So the miles passed and the leagues passed behind her
Traveling onward she passed by the bear-peak
Furthest of all of her family she travelled
Deep into Tarsh that the Lunars had taken
Hope in her heart that she one day would see it
Free as the Tarsh that was held by the mountains
Down by the Temple of Shaker Priestesses
Place of the blood-spill that led to all slayings
What Really Happened
After accepting rewards from T’Dwarf, which in Berra’s case was merely asking for Koraki to be allowed to hide his people in Dwarf Mine if necessary, the group went onward into Lunar Tarsh.
They met with Fazzur briefly, and Mirava for rather longer. Berra was rude to Mirava, explaining to Maalira that Mirava needed someone to feel superior. After the meeting, some of the group went off to get Irillo a passport, and the others – those who might cause trouble – were sent back to the inn. Berra played knucklebones and drank wine with Koraki, and checked on how the others were.
Irillo did some trading, and some reporting to the group – Berra took note of what he said about grain futures.
