[QUOTE="Argent Silvermage, post: 3651328, member: 4322"] [b]On the road to Cauldron: Glyfandar and Maavu[/b] The evening was settling in and Glyf’s curiosity was getting the better of him. Elizabeth had told the Glyf about the ‘Chisel’ but he needed to know more and the obvious person to ask was Maavu. He wheeled his phantom steed up to the couch that Maavu was sitting in and said, "I was hoping Master Maavu that I might learn more about this conclave you belong to.
