The giant pauses as your words sink in. "Reaches? Can't say I be familiar with that -- bet that be on that other land, i supposes."
"Giants making death? Well, that they do all the time, its in their blood."
He furrows his brow a bit.
"Can't say I know anything 'bout invisible fellers. I be in town usually tah sell me goods and ta keep the peace with the Stormlords and the others." He says, looking down at his laden basket.

"Many thanks, brother -- the Shadow richly rewards those that are not blinded by the light."
He turns and looks past the halfork, towards the doorway.
"Hold, child, the shadow sees all, so there is no reason to hide."
The man gestures and utters a prayer to his god and Ipshivi is outlined briefly with magical energies, which strip away some of her magicks, causing her to become visible to normal eyes.

He looks at the now visible Ipshivi and asks,"Now, child, what can the Shadow do for you today?"

Nardon disappears momentarily, then reappears minutes later bearing a load of journals and records.
"Now, let us delve deeply into these papers, shall we?" He says with a grin.
OOC: He tells you about the normal denizens of the interior of Xen'drik - first, starting with the drow. They are a nomadic society that has become adept at jungle tactics and warfare. They can be deadly opponents when encountered in their home turf.
After the drow, you have the giants -- all kinds can be found, hill, fire, frost, stone, storm, cloud, along with what appears to be an offshoot of the ancient titans, the jungle giant. The jungle giant however, is mostly peaceful and seeks to protect its jungle. Most giants are still living in a primitive society.
One interesting creature found in Xendrik is the scorrow -- half drow, half scorpion, but it breeds true -- these are fearsome hunters.
Dream serpents are prized for their fangs and skins, from which armor and weapons are fashioned.
House Tharashk has also encountered all sorts of variations of animals that have adapted a particular environment on Xen'drik, but are similar to normal counterparts on Khorvaire, like the humpbacked desert lion, web-footed tiger, or stone-hide python.

You set out for House Lyrander, which you were told was in the ward east of the Tharashk Enclave.
Walking through the bustling city, you push past crowds gathered in front of street performers and merchants. Along the street, you notice carts filled with wondrous fruits and vegetables, the likes of which you have never seen. Various rattan pots also contain wonders of the mysterious continent.
You enter the new ward and hear a commotion coming from your left, screams of terror interlaced with shouts for people to remain calm.
Your curiousity piqued, you wander over towards the gathering crowd.
You are able to get closer to the source of the issue, and notice a body slumped against the back wall of a ramshackle looking building, who is surrounded now by several uniformed men, that look to be some type of city watch.
Upon closer examination, you are fully able to realize why people were shrieking and screaming -- the head has a large hole in it -- and is missing its brain.
You catch yourself starting to shiver, then are unable to control the fear, as you recognize that the dead man was -- Barrak.
