A loud horn sounds in the great distance, low and mournful. Its wail rumbles in time with the whistling of the icy winds.

Roelon deeply says, "If ah lead us where we wish to go..."

Lithyia smirks at Grutak.

Lithyia nods at Jadedragan.

Lithyia says, "One more thing."

Aerocus smirks.

Lithyia says, "Probably better I stay here."

Aerocus blinks.

Tennalnen exclaims, "North!"

Roelon just moved quietly north, with his group following closely.

Nalver's group just arrived.

Nalver squints.

Speaking to Sorlu, you say, "It seems we were left behind."

You chuckle.

Speaking to Sorlu, you ask, "Shall we?"

Roelon grins.

Speaking to Hazelnut, Nalver says, "If we are right that these are the Wasila Giants, please don't pick a fight."

Speaking to Hazelnut, you ask, "Does that sound mean something more to you than perhaps poor musicianship?"

Roelon glances between Nalver and Dendum.

Roelon grins at Nalver.

A sudden gust makes the snow dance and swirl around you.

Speaking weakly to you, Hazelnut says, "Hopefully not war horns."

Roelon slowly exhales, and the air surrounding him smells of strawberry-infused scotch whiskey.

Roelon glances at Hazelnut.

Speaking to Sorlu, Nalver asks, "Do you know anything about the Walimore giants?"

Speaking to herself, Mearyn mutters, "Probably war horns."

Speaking to Hazelnut, Dendum inquires, ""They have multiple horns?"

Speaking deeply to Hazelnut, Roelon asks, "Ye would think such?"

Roelon rubs his chin thoughtfully.

You nod slightly at Hazelnut.

Opalina exclaims, "I hope it's not warhorns! but if it is.. We are together united and we will fight together!"

Opalina raises her fist defiantly.

Speaking to Nalver, Grutak says, "Roelon and I do."

Nalver says, "I mean, I doubt they are about to come down the glacier at us. Likely they are coming around the mountain and from the east...."

Mearyn narrows her eyes.

Speaking to Opalina, you tease, "Just be certain that you and the Commander only kill the enemies."

Speaking deeply to Opalina, Roelon says, "We will defend out home. Aye. But lets hope it is nae such."

Speaking to Mearyn, Locklyer whispers aloud, "Most likely war horns."

Speaking to Nalver, Dendum says, "They are rather large...."

Casinoe quietly says, "Let them come."

Opalina rocks back on her heels.

Roelon nods at Grutak.

The ground rumbles faintly with the sound of great footsteps resounding off of the surface of the glacier.

Speaking to Nalver, Sorlu says, "Only little. I know they are ferocious in combat...but Councillor Roelon would know more than I."

Roelon blinks.

Draelor ponders.

Speaking to Casinoe, Nalver says, "They aren't a threat. We invited them to come."

You say, "I think we can safely assume they are large."

Roelon glances at some carved ice steps.

Mearyn stamps her feet.

Looking satisfied, Dendum nods in agreement at Nalver.

Sorlu glances suspiciously around the area.

Closer now, the sound of horns crying in unison echoes from the northernmost reaches of the glacier outside of Icemule Trace.

Speaking to Nalver, Dendum admits, "Would make more sense to hold attack until we can see them this is true."

Draelor says, "Seem to want to be noticed."

Speaking to Falvicar, Opalina says, "We can't kill anything yet."

You say, "If it is the giants come to speak with us, it is rather convenient that they came to us rather than us having to seek them."

Nalver says, "I hope it is okay, though."

Nalver blows into his horn, letting out a low, soft tone.

Falvicar nods at Opalina.

Roelon nods.

Speaking to Opalina, Falvicar says, "I'm just being ready in case."

Opalina picks idly at some sleek selshis skin gloves with kelyn-reinforced knuckles.

You say, "Perhaps it is a good sign that our call for unification of the north is being heard."

Falvicar nods reassuringly at Opalina.

Nalver attaches an onyx-marbled smooth bone horn to his sharkskin belt.

Speaking to you, Dendum reminds, "'well...they do not wish to show you home."

Opalina asks, "Oh?"

Lord Randsford just went southwest.

Grutak says, "Magnificent."

Opalina says, "Oh boy."

Roelon coughs.

Speaking to a massive ice giant emissary, Nalver asks, "Think they are the Wolimar giants?"

Speaking to Nalver, Grutak says, "Wsalamir."

Speaking to Nalver, Grutak says, "You are getting bettter."

Speaking to Grutak, Nalver says, "That's what I said."

Falvicar ponders.

Grutak says, "No... but close."

Roelon grins at Grutak.

Speaking deeply to Nalver, Roelon says, "Perhaps ah bit of ale might help loosen the tongue enough."

Speaking to Roelon, Grutak says, "You make a better target."

Opalina says, "We can hide behind our friendly giants."

Lithyia smirks at Opalina.

The sound of ice cracking fills the air, protesting groans echoing over the glacier as steam begins rising in the distance. It cannot entirely obscure an approaching phalanx, their heavy steps measured and cautious.

Speaking to Teaberry, you say, "Good to see you, adjudicator."

Fire Giant Messenger

One of the figures departs from the gathered silhouettes and approaches. It becomes swiftly clear that he is not carrying a torch. Rather, veins of liquid flame thread through the craggy flesh of his face and exposed arms. He approaches slowly, a grim look on his features.

