A quick flight north has begun, brought up from conversation of the past. I had a settlement, and my own people. I wondered if the other mage, a spirit like myself, had survived the events and had returned to his kingdom on the coast. There were so many questions to have settled, the primary being a rather simple one. Was my settlement, my colony, my civilization, still there? Were my people still my people? The air was warm and the wind was at my back as I began my descent towards a market city on the edge of the coast. Like any major gathering of these humans, it seemed like the easiest method of gaining intelligence in a proper fashion would be at the local tavern. Stepping down onto the ground, I would stride through the streets, taking note of the garb and demeanor of the people before heading straight for the tavern.
