We have left the forest behind and the foothills of the mountain of our friends the dwarves. Ahead the rolling hills diminish in the distance like the waves of the ocean when they reach the shore. The sight is a challenging one for Dunfallon, for he knows his ruined home lies there.
I believe this has slowed him considerably. It’s almost as though his mount has picked up his mood and has added its reluctance to his.