A huge fire giant messenger says, "They see the answer in our smokes. A mountain, an angry mountain, swelling like the head of a pustule."

Speaking to Tennalnen, Sorlu says, "Glaoveln is to the west."

Olgretien smiles at Jadedragan.

Roelon leans back.

Speaking to Jadedragan, Draelor says, "True, best to leave that further south."

Hazelnut frowns.

Jadedragan nods at Draelor.

Jadedragan grins at Olgretien.

Tennalnen nods in agreement at Sorlu.

Randsford glances at Grutak.

Lithyia glances at Grutak.

Speaking to a huge fire giant messenger, Hazelnut asks, "You've seen it? A mountain?"

Speaking to a huge fire giant messenger, you ask, "Out of the waters?"

Roelon raises an eyebrow.

Speaking to Sorlu, Tennalnen says, "Sounds like it might be the place."

A huge fire giant messenger says, "I do not know this place's name. I have never been to sea."

Roelon deeply says, "Hmmm."

A sudden gust makes the snow dance and swirl around you.

Tennalnen nods understandingly to the fire giant messenger.

Speaking to Tennalnen, Jadedragan says, "If we're lucky the volcano will rid us of some krol islands."

Lithyia shivers.

Speaking to a huge fire giant messenger, Tennalnen says, "I would imagine not."

Tennalnen grins at a huge fire giant messenger.

Sorlu nods slowly at Grutak.

Hazelnut carefully asks, "Will it harm us here?"

Speaking to Jadedragan, you say, "It may be unwise for a frozen land to be wishing for volcanoes to come."

Speaking deeply to Jadedragan, Roelon says, "And if we are nae so lucky..."

Speaking to Jadedragan, Tennalnen asks, "When have any of us been found in the favor of luck?"

Speaking to Jadedragan, Dendum reminds, ""The Krol know a thing or two about avoiding exploding land."

Roelon glances west.

A massive ice giant emissary folds his arms and looks off into the distance.

Speaking to you, Jadedragan says, "Hence the luck piece here."

Jadedragan grins at you.

You chuckle.

(Grutak slowly moves through the crowd.)

Speaking to Jadedragan, Tennalnen says, "I fear if it the Krolvin, they may seek to land nearby."

A huge fire giant messenger says, "The fury will bring ash and warm winds, but little more."

Tennalnen turns an inquisitive ear toward a huge fire giant messenger.

Roelon narrows his eyes.

Sorlu nods slowly.

With a wave and a kiss blown into the wind, Loralaii leaves the area.

Here and there a snowflake flutters down.

A huge fire giant messenger says, "But in its wake, we see a time of great change. Our fire must join your fire."

Grutak searches around for a moment.

Lithyia nods to the fire giant messenger.

Sorlu nods in agreement to the fire giant messenger.

Tennalnen nods approvingly to the fire giant messenger.

Roelon slowly exhales, and the air surrounding him smells of strawberry-infused scotch whiskey.

Draelor grins.

A massive ice giant emissary rumbles out a sound of discontentment.

Speaking to a huge fire giant messenger, Sorlu says, "Indeed. The time has come for that."

Roelon forcefully crosses one arm over his leather coat-of-plates and offers a formal bow.

Roelon nods once.

Nalver points at Casinoe.


Old Wounds

A massive ice giant emissary says, "Have a care. Many of the giant clans in the north will avoid your banners if their kind are accepted first."

Sorlu glances at a massive ice giant emissary.

Falvicar grins at Roelon.

Dendum says, "Hrmm."

Roelon grins slowly.

Nalver glances at a massive ice giant emissary.

Grutak nods.

A huge fire giant messenger says, "Jealous and small, they are."

Roelon whispers something to Falvicar.

Lithyia sighs.

Falvicar gazes in amusement at Roelon.

A huge fire giant messenger says, "We have not been summoned to the Giantmoot in many a day."

Speaking to a massive ice giant emissary, Randsford says, "We will have words with all that are willing. Trust must be earned after all. Just as we did before."

Randsford nods to the ice giant emissary.

Lithyia says, "Not everything or everyone who is small is unworthy...."

A huge fire giant messenger hoarsely says, "Not since the fall of Crystalhall."

Roelon raises an eyebrow.

Randsford squints at a huge fire giant messenger.

Teaberry asks, "What was Crystalhall?"

Grutak says, "We do not trust children who batter at friends out of spite. We offer home and hearth to all willing to stand beside the free North."

Sorlu cocks his head at a huge fire giant messenger.

Teaberry peers quizzically at a huge fire giant messenger.

A massive ice giant emissary says, "There are some who still blame the fire giants for the loss of our ancient hold."

Speaking to a huge fire giant messenger, Tennalnen asks, "A Giantmoot, of all the clans?"

Speaking to a massive ice giant emissary, Teaberry asks, "Why?"

Speaking to a massive ice giant emissary, Sorlu asks, "Why is that?"

Bakarus nods at Roelon.

Speaking to a massive ice giant emissary, Grutak says, "It's time to put away hurts of the past and unite under one banner."

Sorlu smirks at you!

Hazelnut thoughtfully says, "I've heard of this place. From several of the clans I visited."

Lithyia agrees with Grutak.

Tennalnen glances at Hazelnut.

Raelee glances at Hazelnut.

Roelon agrees with Grutak.

Shrinking to the size of a child's fist, Raelee's white fire burns with an intense ecru light.

Falvicar whispers something to Hazelnut.

