Quests
Soran is a merchant and business owner found at the tavern in the Village, during the afternoon and evening. He is the first character you can play Blackjack with.

Transporting goods
After learning Water magic and Fire magic from Ivy, Soran will have a new dialogue option. He needs our help in transporting some goods. We will be doing this quest with Kivir. At some point you get jumped by bandits. Kivir is hurt and you remain. Choose to use the Water spell and then choose Bluff. This will keep the goods undamaged, while scaring off the bandits. You return to Soran with Kivir still alive. The Brothel will now be unlocked

Buying the Brothel
Visit the brothel after doing Soran's transport mission with Kivir. We meet Luna for the first time. We learn she is the brothel owner, but not the only owner. Soran also owns the brothel but has left it in a state of disrepair. The protagonist can help her by visiting Soran to see if we can buy Soran's share. He will gladly sell us his ownership for 1200G. Afterwards, visit Luna and give her the news

Janet's Boxes
We'll need to talk to Soran about cancelling her deal.

Karos
At some point, he will introduce the protagonist to Karos. Karos will eventually share a profitable idea about mining gems. This will unlock the minigame Karos' Defence

Soran's Safeguard
At some point Scarlet reveals that she will miss being here, because inevitably the Baroness will find them and they'll be forced to flee. To help them find a safer way out, we need to ask Soran for a favor. He'll do it, but not for free. He's price is 1 Diamond.

We can get Diamonds and Diamond fragments from Karos' Defense. Beating the final boss on wave 30 will give us a Diamond. We can also craft a Diamond using Diamond fragments via the Alchemy recipe: no base ingredient + Diamond fragment x3. When we visit Soran again and give him the diamond, he will give us an item called Soran's Safeguard, pledging his aid in getting Scarlet and Ivy out of Aurelia if requested.
