<span style="font-family: 'Georgia'">The dark-haired Elf woke up in a better mood because today was the day they leave the Shadowfang Clan. First impressions were terrible here, or perhaps they just came along at a bad timing judging by the ceremony yesterday. But she already didn't care anymore. She got out of bed, gathered her things which was her </span><a class="link link--external" href="https://nl.pinterest.com/pin/382946774565978186/?nic=1" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'">outfit</span></a><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'"> with a broad belt that held her rapier, the paperwork from the Black Sovereign, and a waterskin. After she was done braiding her hair she looked to the still sleeping form of Marek. She stood up and slapped him on the leg, <span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(147, 101, 184)">"Hey, wake up! It's time to move."</span> she said in a soft voice.<br/>
<br/>
She waited for Marek to ready himself and suggested, <span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(147, 101, 184)">"We should grab some breakfast while we're still here. We're supposed to meet the others at the southern entrance."</span><br/>
<br/>
Meeting up with Elri and Shadow, which they now found out through Elri was named Jynx, Sybille greeted both women with a friendly nod and wave. Accepting one of the horses from the other Clan members that had escorted the creatures. Hers was a white one, and that's all she or her Creator knew of horses... The Clan leader joined them just as Sybille climbed on the horse. She returned the nod as the leader wished them well, and with that they went on their way.<br/>

Crossing the border between Lastwall and Nirmathas proved to be more difficult than they thought, even with the paperwork and seals presented. The crew found out the hard way that the nation of Nirmathas was not a fan of governments. In fact, the nation's idea for organisation was localized. Each village or town, and even the capital had their own governing authorities to represent them. Which means that every one has their own way of enforcing peace or getting justice, or handing out punishments. The crew will have to be extra careful here.<br/>
<br/>
When Jynx questioned which direction they should take, Sybille answered, <span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(147, 101, 184)">"We'll take a rest at Skelt which is another day or two depending if we push our...mounts."</span> She said, not really sure how to call the collection of Horses and Giant Cats the size of a horse. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(147, 101, 184)">"We should let our animals rest there before we continue through the Bloodsworn Vale. They reopened the trade route there, even got their own patrol there at Fort Thorn. We'll go through the mountains there to Korvosa."</span> But then she added, as they calmly trotted across the grassy plains, <span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(147, 101, 184)">"We can use a ship to Asir. Should give us some more rest during transport, because once we're in Rahadoum it's not going to be easy..."</span><br/>
<br/>
They eventually arrived in </span><a class="link link--external" href="https://nl.pinterest.com/pin/382946774566055594/?nic=1" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'">Skelt</span></a><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'">. Skelt was an impressive city to behold, it was resting atop a cliff right next to where the Tourondel River cascading into a large waterfall. The city itself is only accessible by two ways; either by water-powered lifts that pulled you up towards the city, or by the ramps and drawbridges that covered the gaps between the cliffs. They figured it might be less stressful for the animals if they choose the latter option, the ramps. Looking down where the land drops down a river the crew could see a few lumber mills and mines dotting the riversides, there were even logs floating down the river.<br/>
<br/>
The first thing Sybille said as they put the animals away in the stables was, <span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(147, 101, 184)">"We should find an Inn or something,...preferably where one can have a bath."</span> she almost squealed at the thought of it. In the end they decided on a Tavern that also served as an Inn called 'The Good Stone'. It was a decent enough place but it was clear it accommodated a more rougher clientele, particularly miners. So it was no surprise that the adventuring crew had to pay extra. But Sybille came from money so she offered to chip in for anyone else who struggled to meet the cost.</span>