Speaking to a massive ice giant emissary, Grutak asks, "Will your clan listen to one of the Wsalamir?"

Falvicar gibbers incoherently.

Hazelnut says, "It was said to be one of the first holds of the giants when their ancestors settled in this region."

Lithyia turns an inquisitive ear toward Hazelnut.

Bakarus nods understandingly at Hazelnut.

Sorlu nods slowly at Hazelnut.

Roelon nods slowly at Hazelnut.

Speaking to a huge fire giant messenger, Alosaka asks, "Is your clan aligned with the Grimswarm?"

Dendum says, "Hrmm."

Speaking to a huge fire giant messenger, Grutak asks, "Will your clan listen to one of the Wsalamir?"

Speaking to Grutak, a massive ice giant emissary says, "We are not Kindred. They are small and fleshy."

Raelee glances at Nalver.

Sorlu appears to be trying hard not to grin.

Jadedragan coughs.

Lithyia bites her lip.

Speaking to Hazelnut, Raelee asks, "Where was it located?"

Speaking to a massive ice giant emissary, Grutak says, "They are fiecrce warriors though. They are to be respected."

Speaking deeply to a massive ice giant emissary, Roelon says, "Fleshy and small, aye, but blood nae bond us yet still."

Olgretien appears to be trying hard not to grin.

Roelon pulls the folds of his black woolen kilt more tightly around his waist.

A huge fire giant messenger says, "We have kept our banners our own. We are not Grimswarm."

Alosaka nods appreciatively.

Speaking to Raelee, Hazelnut says, "I don't really know. They don't like to talk about it."

Sorlu nods approvingly to the fire giant messenger.

Tennalnen nods approvingly to the fire giant messenger.

Teaberry smiles at the messenger.

Grutak says, "I would bid both of you to Giantmoot, and hear the worlds of Roelon of the Wsalamir clan."

Falvicar nods.

Speaking to a huge fire giant messenger, Nalver asks, "What battles has your clan won?"

Speaking to Hazelnut, Dendum asks, ""Did they lose it like it was destroyed or did they just...forget where it was?"

Jadedragan appears to be struggling to keep a straight face.

A massive ice giant emissary says, "The Giantmoot was once held in Crystalhall. All of the clans had a turn at defending it."

Speaking to Grutak, Nalver says, "It's pronounced Stalmir."

Sorlu nods slowly to the ice giant emissary.

Speaking to a massive ice giant emissary, Sorlu asks, "And what happened?"

A huge fire giant messenger nods, but she does not seem to be able to look Valfald in the eye.

Lithyia glances at Nalver.

Speaking to Sorlu, you whisper aloud, "I think I see where this is going."

Speaking to Hazelnut, Tennalnen says, "This Giantmoot seems like a good idea, mayhaps we can reclaim this Crystalhall for them to show our commitment to this pact."

Lithyia grins.

Sorlu nods perfunctorily to you.

Roelon nods at Tennalnen.

Tennalnen's face turns slightly pale.

A huge fire giant messenger says, "We held the hall when it was attacked by forces unknown. Two clans of fire giants were wiped out entirely in Crystalhall's defense. It was a brave day, but a dark day."

Roelon deeply says, "If we kin help...that is the goal of what we wish."

Randsford ponders.

Tennalnen says, "Not that I would presume to speak for Icemule."

Roelon deeply says, "To help each other."

Roelon nods at Tennalnen.

Lithyia frowns at a huge fire giant messenger.

A massive ice giant emissary coldly says, "...a shameful day."

Randsford nods in agreement at Roelon.

Sorlu frowns.

A huge fire giant messenger sharply says, "We lost more than any clan."

Hazelnut holds up placating hands.

Tennalnen gets a blank look on his face.

Tennalnen nods somberly to the fire giant messenger.

Hazelnut asks, "...so, is that why there aren't many fire giants in the North?"

Roelon frowns.

Tennalnen whispers something to Hazelnut.

A huge fire giant messenger gives a grunt as if to affirm the suspicion.

Tennalnen appears to be trying hard not to grin.

Sorlu nods once.

Grutak takes a moment to observe Roelon.

Speaking deeply to a huge fire giant messenger, Roelon asks, "Then, as others hae suggested. Perhaps it is ah place we kin help reclaim?"

Dendum begins chortling at Queatus.

Dendum nods.

Roelon glances at a massive ice giant emissary.

Randsford nods approvingly at Roelon.

Lithyia fidgets.

Speaking to a massive ice giant emissary, Teaberry says, "If you'd be willing to have our help, of course."

Sorlu asks, "What evil was it that assaulted Crystalhall? Was the foe a known one?"

A huge fire giant messenger says, "When the ash and the warm winds come, we will thrive. But what comes after is shrouded in smoke, and causes the elders to fear."

A massive ice giant emissary says, "I doubt that Crystalhall can be reclaimed, but..."

Tennalnen nods encouragingly to the ice giant emissary.

Sorlu nods to you.

A massive ice giant emissary looks out over the glacier, his eyes narrowing as he takes in the gathered fire giants there.

Roelon nods to the ice giant emissary.

A massive ice giant emissary says, "If it were possible, that would be a brave day."

A huge fire giant messenger eagerly says, "A vengeful day."

Roelon deeply says, "We are here to help each other. Then One day, we will offer this aid to do just that."

Dendum exclaims, "A day to sing about!"

