Dartis and Caramip shake their heads at the departure of Silas and Barok. Then they pack their bags and head off on the long trip towards Tallione. The duo takes to a nearby road and heads east. The trip is mostly uneventful, although abandoned and empty villages line the roads. Not even a Tallione patrol appears to slow the lonely journey.
That changes as the two cross the old border to the Tallione Empire. Patrols do appear in small clusters, although the soldiers hunch in their saddles and ride poorly. It is an easy thing for Dartis and Caramip to avoid them. Finally, Dartis sees the city of Tallione for the first time. Nothing, not even Dorinam, was as large and grand as this. The city is wide, with smaller towns and villages surrounding it on all sides and nestled amongst seven tall hills. Even from five miles away the nobleman notices the streets filled with granite and marble statues, and the magnificient columned buildings. Caramip also looks on, but with a familiar and unimpressed set of eyes. She preferred Craeco culture and architecture.
The most important thing to Dartis, was that there were signs of human life here... fewer pillars of smoke than he had hoped for, but still obvious signs. The two rode on, passing towns of nearly empty streets and Imperial citizens with haunted looks and thin bodies, up until they reached the gates of Tallione itself. Four weak-looking and weary soldiers stopped them, asking in Tallione, "Hold, citizen. Where did you get that Dorinthian gear?"
OOC: Let's rule that Dartis speaks conversational Tallionian with a strong Dorinthian accent. Caramip, of course, is fluent.
