[[Therese]] is a gardener, and refugee from [[Dwyndarre]]. Recently, [[Therese]] decided to start growing herbs and vegetables to help feed her fellow townsfolk, and to reduce the burden on [[Ivyn]] and [[Jara]]. Unlike most Elves, [[Therese]] has no problems getting dirty, and she can often be found at the [[Serbule Keep]] garden. She maintains a stock of basic vegetable seeds for sale, as well as various types of tannin powder.

[[Therese]] became friends with [[Durstin Tallow]] and [[Brianna Willer]], residents of Serbule Hills, during her travels to find other gardeners. She thinks that [[Gretchen Salas]] is a horrible person.

That fool elf Pennoc invited a traveling circus from [[Sinoca]] to come visit here.

I would have had Pennoc thrown in the dungeon if we had a dungeon.
}}
[[Pennoc]] is an Elven merchant living in [[Serbule Keep]]. He is a rich trader who has been stuck in the town due to being waylaid on the road. Naturally, being rich and cooped up in the small town of [[Serbule]] has made him restless. As such, he is willing to offer a number of mundane quests to passing travelers to satiate his boredom.

==Location==
; [[Serbule]]
: Inside a building just south of the well in [[Serbule Keep]]. [[File:Pennoc_Location.jpg|400px|thumb|right|[[Pennoc]], inside his home located in [[Serbule Keep]]. [[Elahil]] can also be found in this house, or wandering just outside.]]

==Entertain Me Quests ==
Pennoc offers a large selection of seemingly random quests. You may only learn one of Pennoc's quests at a time. When you receive a quest from Pennoc, it is selected randomly, but you will not receive the same quest again if you have completed it in the last 12 hours.

==Possible Rewards==

[[Selphie]] teaches the [[Retail Management]] skill. Having that skill, allows a player to rent one of the vendor-stalls in the Keep. A player can place items in the vendor-stall that she wants to sell to other players and set the price for those items.

She also offers some conversation options that aid in the management of your player owned shop.

- If you leave a note for a shop-owner, that shop-owner has the option to reply to you. Selphie offers a way to read the replies from show-owners to you.

- After a shop closes, Selphie offers some options to do some post-shop clean-up help.

==Location==

: Just inside the entrance of [[Serbule Keep]]'s Keep.

==Training==
: Selphie has two options to learn the skill. If you already have the [[Industry]] skill to level 25 or above, she can teach you Retail Management for a reduced price (1,000).
: If you lack the required Industry skill, Selphie offers you to teach you [[Retail Management]] for 20,000.

I am Selphie, the facility manager for this keep. I oversee all these slack-jawed morons that you can hire for a day's work. If any of them give you trouble, report them to me. Do not get into a fight with them, or you'll be banned from the building, understood?

Now, feel free to visit the stalls and see if there's anything you like.
: '''You said something about me not having any 'notes?'
If you leave a note for a shopkeeper, they may want to get back in touch with you. They would do that by leaving a note with me. But you do not have any such notes, so you should move along. Good day.
: '''Do you offer training?'''
(See Training above)
: '''I need post-shop clean-up help.'''
Your closed shop has X Councils.

There are X item stacks in the shop inventory.

There are X unread customer-notes for you to read.

There's nothing I can help you with, Adventurer.

[[Nelson Ballard]] is the retired Praetor of Serbule Keep.

The retired Nelson was summoned by the Council to oversee the construction of a town in the east to hold Elven refugees from the destroyed [[Dwyndarre]]. His wife died five years ago, so he had no qualms packing up and accepting the mission. He originally lived outside of [[Statehelm]].

When she got here she decided she'd grow food to feed everyone, and she's been learning for the past few months. She grows some herbs and a few vegetables, but [[Ivyn]] and [[Jara]] outside of town are the real food-makers here -- they've been farmers for two hundred years. Incredible! Therese is just playing at it.
:: Therese is a dear little thing, though. Don't tell her I said that.
: ''' [[Joeh]]...'''
:: The weapon shopkeeper? He bought a bunch of stock with him, and he can maintain weapons well. He fights well, too, but... if he offers to spar with you, say no.
:: I sparred with him once. We had a pretty good work out, and then he... things got awkward. I don't want to talk about it.
: ''' [[Marna]]...'''
:: She was a successful businesswoman back in her homeland. Lost everything, and she's anxious to claw her way back. She's older than most of the Elves here, not that I can tell their ages.
:: She can be a bit... ambitious. But she works damned hard -- for an Elf, I mean.
: ''' [[Harry the Wolf|Harry]]... '''
:: I don't know any Harry. Oh wait, you mean the wolf? Seems to be Therese's pet, hangs out in her garden a lot. She has weird pets.
:: I thought I heard that wolf talking to her once, but I'm pretty sure it was [[Velkort]] playing a prank on me with some kind of ventriloquism spell.

::
Oh, we don't get a lot of Human visitors. Welcome to the daycare town.

'''Daycare town?'''

::Oh, it just feels that way sometimes. This city was going to be a new Council outpost for Humans, but was abondoned due to the war effort. When the Eleven city of Dwyndarre was destroyed, we finished building it as a shelter for refugees that fled into our country.

'''So what happened to Dwyndarre?'''

::Dwyndarre? Who knows! It just blew the fuck up! Right off the famned map, a million Elves killed in a single day. The refugees here were the ones that weren't in the city at the time. The are no survivors from Dwyndare proper. It's just ash now.

'''Holy crap. And there's no clue what caused it?'''

::Nope. One day it was a lovely tree-top city, the next day it was just ash. No trees for a hundred miles! Not even dragons are that thorough. It's gotta be demons, right? Demons from the front lines of the army. But how would they show up in Dwyndarre? Perverted Eleven magicians making some sort of sex deal for loner dicks, that's what I heard! (Nelson snickers and then sees you aren't laughing,) It's a joke! You aren't from around here, are you?

''' I kind of lost my memory '''

::Oh! Another one of those, eh? We've had a few people wander in without any memories the past month or two. Must be some sort of monster that eats minds or something around here. This whole countryside is full of bizarre magical shit. ...Oh, wait, you want to live here? Well only Elven refugees can stay here permanently without special Council permission. But I tell you what. Here, let me give you the cash I would give to an Elf. A thousand Councils. That should get you back on your feet, if you're a careful spender!

'''Thanks! What should I do now?'''

::Maybe you can find a place to stay around here for a while, or you can head off to Eltibule Keep. I know they're trying to make that old castle into an outpost. Might be able to find use for you there.

'''Thanks. Goodbye for now.'''
}}

== Trivia ==

Nelson gives the player 1,000 councils the first time you introduce yourself through his dialogue.

[[Velkort]] lives in a house in [[Serbule]], and he is found walking around near the well. He is easily noticed as there is usually a Sentient Flame creature nearby (possibly one of his creations, neato!). Speak with him, and he may share the secrets of [[Fire Magic]].

[[Velkort]] seems to harbor feelings for [[Blanche]].
