[Lord Dagoth is courteous in his observations. Liem aims a brief, sidelong glance at him, unused to this particular line of questioning, which touches so baldly on his own needs without being hostile or disapproving. It’s an experience he’s still had only a handful of times since leaving his home country, private as he’s used to being about his own life.]

It depends how much time I wish to spend out of doors, of course, but it is not generally fatiguing. The magic lasts well over an hour, and it costs me little to cast.

And admittedly, although I prefer the dark, I don’t know if I could have continued to dwell in Highstorm this late in the year. I do not know if you have been there yet, but the city has grown colder in the last few weeks than any place I’ve ever been in before. [He gives a small shake of his head, almost a shudder.] It is bitter to contend with. I do not recommend it, if you are unused to freezing climates.

[Actually it’s like five below and covered in fluffy snow most of the time. Liem is just a baby about the cold.]

But even were that not the case… It would be difficult for one attuned to Meridian to live there. I would need to return here to pursue any work with my cohorts regardless, and spending so much time in Lady Yima’s city would cause me to suffer the effects of Discord after not too long.
