[QUOTE="Archon Basileus, post: 7269712, member: 6855545"] "I'd be glad to. East of here lies the passage to the Woods. Beyond, the halls advance towards the Spiral Road. Above rest the three cities of the Teraphim, Vanirskeep, as well as Nova Palatine and Amberilan's Heart; below are the Gates of Undru, beyond which the tribes live. It is there that you will find the Iron Cemetery." - she gestures around, as if trying to draw a rustic map with her fingertips. "If you have parchment, I'll draw the way to the extent of my capabilities." Her eyes betray a turbulent wave of sentiments as she hears Thulwar's suggestions. In the end, though, the smile upon her lips win the struggle, turning the harshness of her eyes into an amused sign of friendship. "A warrior of Vanirskeep needs no protection! Your miners, on the other hand..." - she turns over her shoulders, meeting the ragged group, as well as the greenskin prisoner. "Nevertheless, the odds of falling prey to another ambush are, at this point... Rather large." - she breathes impatiently, remembering the cause of her bruises.
