Dialogue

 * "Hello there! You know, as a traveling merchant, I not only barter with found items, but I also craft quite a bit of what I sell, which is what brings me out here on this fine day. One of my crafts is fashioning various writing implements such as quills and brushes. I have a client who obsessively procures brushes from all over Tyria, fanatically seeking the softest brush in existence. He has sent me to ascertain if rumors about the silkiness of local centaur hairs is true, and to make him a full array of brushes from the stuff. As you can guess, convincing a centaur to part with his precious mane is a little tricky, and I need at least 3 manes worth of hairs! I've tried reasoning with them, but for once, my bartering skills seem to fail me. I'd gladly trade for them, so if you are interested in my wares and find a way to convince these centaurs to part with their hair, consider this a work order for 3 Modniir Manes, and good luck to you!"

Trivia

 * Nicholas's name is probably a reference to the gift-giving Saint Nicholas.
 * Nicholas always travels with his trusty partner, Professor Yakkington.
 * According to John Hargrove, Nicholas' "...list of possible haunts at launch was 137, and given 1 a week, that's 137 weeks (or ~2.6 years) of Nicholas' travels before he even considers going to the same place twice." It is yet unknown if this list will be extended. (source)
 * Week 137 will begin on November 28th, 2011. If no additional locations are added before then, and Nicholas is allowed to restart his cycle, his first repeat visit will be on December 5th, 2011.
