, a supportive, nurturing place. The trust we place in each other is like the pinions that hold our society together. Quite true, wouldst thou not say?"

"Allow me to explain the meaning of Worthiness Precedes Reward. Each one of us seeks something which we desire from life and we must strive to be worthy of that which we seek. It would be difficult for thee to disagree I am quite sure."

"Ah, my good colleagues Elizabeth and Abraham were just here. They left this morning for Minoc on Fellowship business. They deal with the distribution and collection of funds."

"I have not seen my colleagues since they were last here. They are busy folk."

"I have not seen my colleagues since they were last here. They are busy folk."

Batlin smiles and shakes his head. "Thou art not having much luck tracking them down, art thou? They were here, having done some work in Jhelom, but now they have gone to Vesper to see about starting a branch there."

"I have not seen my colleagues since they were last here. They are busy folk."

"But thou art already a member, Avatar! One can only join once!"

"Thou hast not completed thy tasks. Remember that Worthiness Precedes Reward. Once thou hast completed the missions, thou mayest join."

"Ah! I do hope thine hands are not too full to take the package."

"Excellent! Here it is. Thou must now be on thy way!"END

"Avatar! I am tired of this! Please make room in thine inventory for the package!"END

"Congratulations, Avatar, and our thanks to thee for successfully delivering our package to Elynor of Minoc. Now we have another task at hand before thou canst join The Fellowship. Because thou didst deliver the package thou hast proven thyself worthy of performing another mission."

"Avatar, didst thou deliver the package to Elynor of Minoc?"

"Didst thou open the package?"

"Thou knew that thou wast instructed not to open it. We put trust in thee to carry out our instructions to the letter and that trust was broken."

"That is not what Elynor of Minoc tells us. We put trust in thee to carry out our instructions to the letter and that trust was broken.

"I understand that the contents of the package were missing as well, and this is very serious indeed!

"I am afraid that thou must carry out a mission for us as a test of trust if thou art to begin truly walking with The Fellowship."

Batlin's eyes open wide in surprise.

"What has happened? Hast thou lost the package?"

"Tsk. Tsk. Tsk. That is most unfortunate. We put trust in thee to deliver the package and that trust was broken. I am afraid that thou must carry out a mission for us as a test of trust if thou art to begin truly walking with The Fellowship."

"Please deliver our package, Avatar. We have more business to discuss once thou art finished."END

"Thou shalt visit the dungeon of Destard, which is in the mountains just west of Trinsic. Do not worry, it is completely deserted. There thou shalt find a chest of Fellowship funds which was hidden for safekeeping just a few days ago. Thou wilt know the chest because it will contain not only gold but two Fellowship medallions. The site is also most likely marked with a Fellowship staff. Bring these funds back to us without losing a single coin and thou wilt have successfully completed thy mission. No need to bring the chest, just the gold. Now, thou must be on thy way!"END

"Ah yes, thou hast returned from Dungeon Destard! But wait! I do not see the Fellowship funds that thou wast to bring back! What has happened?!"

"Why, thy tale is outlandish! I refuse to believe it!" Batlin sniffs in irritation.

"Monsters! There are monsters lurking in dungeon Destard?! Well then, I do apologize for thine inconvenience."

"Surely thou canst do better than that! If thou simply dost not wish to answer my question why dost thou not say so?"

"Allow me to present thee with thy Fellowship medallion." Batlin gives you the medallion. "Please -- wear the medallion at all times. Ready it to thy neck immediately! Oh, and... welcome to The Fellowship, Avatar."

"While thou art here, please feel free to enjoy an apple. The finest in all of Britannia, I am certain thou wilt find. They are provided to The Fellowship by the Royal Orchards."

"Once a person has walked with The Fellowship long enough and applied the Triad of Inner Strength to his life, he has cleared his mind of all conflicting, counterproductive thoughts to the point where he may actually hear his internal voice of reason. This voice of reason is the core of thine inner mind which guides thee through pure instinct, wisdom and irreproachable logic. Once one starts to listen to it and follow its guidance, one has achieved the height of enlightenment. Perhaps thou shalt hear it one day."

"Only active or potential Fellowship members are privy to the concept of 'the voice'. I can tell thee more when thou dost take the Fellowship test."

"It is a retreat from the pressures and distractions of everyday life where new members of The Fellowship may go and study the philosophies of The Fellowship. It is located on an island east of Serpent's Hold."