Lithyia quietly asks, "Do they sing?"

Lithyia glances at Dendum.

Speaking to a massive ice giant emissary, Jadedragan asks, "Would that set anything on the path to healing between the clans?"

Speaking to Lithyia, Dendum says, ""We can sing if they refuse to sing."

Tennalnen exclaims, "A day of unity to reclaim the Crystalhall!"

Speaking to Grutak, Randsford says, "If not he does."

Lithyia nods at Dendum.

Roelon nods at Tennalnen.

Dendum nods at Lithyia.

Speaking grudgingly to Jadedragan, a massive ice giant emissary says, "Perhaps."

Lithyia grins at Randsford.

Sorlu nods at Grutak.

Lithyia quietly says, "Yes, he does."

Lithyia smiles.

Hazelnut asks, "How would we even find it, though?"

Tennalnen glances between a huge fire giant messenger and a massive ice giant emissary.

Roelon agrees with Hazelnut.

Tennalnen asks, "Is its location known?"

Speaking to Hazelnut, Nalver says, "Pretend we have it."

A huge fire giant messenger hesitantly says, "None of our clan's elders are old enough to know for certain."

Speaking to a massive ice giant emissary, Jadedragan says, "See! This town has given my people a home that we desperately need. There's a desire to help, and I imagine we could do something with your people."

Speaking to Hazelnut, Dendum says, ""Well....if all the clans defended it perhaps mixed amongst the clans are clues."

A massive ice giant emissary nods at Jadedragan.

Lithyia agrees with Jadedragan.

Speaking to Hazelnut, Nalver says, "Then everyone comes looking for it here. They'll probably have clues where the real one is."

Speaking to Hazelnut, Raelee says, "There may be small clues in historical record."

Sorlu says, "As vast as the North is, truly it could be anywhere."

Speaking to a huge fire giant messenger, Tennalnen says, "The enemy who slew your clans, would it still be present in the Crystalhall."

Alosaka nods at Sorlu.

A massive ice giant emissary says, "...it is said that there are some frost giant elders who walked beneath the jeweled arches of Crystalhall."

Roelon raises an eyebrow.

Alosaka adds, "The glaciers have a habit of consuming unattended ruins, after time."

A massive ice giant emissary says, "The secret is not known to the Black Cairns Clan, either."

Tennalnen nods in agreement at Alosaka.

Lithyia turns an inquisitive ear toward a massive ice giant emissary.

Speaking to a massive ice giant emissary, Jadedragan exclaims, "There you go! That hate you've held, it serves nothing. That is a path forward!"

Roelon deeply says, "Perhaps the other clans."

Randsford gulps.

Roelon nods to the ice giant emissary.

Speaking to Roelon, Sorlu says, "Ellerel has helped us before in locating places not well known...perhaps he can do so again."

Lithyia nods at Jadedragan.

Speaking to Sorlu, Hazelnut says, "That is a sound idea."

Speaking deeply to Sorlu, Roelon says, "Perhaps. Such old knowledge he mae be able to find."

Roelon rubs his chin thoughtfully.

Sorlu nods at Hazelnut.

Here and there a snowflake flutters down.

Hazelnut asks, "Perhaps we could reach out to the frost giant elders and arrange a meeting?"

Roelon nods slowly.

Jadedragan nods.

Jadedragan nods emphatically!

Tennalnen nods approvingly at Hazelnut.

Falvicar nods at Hazelnut.

Jadedragan grins at Hazelnut.

Sorlu agrees with Hazelnut.

A massive ice giant emissary and the fire giant laugh at the same time. They stop abruptly and look at each other, squinting.

Lithyia blinks.

Tennalnen appears to be trying hard not to grin.

Speaking to Hazelnut, Grutak says, "I would encourage you to take Roelon."

Jadedragan grins mischievously.

A massive ice giant emissary says, "Frost giants are the biggest cowards of all."

Roelon nods slowly at Randsford.

Sorlu glances between a huge fire giant messenger and a massive ice giant emissary.

Sorlu appears to be trying hard not to grin.

A huge fire giant messenger says, "This is true."


Hazelnut's Theory

Lithyia quietly asks, "How many kinds of giants are there?"

Speaking quietly to himself, Tennalnen exclaims, "They agree!"

Grutak says, "Agreement on one thing can lead to more."

Teaberry says, "They are certainly annoying."

Imrys grins.

Lithyia begins chuckling at Tennalnen!

Roelon points at Tennalnen.

Jadedragan nods at Tennalnen.

Sorlu nods at Grutak.

Roelon deeply says, "It is ah start."

Jadedragan grins at Tennalnen.

Roelon grins slowly.

Teaberry mutters frostgiants.

Speaking to Roelon, Jadedragan says, "Small steps forward are still steps forward."

Speaking to Lithyia, Tennalnen says, "Dozens I think."

Speaking to Lithyia, Hazelnut says, "Many. In fact, since we've been to the Hinterwilds, I've put together quite the theory."

Tennalnen rubs his chin thoughtfully.

Lithyia gawks at Hazelnut.

Grutak says, "Why, at one time I wanted to cut off Roelon's head and put it on a pike. Yet here we are, brothers."

Lithyia says, "I had no idea."

Lithyia begins chuckling at Grutak!

Sorlu begins chuckling at Grutak!

Roelon grins at Grutak.

Mearyn looks thoughtfully at Roelon.

