1.9 - Thedeor Fields

As Anneleigh stands at the strongholds gate, she hears the call of a Mathosian courier.  “Brother Jebiah reports that Ardenburgh is holding, but they will not survive the onslaught forever.”

A tall man, taller in fact than any man she had ever seen – and that says a lot, when you’re an elf, at the center of the hold nods in his direction, and he understands his message has been delivered.   She passes him, slumped on a bed roll, as she approaches the man.

The blade glows for a moment in her hand, then becomes silent and still once more. 

“So do I just...” Anneleigh begins, but stammers off as the Messenger of the Vigil fades from her sight.

1.4 - The Shrine

The crowd around the high priestess begins to disperse, those present leaving alone or in small groups to attend to the destruction of the machinery.  Anneleigh turns to leave as well when she is called back.

“Anneleigh,” Shyla calls, “We must begin severing Regulos's hold on this land. In Silverwood, we High Elves grew wooden walls to keep evil at bay. There is scant wood in these lands, but Borrin has forged an elven dagger from the sourcestone-imbued steel you recovered.  If you can solicit Tavril, goddess of the land, to bless it, the spirits of the forest will empower you to cleanse this town.”
