Merciful Andraste. I cannot imagine why anyone would choose to drink something un-gentle. For the taste, perhaps? Anything flavored with wormwood cannot be tasteful. For the money? It is your friend's profession, as you say. Though what profession that would be is quite beyond me.

But you are correct. Names are given out based on one's taste. The more names one commands, the better one's taste is. In Orlais, at least. I am, as we would say, accredited with names.