Hazelnut says, "The gigas are big. Larger than any of the local giants we've seen. Begging your collective pardon, of course."

Sorlu grins at you.

A massive ice giant emissary coldly says, "No."

Jadedragan coughs.

Roelon chuckles.

Lithyia begins chuckling at Grutak!

Imrys laughs softly, trying to hide her amusement.

Alosaka frowns.

Lithyia just nudged Grutak.

Hazelnut says, "I believe more firmly than ever that they are the progenitors of all giantkind."

Grutak asks, "Ya sure? She could warm up your nights?"

Sorlu looks thoughtfully at Hazelnut.

Roelon raises an eyebrow in Hazelnut's direction.

Tennalnen blinks at Hazelnut.

Lithyia giggles to herself.

Speaking to Lithyia, Jadedragan says, "I thought you were supposed to be a calming influence."

Jadedragan grins at Lithyia.

Speaking to a huge fire giant messenger, Grutak asks, "An arranged marriage to unite the two clans?"

Lithyia glances at Jadedragan.

Lithyia says, "He seems to be quite calm."

Alosaka observes, "I will have to report to the Sunfist grand master that a conclave of giants is assembling in the north in search of this Crystalhall."

Lithyia glares at Jadedragan.

Speaking to Jadedragan, Opalina says, "I think she is, I mean he's talkin love not war."

Roelon grins.

Falvicar whispers something to Sorlu.

Falvicar snickers at Sorlu.

Grutak glances at Alosaka.

Hazelnut says, "Their ability to adapt to elements might have regressed over generations of living with the same elemental flows."

Jadedragan ponders.

Jadedragan nods at Opalina.

Jadedragan says, "Fair point."

Draelor sighs.

Lithyia smirks at Opalina.

Roelon rubs his chin thoughtfully.

Lithyia blushes a nice shade of dark red.

Speaking to Hazelnut, a huge fire giant messenger says, "You speak much, but say little."

Opalina winks at Lithyia.

Sorlu grins at Falvicar.

Jadedragan says, "I retract my statement."

Speaking to Hazelnut, Dendum asks, ""Did not those lost books hint at such?"

Jadedragan nods at Lithyia.

Jadedragan nods at Opalina.

Hazelnut babbles something unintelligible.

Lithyia giggles to herself.

Speaking to a huge fire giant messenger, you say, "It is the way of bards."

Speaking to Dendum, Hazelnut says, "They did, but..."

Roelon grins at you.

Hazelnut glances between a massive ice giant emissary and a huge fire giant messenger.

Sorlu chuckles.

Hazelnut says, "That means that you are both kin, in a sense."

A massive ice giant emissary snorts!

Grutak nods.

Tennalnen laughs!

A huge fire giant messenger shakes her head, chuckling deeply.

Sorlu smiles.

Speaking to a massive ice giant emissary, Dendum says, ""Oi, you think that is bad we have to deal with the Felcour."

Randsford nods.

Lithyia quietly says, "I like when they laugh."

Lithyia smiles.

Jadedragan grins at Lithyia.

A huge fire giant messenger scornfully says, "Kin. Doubtful."

Speaking to himself, Dendum adds, ""That is what we say about the Felcour..."

Speaking to a huge fire giant messenger, Randsford says, "Perheps kin will be what our new bond is to become."

Randsford nods encouragingly to the fire giant messenger.

Roelon nods at Randsford.

Speaking to Dendum, a massive ice giant emissary asks, "What... is a Fal-cor?"

Speaking to a huge fire giant messenger, Jadedragan asks, "Chosen kin is much stronger than anything else. Maybe choose a new path?"

Speaking to a massive ice giant emissary, Dendum says, ""Hrmm......doubtful kin."

Dendum nods to the ice giant emissary.

Sorlu whispers, "This moves in a direction that is positive towards our goals...I feel little need to intervene."

Randsford says, "This meeting seems doubtful yet here we are."

Randsford shrugs.

Roelon agrees with Randsford.

Randsford says, "Imagine all of us here and not clashing."

Lithyia whispers something to Grutak.

Randsford nods approvingly.

Lithyia glances at Grutak.

Lithyia grins at Grutak.

A huge fire giant messenger says, "You should hurry and find Crystalhall, Valfald of the Black Cairns. Otherwise we will join our fire with their fire and leave you out in the cold."

Sorlu gazes with interest at a huge fire giant messenger.

Hazelnut mildly says, "I... think we have a say in that."

Here and there a snowflake flutters down.

You hold up your hand and tilt it side to side in a so-so gesture.

Lithyia asks, "Or perhaps... you could all... work together?"

Roelon begins chuckling at Hazelnut!

Hazelnut nods at Tennalnen.

Roelon grins.

Randsford nods in agreement at Lithyia.

Lithyia quietly says, "Just a thought..."

Lithyia shrugs.

Lithyia gazes up into the heavens.

Speaking to a huge fire giant messenger, Tennalnen says, "You need not join with the other fire. We have plenty of fire in our hearts."

Speaking to a huge fire giant messenger, Grutak asks, "Have you had troubles with Grim?"

Speaking to Lithyia, a massive ice giant emissary says, "It is best to keep their involvement a secret, if we are to get anything out of the frost giants."

Speaking to Tennalnen, Dendum whispers aloud, "Think perhaps we are other fire."

Roelon rubs his chin thoughtfully.

Lithyia smiles at the emissary.

Speaking to Grutak, a huge fire giant messenger says, "No."

