4th of Fall, 514 AV Cantillion rode in with a small, happy group. The caravan that had taken him this far, and given him a decent change of clothes, had decided to press on past Syliras once they heard news of increased inspections among the carriages coming into the city. Only one of their carriages stayed on course to Syliras, presumably carrying their legitimate goods. Despite their shady business choices, they had taken him this far, and assured him he would have nothing to fear from slavers once he was within those massive castle walls. And what walls they were. He had never seen anything like them; the dilapidated ruins of Castle Xy couldn't hope to hold a candle to Stormhold Castle. As the carriage slowed to a halt, and the guards removed everyone from the carriage for an in-depth search of their inventory, Cantillion couldn't help but look over his shoulder. The object of his fear was nowhere to be found, though that didn't necessarily mean he wasn't being hunted. A quick search of the small pack he carried soon followed, but he wasn't phased. He had nothing to hide from these people. At last, they were allowed to bring the carriage into the safety of Syliras' walls. He trusted his temporary comrades when they said they could find him a place to stay, if only for a short while. They encouraged him to reconsider their offer to stay on with the caravan, but Cantillion quickly shook his head. This city would provide the safe haven he required; a safety that life along the road could never bring. He would do whatever he had to do to stay here, safe and sound. |
