The Darkland
“Quernmore Castle was only a few more hours, but as the weather worsened, Kirk decided to seek shelter for the night. With Mara wrapped up in her worn cloak, snoring softly in his arms, he ordered his men to find shelter in a grove of oak trees.
There was a small village in the distance, the smoke from cooking fires choking the damp air.
Leaving Niles in charge of the camp, Kirk spurred his charger in the direction of the settlement.
The few merchants along the main avenue had closed shop for the night. The massive destrier plodded along the muddied street, his hooves echoing off the small homes as Kirk went in search of proper shelter for Mara.