Grutak glances at Alosaka.

Speaking to a massive ice giant emissary, Grutak asks, "Have you had involvement with the Grim?"

Bakarus nods understandingly.

Speaking to a massive ice giant emissary, Dendum asks, ""We do not need to mention all things at all times, but will the frost not get angry if it thinks secrets are being kept?"

Speaking to Dendum, Sorlu says, "There is a difference between a secret and a lie."

Sorlu nods at Dendum.

Lithyia quietly says, "Keeping secrets can come in handy at times...but can also come back and cause more harm later."

Draelor agrees with Lithyia.

Speaking to Roelon, Grutak says, "Outside forces are threatening to bring harm to these two clans."

Bakarus nods in agreement at Lithyia.

Falvicar nods at Lithyia.

Tennalnen says, "Honesty is usually the best policy."

Falvicar leans on Opalina, resting his hand upon her shoulder.

Tennalnen shrugs.

A huge fire giant messenger says, "There is a cavern not far north of here where the blood of the earth flows hot and bright. I and mine claim it as ours."

Bakarus agrees with Tennalnen.

Sorlu chuckles to himself.

Tennalnen glances at a huge fire giant messenger.

Roelon furrows his brow.

A huge fire giant messenger says, "It is to that place that you may send a message once you have communed with the frost giants."

Jadedragan says, "Secrets are the ways of people who don't trust...that is the way of the Empire many of us are getting away from."

Sorlu nods to the fire giant messenger.

Speaking to a huge fire giant messenger, Tennalnen says, "Fair journeys, stay warm."

Tennalnen faces a huge fire giant messenger and smartly brings his right fist up to his chest. Holding it there, he bows deeply.

Speaking to a huge fire giant messenger, Grutak says, "I hope to visit your home soon."

A huge fire giant messenger looks around. Her eyes flare once, and she walks away.

Roelon nods to the fire giant messenger.

Sorlu says, "An honor to meet with you, and witness the strength and size of your people."


Final Thoughts with Valfald

Randsford nods slowly.

Tennalnen rubs his chin thoughtfully.

Roelon forcefully crosses one arm over his leather coat-of-plates and offers a formal bow.

Drawing her left leg behind her right, Teaberry briefly dips into a respectful curtsy and bows her head.

A massive ice giant emissary says, "Fire giants are strange."

Tennalnen says, "Interesting."

Sorlu grins slowly at a massive ice giant emissary.

Roelon grins slowly.

Speaking to a massive ice giant emissary, Grutak says, "All people are strange."

Speaking quietly to a massive ice giant emissary, Hazelnut asks, "And you really don't see the resemblance?"

Lithyia quietly says, "You're all strange to me...but in the most wonderful way."

Lithyia smiles at the emissary.

Tennalnen begins chuckling at Hazelnut!

Teaberry says, "I'm glad we got to meet her, just as I'm glad we got to meet you."

Roelon grins.

A massive ice giant emissary rumbles low in his throat as if mulling the question.

Speaking to a massive ice giant emissary, Grutak says, "Still think you'd make a lovely couple."

Lithyia quietly says, "So fascinating...so...impressive...so... large."

Lithyia begins chuckling at Grutak!

Roelon grins at Lithyia.

Coins appears to lose some internal strength.

Hazelnut says, "We didn't even get to ask her name."

Speaking to a massive ice giant emissary, Tennalnen asks, "Can you elaborate on why the other clans feel such distrust, or was it simply because they failed to protect Crystalhall?"

Speaking to Lithyia, Randsford says, "Imagine the bonefire."

Randsford grins at Lithyia.

Lithyia laughs at Randsford!

In the distance, the fire giants receive their messenger once more and turn, their footsteps rumbling through the icy crystal of the glacier.

Sorlu whispers, "There is still quite the risk here. Should the giants unite against us, instead of with us, well..."

Roelon casually observes his surroundings.

Jadedragan sighs.

Speaking to a massive ice giant emissary, Grutak asks, "Did you know her?"

Jadedragan says, "It's nice getting to meet more of the peoples of the North."

Speaking to Grutak, a massive ice giant emissary says, "We have encountered each other in battle before."

Lithyia quietly says, "The way they speak to each other..."

Grutak asks, "What is her name?"

Lithyia grins.

Speaking to Tennalnen, a massive ice giant emissary says, "Fire giants are not like us."

Roelon nods slowly.

Tennalnen nods understandingly to the ice giant emissary.

Falvicar whispers something to Lithyia.

Falvicar grins at Lithyia.

Lithyia begins chuckling at Falvicar!

Falvicar snickers.

Lithyia waves a hand at Falvicar, dismissing him indifferently.

Lithyia giggles to herself.

You grin at Sorlu.

Sorlu smirks at you!

A massive ice giant emissary says, "She is called Vrigge."

Roelon agrees with Teaberry.

Falvicar leans on Opalina, resting his hand upon her shoulder.

Here and there a snowflake flutters down.

Speaking to Hazelnut, Grutak asks, "Got it?"

Lithyia says, "Vrigge... I liked her."

Lithyia nods.

A massive ice giant emissary says, "The Raging Chasm is hot. I have never visited."

Randsford nods to the ice giant emissary.

Speaking to a massive ice giant emissary, Randsford asks, "Could you show us the way?"

Lithyia winks at Grutak.

Speaking to a massive ice giant emissary, Randsford asks, "Or know someone that can?"

