Ronian is a “bibliophagous” merchant found in the tower of the Valley of Death (Constantinople/Anatolia). He was present in the spore-contaminated zone alongside the colored mercenaries.

Description

“Bibliophagous” (book-eating) may mean that he consumes or absorbs books or knowledge, literally or magically. His exact role (ally, neutral or threat) is ambiguous. He may be connected to information-trading networks on the Byzantine frontier.

Open questions

  • Whether he is reliable or contaminated, given that he appears in the spore zone, is unclear.
  • His role and possible network connections are unconfirmed.
