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.

[ She's not at all surprised by that at this point and, really, there's nothing wrong with that either. She's perfectly content with just sitting and people watching herself, especially in a new place. Got to get a good feel for the area.

But he's opening up and considering how he'd looked when she ran into him, it seems like a huge step. ]

Hey, if there's no one we want to talk to we can just make bets on the locals who like arm-wrestling. Or have you considered entering?

[ Oh, he'd definitely give any and all credit regarding him opening up to Himeka. Never him. He isn't the kind of guy who takes his own steps forwards so much as observes what a person better than him does, and attempt to copy them.

There are usually mixed results. Why wouldn't there be? But as far as stakes go, these are pretty low.

He's happy, the accompanying warmth in his expression, his voice. It's almost enough to make him forget about his uncertainty in being in a land like this. Almost. ]

I'm not so bad at that. [ A lifetime of fighting, of manual labour. He's pretty much always been the strongest guy on any ship he's ever crewed up with. Definitely familiar with the concept. ] Who knows, might be a way to make a bit of money. Though you might be more of the ringer type.

[ Himeka pumps her fist in excitement. Yes, she's taken her part in these contests but truth be told she is a mage and a caster, not a physical fighter. (That doesn't stop her from trying, of course. She enjoys the contest as much as anything else.) ]

Well then, I think we have an evening planned out for us, Amos.

[ Yes, she's decided as she picks up her step towards their next delivery. ]

First, we'll drink and eat to build up some stamina, and then we'll see who is foolish enough here in Solvunn to take us on in hand-to-hand combat!

[ That's...that's not what it is, but that's okay. A night not worrying about the larger implications of their stay to just spend time with a friend is really what you need sometimes. ]