Lithyia rests a gentle hand on Grutak's arm.

Roelon agrees with Randsford.

Speaking to Grutak, Hazelnut says, "I wouldn't even begin to know how to spell it. There's a Giant rune I know that might be her name, though."

Lithyia says, "Just make sure it's the right rune."

Lithyia nods at Hazelnut.

Speaking to Randsford, a massive ice giant emissary asks, "Do you plan to wipe the rest of them out?"

Lithyia says, "Or else you could end up writing something...horrible."

Randsford shakes his head at a massive ice giant emissary.

Speaking to a massive ice giant emissary, Randsford says, "We must first assess what the situation is."

Here and there a snowflake flutters down.

Grutak says, "V-r-i-g-g-e."

Lithyia grins at Grutak.

Grutak glances at Hazelnut.

Speaking skeptically to Grutak, Hazelnut says, "That doesn't *sound* right."

Speaking to Hazelnut, Grutak says, "For gods sake, I'm a giantkin, I should know."

Roelon begins chuckling at Grutak!

Dendum blinks at Grutak.

Hazelnut says, "The 'e' was more like a rumble of breath. Maybe V-r-i-g-g-huhhhh."

Grutak says, "If you don't believe me ask Roelon."

Lithyia writes upon her paper, looking admiringly down at it as she works.

Speaking to Grutak, Dendum asks, ""Is it like the dark elves and you learn language from magic rocks in the ground?"

Randsford begins chuckling at Hazelnut!

Roelon rubs his chin thoughtfully.

Lithyia offers Hazelnut a sheet of vine green paper with pale rose swirls.

Mearyn narrows her eyes.

Speaking to Hazelnut, Grutak says, "That's an accent. Kinda like yours."

Teaberry says, "There's an old word, vrij. It means 'free.'."

Draelor appears less powerful.

Speaking deeply to Hazelnut, Roelon says, "Ye need to speak it with more fire from the belly, but aye."

Sorlu smiles at Teaberry.

Roelon rubs his chin thoughtfully.

Randsford nods approvingly at Roelon.

Teaberry says, "Maybe her name comes from that."

Speaking to Roelon, Randsford says, "We have a lot of things we need to do."

A massive ice giant emissary says, "The Raging Chasm is north, and near to the coastline. For them to have traveled this far is... unsettling."

Roelon nods at Randsford.

Randsford grins at Roelon.

Draelor loses a thorny barrier.

Speaking to Hazelnut, Grutak exclaims, "More from ze belly!"

Lithyia begins chuckling at Grutak!

Speaking to a massive ice giant emissary, Dendum replies, ""Perhaps these Elders truly fear something."

Lithyia says, "Hazelnut..."

Roelon rubs his chin thoughtfully.

Lithyia offers Hazelnut a sheet of vine green paper with pale rose swirls.

Lithyia says, "I wrote it down for you."

Lithyia smirks.

A massive ice giant emissary says, "It makes me think we do not have time to wait for the frost giants to answer our missives."

Hazelnut accepts Lithyia's vine green paper.

Speaking to Roelon, Grutak asks, "Maybe if we get him drunk first?"

Hazelnut nods at Lithyia.

Falvicar nods at Opalina.

Lithyia smirks at Hazelnut.

Speaking to a massive ice giant emissary, Jadedragan says, "Everyone is looking for connections in the face of the changes that feel like they're coming."

Lithyia winks at Hazelnut.

Speaking to a massive ice giant emissary, Tennalnen asks, "Any chance you know where they can be located?"

Speaking to Lithyia, Hazelnut says, "Close enough, I'm sure."

Lithyia says, "It will get the job done."

Lithyia nods at Hazelnut.

Speaking to Hazelnut, Sorlu asks, "Would you be willing to track down Ellerel, and see what assistance he might be able to provide us?"

Lithyia asks, "Grutak... need me to brew?"

Speaking deeply to Grutak, Roelon says, "Ah think such is possible.."

Roelon chuckles.

Lithyia says, "The small..."

Lithyia sighs.

Lithyia says, "Yes...I'm aware of my size."

Lithyia sighs.

Speaking to a massive ice giant emissary, Grutak says, "I'm not that small."

Speaking to a massive ice giant emissary, Opalina exclaims, "We are small!"

Sorlu whispers, "He may come to regret it. Public opinion is everything."

Randsford chuckles.

Speaking to Opalina, Grutak says, "You are..."

Speaking to Roelon, Randsford says, "They both agreed, this is good."

Randsford flashes Roelon a wolfish grin.

Falvicar ponders.

Speaking to Grutak, Opalina says, "Your smaller than him."

Grutak says, "But Roelon and I are not."

Falvicar examines Opalina closely, sizing her up and taking note of all the details.

Lithyia says, "But Grutak is still big to me."

Lithyia nods at Opalina.

Tennalnen folds his hands behind his back.

Sorlu gazes in amusement at his surroundings.

Opalina nods at Lithyia.

Lithyia says, "Because I am small."

Roelon chuckles.

Lithyia chuckles.

Teaberry says, "I'm tiny. I know this. But my heart is big."

A massive ice giant emissary says, "...you should go to them instead."

Sorlu nods to the ice giant emissary.

(Falvicar picks up Opalina suddenly and lifts her into the air! "She's bigger now!" he says then grins before placing her back on the ground.)

Speaking to a massive ice giant emissary, Tennalnen asks, "Any chance you know where they can be located?"

