Thankfully, Katherine was willing to oblige his request. "Well...I wish I could, to be perfectly honest. I am aware of a good portion of our land's history, and culture, up until the Reawakening of Grima, but...beyond that, I know little more than small gossips and rumors of political trouble. My teachings were...incomplete when I left home. I wish to perhaps learn how to be a proper nobleman from the Exalt and her brother." Bowing his head gently, he returned her smile. At least she was trying. Whether or not she was interested in Valm was of little consequence. Still, he could try to offer something that he'd learned. "Actually, there are a few things I do know. Most of our people worship Naga, much like the denizens of Ylisse. The continent, as well as a small, small country that Walhart the Conqueror hailed from before his death, are named for the ancient hero Alm. Not unlike your continent, Valm is split into a number of countries. However, ours are typically much smaller than those on this side of the ocean. The country I was to take would be less than the size of Plegia. It's a nice region, with many kind people. In the wake of what's been happening, our people have decided that sticking together is our only chance of survival."
