For Joshua Still, Skills were the lifeblood of his business. He wanted to understand them, collect many of them, and teach a few — which was a problem, because his profession of Skill Trainer was perfectly legal but deeply frowned upon. After all, it wouldn't do for a non-tailor to teach Tailoring, according to every Guild with enough money and clout to complain. Still, Skill Trainers provide a valuable service, and Joshua has managed to keep his research and training practice quietly under the table, aided by many a bribe. But his quiet, anonymous life is about to change — when the Baron demands you pay him a visit, you have little choice.
