Karola straightened proudly at the mention of Karnnath.  She didn't seem to agree that it was best to have missed the war, but didn't object.  Everyone could see the devastation the war brought, and greater-reaching effects were still to be seen now, a few years later.<br/><br/>The two women looked at one another.  "No..." began Tora, "You are right, it is too far by any measure between the Reaches and Karnnath.  We simply met here on the train, just as you have."<br/><br/>"I don't think most would be comfortable around a half-orc forestfolk," smiled Karola, "but in the academy, we learned a lot about the other nations, and even a little about the Eldeen Reaches, so I thought I'd ask Tora here about more herself.  She says they have many different sects of druids!"  Her hand reached slightly on the table to rest on the half-orc's.<br/><br/>"It is true.  Most do not understand druids and rangers even basically, let alone the differences among ourselves.  It is good to help others understand.  I am part of the Greensingers, those in touch with the spirits of the forest, who not only protect it, but celebrate its life, music, and beauty.  I was just telling Karola that I'd be happy to discuss it more in my cabin over some wine, if you'd care to join us?"
