"Those that matter call me Moglav. Well met!"

Moglav gives Andvari a firm clap on the back.

A hooded figure slips into the tavern and finds its way to a lonely seat at the back, in the shadows away from the fire. The figure begins drinking from a bottle of ale it had brought in with it.

The room crackled as the fire spat softly at the surrounding folk. A frail man, Moglav and Andvari were reading over the map and plotting a course as well as considering supplies for their trip.
A hunter snoozed against his seat, surrounded by empty vessels of ale.

OOC: I'm working on the map. I'm increasingly feeling that the Great Western Jungles are going to have to be deciduous but impassable "cold jungle" or deepwoods rather than a rainforest, or the map looks weird. Other than that, it's going OK!

Moglav wipes the ale froth from his beard before giving Andvari a warm grin and offering the same hand.

Thankyou! It was nice to get something like this to work on, too long since I've done fun universe-design stuff :)

(The inn, by the way, should be about halfway between Sieph and Taski in the southwest.)

You can if you want, but I don't think it'll be hard to remember where we are. I didn't include it as a landmark because including just one specific tavern on a map covering several kingdoms seemed like it would jar for scale.

//fair enough.

The old man eyes down the group of travelers before him and smiles gently.

I don't suppose i could offer you this map for a sum of coin? I've done enough travelling for a life-time anyway, and am looking to settle down at the moment. This place seems as good as any.

Andvari eyes it up.

"What say you, Moglav? It is well inscribed, and I should like to travel to the Central Kingdoms, if you or anyone else wishes to accompany me. Tunnels could bring us from my home near T'vik through to Ethil, or we could visit the Stones of Guldan and then head for Yentis."

Moglav grins warmly and hands over a small purse of coin, making the old man return the cheery expression.

Th-this is most generous of you! I shan't forget it!

The small man yawns and bids you all good tidings before heading off to his room. Shortly after the inn-keep, who stayed up to clean up the mess made by his customers called out to you.

If you're looking to travel that way, strangers, you'd best be well equipped or have a pretty good escort. I've heard that road is getting more dangerous these days.

Actually, i happen to know an old friend who does black-smithing in a nearby village, he might help you out. The village sits in the woodlands to the north, it shouldn't be far.

The inn-keeper locks up the main door and moves off to his chambers as well, leaving the remaining group huddled around the fire, bestowed with the mixed feelings of anticipation in the long adventure that awaits them.
