[QUOTE="Hrothgar, post: 3572958, member: 22226"] Luthorien and Ladriel gather the group and take them to the gnarled roots of the broken oak. Luthorien speaks to Herger. [COLOR=Orange]Giant, ancient pathways created by our ancestors crisscross all of Eredane. The Old Ways we call them. Other refer to them as the Fey Crossroads. Our knowledge is such that we no longer understand them and many are lost to us. But, we know of a few that we use when in great need. They are unpredictable. Dangerous. If any situation warranted the use of the Old Ways, this is that situation.[/COLOR] Luthorien pauses, thinking her strategy.
