Viing seems to be another unrecognized Canthan Poet. He is more of the epic kind, though. You'll first meet him near Officer Chitaro. He will then stroll erratically in the Bazaar, declaiming verses.

• Kaineng City
  • Wajjun Bazaar

[edit] Dialogue

"Cantha will make it through any difficulty so long as the emperor is alive."

"Fruit can be hard to come by these days now that the plague has slowed trade coming from Kryta."

"The docks are so empty these days. People are afraid to come to Cantha."

"The emperor cares greatly for all of us who have suffered beacause of the plague."

"The guards try to keep order but there are fewer of them each day."

"The local guilds are taking over the streets. Most have bought off the Ministry and do as they please."

"The Luxon [sic] and Kurzicks have been quarreling for so long, I think they've probably forgotten why they started fighting to begin with."

"The Ministry of fire [sic] never seems incapable of understanding the plight of the common people."

"The Obsidian Flame help keep the rogue guilds in check."

"Those Am Fah thugs are frightening!"

[edit] Quotes

When he stops by Officer Chitaro, he recites this poem:

   "High atop the Stone Summit, 
   People saw great Rurik plummet. 
   Buried there beneath the snow 
   "Hurry people, to Kryta. Go!" 

   One swift chop, one swift blow 
   Ascalon's leader was no more 
   Left behind but not forgotten 
   Rurik's soul remains a sign 
   Of everything they left behind." 

He recites the following after walking down the stairs towards Captain Joran:

   "Nevermore to grow again 
   Seeds misplaced by foolish men. 
   Leaves preserved the Shape of Heart. 
   Have forever played their part. 

   Where have all the Heart Trees gone, 
   Spread their ashes all around 
   Once a treasure of our land 
   Protected travelers in their hand. 

   The fruit of hearts bloomed in the sun 
   Their flowers loved by all and one. 
   The Heart Tree now, preserved as story 
   For future generations myth and glory."
