If you do decide to send Fior to Paradis, they will relocate near the gates of the city. You can return there and talk to the governor to receive 500 gold and some extra dialogue. You'll learn that the citizens of Fior are doing fairly well under the circumstances, as the Steel Garrote has no idea they're right under their noses. Ultimately, though, it's up to you where to send Fior mes Iverno. If you want some gravity to your decisions later on in Avowed, send them to Thirdborn. However, if your priority is their overall well-being, have them go to Paradis. The post Should you move to Thirdborn or Paradis in Avowed? appeared first on Destructoid.
