'''Zethino''' is a dryad at the [[Circus of the Last Days]]. For a fee, she will offer a test to determine if the love between the player character and a romanced party member will 'stand the test of time.'

The dryad also serves as a vendor of alchemical ingredients, but only the first time she is spoken to by a party member.

Zethino is one of [[Orin|Orin's]] possible disguises. The real Zethino can only be encountered if Orin has already been discovered twice.__TOC__

== Zethino's test of love ==

Picking two or more 'incorrect' answers will result in a more negative comment from the character you did the love test with, while picking two or more 'correct' answers will result in a more positive interaction. 

Completing Zethino's test earns the [[Inspiration|Inspirational Event]] '''A Test of Faithfulness''' ([[Acolyte]] background) and '''Knowledge of the Heart''' ([[Sage]] background).

Below are the recorded answers for each applicable [[companion]]. Note that some companions will disapprove of certain correct answers. Correct answers have been marked with a ★ symbol.
