On the north gate the sentries watch the darkening skies and see a small troop of riders rapidly approaching along the Queensway. As they close upon the gate a mute standard is raised allowing them to pass without challenge. The group slows as they approach Castle Bastion, the rider in the centre turns to one of the others: “Go rouse a company and find a captain with sea legs, we will need good heads and strong arms before long, make haste to the docks when they have prepared for travel. I’m going to find us a ship”
Without further word the riders part ways.

“I require passage across the sea, and I understand that there are certain...“ he smiled wryly “allied folk with the means of doing so”
