Ameiko preened, showing off her new accessory to the other girls.<br/><br/>Shalelu nodded approvingly, while Sandra threw an overly friendly arm over Yazhu's shoulder. "Aww, you didn't get one for lil' ol' me?" she joked.<br/><br/>They picked up Baihu at the blacksmith's, the foxgirl snoring contently even through the ruckus of Sarrelton hammering... his anvil, hard at work on getting their orders finished by the next morning.<br/><br/>Then it was time for bed, as they had an early start tomorrow!<br/><br/><hr/><br/><div align="center"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;">To Brinewall</span></div><br/>The next morning dawned as clear and bright as their hearts. The girls collected their new equipment, and made a final check of their wagons' stock, and then they were off!<br/><br/>According to Ameiko, the journey to Brinewall would take the caravan from Sandpoint up along the Lost Coast Road, passing through the villages of Galduria and Wolf’s Ear, and then cutting through or going around the Churlwood to reach the northern town of Roderic’s Cove. From there it would be a short distance to Riddleport, then winding up into the Velashu Uplands, following the river northwest to a low pass in the mountains and then due north into the Nolands and, eventually, to Brinewall.<br/><br/>The Lost Coast Road was reasonably well traveled and maintained, and they made it to Galduria in good time. The town on the western shore of Ember Lake was well-off thanks to the trade of grain and lumber across the lake and along the Lampblack River. Its true claim to fame was its arcane college, the Twilight Academy. Recently established, it rivaled the larger colleges in Varisia, the Stone of the Seers in Magnimar, and Korvosa's Acadamae. The college was founded in Galduria specifically to avoid the political pressure and intrigues of those two cities.<br/><br/>"Perhaps we should take a bit of time to visit the Twilight Acadmy-" Ameiko began, but was interrupted.<br/><br/>"No, it's all boring old men and dusty tomes in there!" Baihu protested.<br/><br/><hr/><br/><em>Visit the Twilight Academy?
