Your character has just arrived in a swampy, dim town. As they look around, their gaze is met with shacks and cabins. It smells of rotted wood and wet moss. They duck and step into a tattered tent, illuminated by a series of candles suspended in the air. At the back of the tent, an old hag raises her head, “What brings you to this dingy town? She begins, then pauses to study your face—”Ah, it’s you. I’ve been expecting you. Sit,” she gestures at a cushion, “Tell me your story.”
At the beginning he's silent, but then he gathers courage and speaks:
—"I'm a peasant freed from serfdom , my name is Von Kort. Previously I was blacksmith’s assistant in The Excilic Kingdom of Númendil."—
—"And what happend to your famlily? Where are they now?"—stranger asked.
—"Well, they stayed, I was the only one freed from serfdom"— Von Kort said sadly.
—"Ok, then what are you doing here ?"—
He answered without hesitation:
—"I'm looking for The Kingdom of Norland to become king’s advisor. Do you know where it is?"— He asked with hope.
—"I'm not sure, but if you go north, there will be a village, they will guide you."—
—"Thank you so much!"— Von Kort knelt down and walked away.
Von Kort walked a long way to a village, asked bar tender for way and he finally got to The Kingdom of Norland.
