Re: The Road North
Krackor and Harun
Halazar raises his mug to Obar in appreciation as two bar lads refill mugs and pitchers. "Adventurers, are you? Looking to find some un-looted tomb? Well, it feeds the monsters and keeps them away from the Trade Way, so I'm all for it. Sure, I can share some clack with you."
He leans back in his chair and takes a thoughtful pull of his beer. "Well, there's the Company of the Gray Unicorn. They set out to explore the ruins of Tavaray, in the Lizard Marsh, when the snows melted. They only expected to be gone a moon, but when we came through Daggerford there wasn't any word of them. So they must have found something interesting."
"There was them rumors of drow in the Misty Forest, don't forget," a man halfway down the table put in.
Halazar shook his head. "That was just a logging coster wanting adventurers to kill elves for them so they'll stop putting arrows into the loggers. There's ruins in those woods, I know, but I wouldn't want to tangle with green elves on their own turf." He takes another sip. "But a few years ago I did hear word that someone scouting the approaches to Dragonspear stumbled onto the entrance to a dwarven ruin. They got chased out of it quickly by something that went unmentioned."
He grins at you. "Anything sound interesting?"

Lorsan leans forward, taking the book and thumbing through it. "You have a good eye for detail," he says, almost grudgingly. He taps a few pages of Delimbiyran buildings. "But you haven't seen an exemplar of this, have you? It doesn't have the layers of the elven pieces earlier."
He shakes his head. "You really are interested in this for the art of it, aren't you? I suppose as an Azuthan I should do what I can to encourage it." He turns the book to Keya and points to one of the illustrations. "What do you think, sister?"
Keya takes the book and looks. Slowly, she nods. "That looks familiar. A little. There was a ruined tower out in the moor. Leaning, poor condition. Some trolls were using it as a lair. Aduin wasn't interested in it, so we didn't explore. Not really much there, though."
