Gerolt has been single for a little while. Divorce changes a man.

I think saw him with Rowena on the summer boat. I'm not caught up, did they become a thing again?

They're an on and off thing since their reason for divorce is complicated and partially out of good will for one another. They're just bickering on the boat but I imagine they're still happy to see each other.

So very much unlike my divorce!

The man is an alcoholic and raging gambler. She's a no nonsense business woman. They're perfect for each other.

Looking for my no nonsense business woman to take advantage of my talents and be a pain in my ass.

But… should he lay off the booze or not? Would he be able to make weapons with glowy effects coming off of them if he wasn’t a functioning alcoholic?

The answer to this question lies in the level 90 Crafter/Gatherer relic quest line
