The burly courier looks at her for a long moment before answering "Its a 
dangerous thing asking a messenger what his business is. The more I tell 
you the more dangerous it gets. Perhaps there is not too much peril in 
me saying that we are sent to avert a particularly nasty and 
far-reaching war and that to do so we have been told to travel to the 
Blue Moon plateau to relay a message and perhaps to receive another one 
in return. The elf and I are somehow bound together by ties of fate and 
prophesy, her wellbeing is important to me and to many others.".

"Are there guides into these wild lands to the East, or is there news of 
the best routes and the worst perils there?"
