Turning Pallenten to the south you continue on your journey. The tracks are an unwelcome sign, one that underlines your need to be careful. It would appear that this route to the Devkraager Tor may not be as lonely a path as you would have wished for.
Leaving the tracks behind Pallenten gallops on, the leagues disappearing beneath her hooves as you skirt the boundaries of the marshes. It is a process that requires care and a certain amount of local knowledge about the nature of the Faeron. Although the marshes are well defined, they harbour a multitude of dangers to the unwary. The edges of the wetland hold areas of loose earth, quagmire and curious patches of bubbling water that reek of festering mould. All these dangers must be avoided and it takes a practised eye to spot them before the unwary fall within their grasp. It is all the more difficult due to the haste with which you must travel, but on you speed, every minute important to the success of your quest.
By mid-afternoon you reach the southern edge of the wetlands and you turn Pallenten to the west. In the distance the Devkraager Tor looms ever larger, now growing ahead of you, it dominates the western horizon. For a short time you rest Pallenten and take the time to survey the four horizons. To the north a huge black storm is brewing, gaining power as it moves slowly southwards towards you.
