> *Pulled from* [[3-Travels-in-Calradia-(DLC)]] — “Istiana's agent in Baltakhand, Agandios, the former cataphract... I hesitate to speak ill of a man who hosted me, and indeed he was a decent host. But I felt obliged to tell Istiana that I thought he was unreliable, filled with anger. He drank a great deal, and since he insisted on imported Imperial wine, rather than the fermented milk that is the common drink of these parts, he must have been spending some dozen denars a week. He told me of how he was expelled from the Imperial service. It was a muddled account, but it seemed to me that Agandios was sent to parley with some Battanian chieftain to negotiate an end to a border feud, and, seeing as this chieftain had treacherously slain some of his comrades in the past, Agandios ambushed and killed him in turn. The senator (Senate) was ready to hand Agandios over to the Battanians (High-Kingdom-of-Battania) to be flayed alive as the price of peace, but Agandios was warned by sympathizers and fled into exile. That was some years ago, and he has since gone to seed. Apart from what Istiana pays him, I think he makes his living fighting at the arena on the off-days, where the merchants throw him a few denars to be trounced by the local Khuzait-Khanate champions so they can sell watered-down drinks to an undiscriminating morning audience. I doubt he is in shape to participate in any actual tournaments, and he did not mention them.”
