"This is Sir Belwick of Granitehold."  To his right he draws your gaze to a lithe human woman dressed in a well-made tunic trimmed with gold and red. "Here is Lady Bronwyn of the Fords." Lastly he points his hand to the last individual, a half-elf dressed in well-fitting leathers with a dull green cloak. "Lastly, this is Sir Edwin of East Watch."  Each of the knights bow slightly and take their seats.Once all are seated, a few servants move about and pour ale and water for everyone.  As the refreshments are passed out the Baron becomes a bit stern and opens the discussion with a curt question."So, we hear that you traversed the Innenotdar Fire Forest.  We also hear that by virtue of that passage you somehow put the cursed flames out.  Have we heard correctly?"</blockquote>
