Lets not look too closely at that map. There are a few maps of Lodoss around, and not all of them are in complete agreement, one of the biggest differences perhaps being the forest in the middle of the central mountains which is on some maps, but not all. We'll make the details up as we go along.<br/><br/>The journey from Novice to Addan takes about a week.<br/><br/>You will all meet up near the south end of the mountain passes, close to the Valis border. That's close enough to Valis for Marcus to be part of a military patrol into the mountains. While strictly speaking that's beyond the jurisdiction of Valis, some forrays into the mountains from the nearest border fortress make sene, in my opinion.<br/><br/>Addan isn't just at the end of the passes through the mountains, it's also on the old trade route that led from Valis to Kanon, before the Marmo invasion. It's a good place to hear the latest rumors about the situation in Kanon and perhaps meet some old acquaintances who feld to Vali9s when Kanon fell. That might be enough motivation for Lynna and/or Donwik to occassionally visit the area.<br/><br/>So either Lynna and Dorwik are travelling to Addan from the North as well, like Mila and Anlaf, or perhaps Lynna currently works for the military and is part of the same patrol Marcus might be with. If we go with the latter we can say that her 22 coin are actually her salary for that work.
