In reality, the "capital" of your once proud nation... the nation that you lost... is really just a town, and not a particularly well built one at that. It's gotten better over the last two years, but its a far cry from grandeur and dignity of Metrol. Wracked by guilt for the lives lost in the century long conflict, King Boranel of Breland took in the few survivors of the day of the Mourning, and granted them land. Brelish land, subject to Brelish laws and Brelish taxes, but land none the less. You hold one of those charters in you hands, a deed to explore the abandoned lands of the East and rid them of bandits. The tact agreement being that this could turn into a settling charter some day. Of course, there was price to this. The Brelanders want the Cyrans to clear out the Bandits who have take root there, and no one is under any illusions  to the fact that the Cyrans would be surrouned on three sides. Thrane to the North, Darguun to the South and Old Cyre to the East.<br/><br/>The Mournlands they call it. A wasteland. How can a nation have corpse? Cyre does. A rotting wound in the skin of Eberron herself. What would the great dragon think if she were to awaken and see what her children have done to her body?<br/><br/>You have to split up with the Orien you've been travelling with for the past three days and make the last traverse on your own. You are making your way toward a trader's shop, Oleg's Trading Post. This Oleg is an employee of Cannith's Fabricators Guild, and used his connections to have he and his wife Svetlana transferred here from their native Karrnath as soon as a ceasefire was called. He took a charter to rebuild an abandoned Brelish fort in the trading post. Now its time for you to expand upon his work.<br/><br/>********<br/><br/>The trading post sure looks like a fort once it comes into view. You can see pennants flying from the log staves, one with the Black Anvil of House Cannith, the other with the bear of Breland on a blue field. You can see some catapults on the corners of the Trading Post's log wall, but it doesn't look like they are in working condition. The Morning air is crisp as you approach the closed wooden gate, but being so far south, its unlikely this winter will be truly frigid.<br/><br/>
