Day 3
The caravan set out from Westburn, following the Burn River until it reached the village of Abbeyvale late the next day and stopping, once more, to rest. A small village of a few hundred, it was notable only for its eponymous abbey to Delleb, god of sages and study.
This would have been a good place to learn to read - however, the caravan moved on. Further from Westburn the communities came further apart, so it was another five days before the caravan reached the small village of Burn.
Day 8
Burn was even smaller than Abbeyvale, with perhaps half the population - many of whom were bakers, and the various pies and pastries they had to offer were a welcome repast for those who'd been on the road for a week now. For James, Jonny, Ken, and Richard, this was quite the change of pace, the endless walking. Feet were sore. Very sore.
Still, there was no custom to be had here - none that would travel well - so the Caravan pressed on, early in the morning.
Day 12
Tumblebrook was the next stop - smaller than Westburn had been, but a good deal larger than Abbeyvale or Burn, a town rather than a village, sitting on the edge of a lightly wooded area, on the bank of a small lake known as the Long Pond. Local rumor had it that the crystal waters of the Long Pond had therapeutic value - and so it was that the caravan decided to wait a day. Not for the waters, but to buy and sell from the large transient population that gathered for the so-called healing properties of the water.
But only for a single day.
