Poet Functions[]

Both personalities and news are recorded in the player character log along with the relevant date. Married ladies leave the poet's list of newsworthy maidens.
- From this courtship news, male players may issue duel challenges to lords rivaling for their ladies' affections.
- Poets also teach new players the intricacies of wooing and eventually marriage in Calradia.
- Poets teach players poems based on their specific poem set that are used during courtship. These poems cost 300 denars and map time. There are only a total of five poems.
