Findel nods at Garam’s question, not really knowing the answer, but provides what he can.
”Count Rhackorn should not move against you, though he’s picked neither side of the debate. I think he’s of two minds, for when confronted on this issue he had both positive and negative to say… either that, or he does not want to isolate some of his followers since both factions are known to be in his ‘camp’. Once more, I emphasize, I do not think he will hinder you personally. His city-state is in the first stages of development, so is open to all, as long as they are willing to live under his rule and ideals. Besides, you’ll be just within the borders, and may not even see any evidence of his occupation. No, the chances of him opposing you are very slim. Just be aware that his men may or may not be aware of his views in certain matters and act on their own accord, if you happen to meet any.”
Findel then points out, some distance to the south of the dwarven fortress, a dot marked Rhackorn, about 5 leagues away.
”That’s the main settlement, and where his castle is almost complete. To further set your mind at ease, the people know that there is a planned expedition to search for the lost races, but does not know how, when or where it’s being conducted. As far as I know, Lord Rhackorn’s knowledge is no greater, except that a lead had been found already. That information IS secret, so for your own sakes, please show some discretion. Oh, and it’s also believed that Rhackorn does not know of the ruins, themselves.”
Findel had included more information, trying to anticipate their questions, but was ready to receive more, if need be.
