Freeton is on the western side of the crescent.... well...TIME FOR A MAP ![ATTACH=full]401673[/ATTACH]With WIS 3, our heroes chose to land at a southern point, in a sandy beach just under a cliff that is actually Mount Seagate, culminating at 27,000 feet (conveniently converted for our North-American audience). It didn't take long to get from Freeton to the Elf village because there was a path and it was on the other side of Mount Seagate. Crossing from our landing site to the village implies:1. Going up the cliff using a goat path. For reference, an alpine ibex can walk up ridges up to 75° and can walk along manmade dams...2. That was the easy part. Then, one has to cross the high-altitude graveyard of trees, an Atacama-like desert of high altitude (hence the sudden climate change, it's because we had a very high altitude change over a few kilometers.3. Then there is problem of crossing the peak of Seagate itself, with all the problem linked to sparsity of oxygen before going down a steep denivaltion down to the elven village.Alternatively, one could have landed in Freeton and taken the track Thayne's village, which, in the intervening 5 years, had been upgraded with signposts so one doesn't get lost and guardrails in the toughest part of the hill for the benefits of the city-dwelling tourist.</blockquote>
