"All is quiet here," says the high priest at the temple of Tyr. "The giants are acting up in the lands to the east, though."
"Honored one, are the giants a threat to our fair temple or shall there be greater glories for Thor?" Al asks, eager to interupt the boring deatils of maintaining a castle.
"No threat...yet," says the high priest. "But travel over the mountains into the east lands is becoming very dangerous. Last summer we had a great ranger lord visit us, and he promised to make the lands safe again. His name was Jo-owrn. He has not been here for many months, and travel is still dangerous."
The cleric pauses.
"Several of my young disciples set out for Ar'razam a month or two back. I hope they made it safely."