Hazelnut says, "That could get ugly."

Roelon closes his eyes for a moment.

Lithyia chuckles.

Roelon nods at Grutak.

Grutak says, "Send a bunch of Giantkin."

Randsford nods at Hazelnut.

Jadedragan exclaims, "We should send someone who can vouch for the actions of the people of Icemule toward groups. Gorga seems to have a good head on her shoulders. I could escort her!"

Speaking to Lithyia, Grutak says, "Nefarious."

Jadedragan coughs.

Speaking to Hazelnut, Tennalnen says, "I would also like to join, if a human would be accepted."

Hazelnut says, "Most of the frost giant holds near to Icemule Trace attack us on sight."

Lithyia nods at Grutak.

Falvicar nods at Sorlu.

Grutak says, "Roelon is the best speaker of the Giantkin."

Alosaka says, "They inhabit the Glatoph and points north, up to the Blue Glacier."

Hazelnut says, "I'll ask Ellerel and Mayor Dabbings. If we could take a portal, or even the White Wyrm, it would be easier on everyone's feet."

Roelon nods at Hazelnut.

Lithyia asks, "Do ice giants, frost giants and fire giants...do they drink?"

Sorlu adopts an agreeable expression.

Tennalnen agrees with Hazelnut.

Teaberry nods at Hazelnut.

Lithyia turns to face a massive ice giant emissary.

Speaking deeply to Hazelnut, Roelon says, "The White Wyrm might be seen as ah threat if we do."

Roelon rubs his chin thoughtfully.


A Show of Strength

Hazelnut says, "And, truth be told, a show of force or magical prowess might be just the thing to get diplomacy on the right track. Frost giants respect strength."

Lithyia grins at Grutak.

Roelon deeply says, "Perhaps if we kin portol close by .."

Roelon nods slowly.

Speaking to Roelon, a massive ice giant emissary says, "If they feel threatened, they will feel less inclined to tear your little heads from your little bodies."

Speaking to Lithyia, Teaberry says, "Bring your still."

Speaking deeply to a massive ice giant emissary, Roelon says, "Ah am quite attached to mah little head fir now."

Teaberry nods at Roelon.

Roelon deeply says, "So indeed, we should take the less invasive route."

Lithyia says, "I prefer Grutak's head stay attached to his body."

Roelon grins.

Teaberry says, "We can do this. And we will."

Lithyia glances at Grutak.

Randsford nods in agreement at Teaberry.

Sorlu nods at Teaberry.

Grutak winks at Lithyia.

Opalina nods.

Lithyia smirks.

Speaking to Hazelnut, Raelee asks, "... is the ship your act of magical prowess?"

Bakarus grins at Roelon.

Falvicar ponders.

Here and there a snowflake flutters down.

Speaking to Raelee, Hazelnut says, "A portal would be that. The ship is... just scary."

Leaning gently against Falvicar, Opalina closes her eyes and sighs contentedly. Falvicar responds by slipping his arm around her.

Dendum says, "So we must punch a giant but not so strong it can't speak when time for speaking comes."

Hazelnut shrugs at Raelee.

Dendum nods.

Jadedragan agrees with Dendum.

Tennalnen grins at Hazelnut.

Jadedragan glances at Dendum.

Lithyia asks, "What kind of booze do ice giants and frost giants like most?"

Speaking to Lithyia, Opalina asks, "Something icy?"

Teaberry says, "I don't think we should do what we didn't like."

Lithyia asks, "Stouts? lagers? ales?"

A massive ice giant emissary says, "I will go with you to see the frost giants. Perhaps the presence of a superior giant will keep them from their usual treachery."

A cloud of dense silvery fog suddenly appears. The fog quickly dissipates to reveal Tikba.

Lithyia ponders.

A capricious wasteland spirit floats in, following Tikba.

Mearyn says, "Gin."

Opalina exclaims, "Maybe they like Icewine!"

Tennalnen waves to Tikba.

Tikba nods in greeting.

Speaking to Teaberry, Grutak says, "Never scared."

Locklyer put a chipped veil iron knuckle-duster in his black leather handwraps.

An occasional snowflake drifts to the ground.

Opalina says, "Im all forit."

A massive ice giant emissary says, "I will go back to town."

A massive ice giant emissary nods.

Dendum nods.

Nalver says, "By."

Lithyia nods at Grutak.

Grutak says, "I already heard."

Lithyia says, "Well..."

Speaking to Queatus, Dendum says, "If we can bring peace between these kin will smooth the path forward."

Opalina picks idly at some sleek selshis skin gloves with kelyn-reinforced knuckles.

Grutak says, "And I put my response up on Clovertooth Hall's door."

Speaking deeply to Jadedragan, Roelon says, "It would of been quite the steamy battle. One ah an glad to hae avoided aye."

Queatus nods at Dendum.

Queatus says, "Indeed."

Lithyia says, "To be fair, I did confront him."

Randsford squints at Grutak.

Speaking to Roelon, Jadedragan asks, "Maybe we could have melted the chains on their hearts with some fiery romance?"

Casinoe's loot sack shifts and rustles a bit, the sounds of high-pitched squeaks emanating from it.

Roelon grins slowly.

Your surroundings blur for a moment . . .

[Ice Garden, Altar - 3369] (u4043801)

Benches of carved ice with seats of wood surround the central altar, bowered with beardtongue shrubs.
