WELCOME TO SOLVUNN!

WELCOME TO SOLVUNN!

Welcome to Solvunn! Bright suns and merriest of welcomes to you! The portal opens in a vast field on the western side of town surrounded by cattle, with a distant view of the bustling marketplace. The first impression of the settlement is one of idylic, country charm. There are no looming structures or crowded streets. Instead, there are cozier houses on wide streets and community buildings made of stone and wood. A gentle breeze rolls across the field and the sun is high in the sky.

There's not as much magic here as in other locations, but it's there. No one will be stopped from entering Solvunn, though suspicion will be cast upon new arrivals. Citizens will be friendly and welcoming, but curious about their new visitors. It isn't often that they welcome new folks- especially not so many at once!

With tensions between the other communities, Solvunn will not be keen on ratting out those who fled Thorne, but with the knowledge that sanctuary will not be given for free. Everyone does their part, whatever that part may be.

Asking questions will result in being told to find Rowan March, one of the council members, somewhere in the marketplace.

The source of the gods...

[ Link repeats those words in a hushed tone, a little dumbstruck. He'd known, instinctively, that there must be some link between the Goddess and this place. There was no other explanation for how or why he could have arrived here.

The notion is easy for him to accept. And when put that way, the notion that the Thorneans would want to control the Singularity suddenly feels patently wrong.

He frowns slightly. He has to admit, he hasn't spent much time thinking on the power of the Singularity with any sort of mind, clear or otherwise. ]

I searched for my Goddess in prayer, but she doesn't speak to me as she did before. I've been looking in the wrong place.

[Estinien's impressions are far from fact in this case, but they are rooted in his own personal experiences with gods. The gods of his world seemingly came after the beginning of the world, if they were not created whole cloth from the will of their people. Naturally, he imagines it'll be the same here - gods created by the power of the Singularity, and not vice versa.

In that sense, he wonder if they were not simply created by beings that had managed to harness the thing to its full potential.]

Mayhap so. We are far from home, after all.

[He lets the bowl rest in his lap, already having finished most of what Link gave him. Definitely preferable to finding a local business.]

I feel as if... if we are to find a way back to whence we came, 'twill be through the Singularity's power. Mayhap, someday, she will once again hear your calls.

[He smiles slightly, shrugging a shoulder. It's brief, as his expression falls back to neutral only moment later.]

As it is, I would focus on quieting my mind, and turning my will towards the Singularity. 'Tis much like praying, now that you mention it.

[Except Estinien actually got a response with this one.]

[ For a brief moment, Link's eyes close while worry niggles at his thoughts. He does sincerely hopes he hears Hylia again. The longer Princess Zelda waits for him, the greater her suffering.

He'll grasp at any straw, at this point. ]

I think... this 'Horizon' will bring me closer than I have been.

[ He looks rather serious, now. He thinks he understands what Estinien is getting at. Places that one can only reach through meditation is not a foreign concept on his world. ]

And if I do that, I'll be able to go there?

[coerthantorment]

In theory, I would hope.

[It'll be difficult if the new arrivals struggle to get a hold of this valuable resource. He contemplates it for a moment.]

I would be willing to demonstrate, if I can remain nearby for the night. I'm only visiting, and would rather not spend the coin on a room.

[He really just needs a lawn to camp on.]
