APPROVAL GUIDE TO FOLLOWERS
DARION APPROVAL GUIDE
Darion is an easy-going sailor with a romantic streak. He enjoys a good joke, a good drink, and talking about the sea. He approves of statements that reflect his own opinions. He is also impressed by demonstrations of power. To win approval, it is best to take a joking path, and avoid pessimistic or unkind responses. His disapproves of outright murder, and therefore dislikes the Dark Brotherhood.

Any responsethat favors the Stormcloaks will lose approval, while responses that favor Imperials win favor. She strives touphold a Knight's code of honor; therefore responses that reflect those values will win favor, while selfish or unkind ones will lose approval.
