77 Path for the Hero

99 Most Heroes engaging with the New Camp will work through Rogue-style quests before they are given the kind of direct combat tasks the Mercenaries sign off on. That is partly because Rogue missions are a better fit for a new arrival's skill level, and partly because the Rogues are the natural entry point to meeting Saturas later in the campaign.

1414 The Rogues sit under Lares, who runs the New Camp's information network and handles introductions to Saturas and the Water Mages. They sit alongside the Mercenaries rather than beneath them: where Mercenaries handle direct combat work for the camp under Lee, Rogues handle the rest.

2121  
2222 Most New Camp Heroes work through Rogue-style quests before they are given the kind of direct combat tasks the Mercenaries sign off on. The Rogues are a better fit for a new arrival's skill level, and they are the natural entry point to the New Camp's leadership: their work loops through Lares, who then introduces the Hero to Saturas. From the Water Circle, the Hero gains access to the highest magical training the New Camp can offer.

2525 In the Nyras Prologue Demo
2626  
2727 The Nyras Prologue treats Ratford as the demo's Rogue figure, working out of the Exchange Zone rather than the New Camp proper. Ratford's quest line in the demo (the missing-partner Jorik thread) is built around the kind of investigation work that defines the Rogues' role: tracking a missing person, sending the player to scout an abandoned area, and closing the loop with information rather than a direct kill order. See Nyras Prologue Demo for the demo context.
