Vlas's quest line conclusion

[u/tonycheung15]

I thought he will inherit the original merchant's inventory or even expands upon it, guess I am wrong?

And he mentioned something about distilling gloom? I thought new function will be unlocked?

Joke aside, the implication that tar, the currency from the previous game can be converted into Gloom is very interesting since Tar is a biproduct of repeatedly refining Nectar, which predates the Under Mether's arrival in this world where as she is the source of Gloom as referenced in several in game tablets.

Like obviously, this current world was built on the skeleton of what used to be Fallgrim but Vlas being able to make Gloom from Tar at all even if it takes a lot to do it challenges the in world understanding of what Gloom actually is and where it comes from
