"We have contacts. There are three towns for you to visit; Cedate,
Amgine, and Fiddyek. You will find three members of the White Moon Cult.
Peona, of the Seven Mothers Temple at Cedate, a merchant by trade. She
will be able to find a merchant traveller to take to the next town.
Tepyd at Amgine, a captain of the militia. He can arrange an escort. And
at Fiddyek, Inuin. The best explorer. Some say he has no fear of the mad
lands to Tork, and for obvious reasons".
She hands Aalmon three scrolls. "Take these to each of them. You are a
messenger, and you'll be doing a great duty to our.. Society."

Almost without a thought he tucks the scrolls away in his leather
satchel. He pauses for a moment "I will need to speak with Icthya
before I can agree to any course of action, she is my companion not a
parcel that I am delivering. I think she will be content enough to let
me help you if in return she has help in finding a forest to restore
her spirits."<br>
<br>
He takes his leave and finds the wilting elf "I think I have good news
for you, there is a forest to the East of here where elves live and I
can find a guide to help us get there. In return I have to perform my
professional duties of delivering messages."<br>
<br>
"The people I am dealing with are in some ways like-minded to us, they
are pacifists by nature and oppose the wars and destruction that the
empire uses." He rubs his unshaven chin thoughtfully "The thing is they
did not escape the imperial oppression when my ancestors did and living
under the iron-shod sandal of the military and the cloying control of
the nobility has had an odd effect on some of them. A few of them can
be pretty weird. Weirder than me, much weirder. What I am trying to say
is that while I think they are friends some of them are odd enough that
we should expect the unexpected."<br>
