Orders from Eril the Hero she sought then
Under the aegis of God-talker Gallem
Berra took counsel from Eril in Boldhome
Turning her face from the home that she yearned for
Back to the Temple she rode and she walked then
Guarding Irillo and willing Maalira
Going to danger to seek for Varanis
Trusting her friend as a man trusts a brother
What Really Happened
Not having found Varanis where they expected t at Alda Chur the group waited for long enough for Berra to ask Eril what to do by Divination. He told her to go back to look for her, so off they set.
On finding Varanis, Berra found out that she had decided to take the Heroquest. The Humakti lost her temper almost completely, which was only made worse by meeting Jar-eel. When Varanis decided that she did not want to do it after all, given Jar-eel’s presence, Berra stayed behind for a moment to ask Jar-eel to reconsider, to no avail.
