[QUOTE="Knightfall, post: 7095559, member: 2012"] Dorin knows that Wisym will come up Obsidian Avenue from the south side of the city, so he heads along the back side of the library's archive building and then once he is sure that the man is not anywhere in sight, he quickly cuts across the avenue and through the fine establishments that lead to the corner of Volcano Street and Magma Avenue. He soon mixes into the growing crowds of the morning. With his newfound knowledge, he is eager to tell someone. But who? He'd pestered Miss Skie to death about the Order, and the lord mayor in particular, about the subject. She knew them well, but is always a bit coy about how much she knows about them. They had relied on her a lot during the Cagewright Invasion. Skie liked Dorin's enthusasim but not usually during business hours. Still, her shop was just to the south on Traders' Way. There was Myles Wrightsson, of course. He isn't Dorin's best friend, by any means, but they had grown up together. Well, sort of. Myles will be busy sorting and cleaning this morning's catch at Rellec's Fish Market. Messy and smelly work. It is probably best to tell him later, if at all. Myles isn't as keen on the city's magical history as Dorin, and he has no taste for adventure. Dorin knows there isn't any point going near the Lord Mayor's Residence. The guards stationed there know his face, and he'd been caught once too often trying to sneak into the compound. Lord Mayor Grofus not spending much time there hasn't made the guards lax in their duties. In fact, they seem even more determined to keep people out. Either that, or the rumors are true, and they are trying to keep something dangerous inside the walled estate! Half way down Magma Avenue towards the corner with Traders' Way, he realizes that there might be someone else who might be interested in what he's learned in the library. It is a long way to The Elfbridge and across to Elvin House, but he knows that Oleander will, at the very least, listen to him and give an honest opinion.
