The Rugged Coast (Main)
The centaur's musings were not quite complete, however, for his mind turned over the other names mentioned in the letter as well.
"Lothien. Hmmm...
"The only Lothien that cometh to mind was a Silvanesti cleric of Mishakel, tied to Kayleigh Starfinder of the royal house of Silvanesti, if mine memory of the tales is accurate. Back, back, before the War of the Lance. The pair worked together to cleanse Silvanesti of the morass causethed by the Nightmare King Lorac, when he was tricked and betrayed, and spread horrors unnamed across their lands." The centaur pursed his lips, half-closing his eyes as he cast his mind back upon some tome or scroll he had read, or a recounting he had heard. "As I recall, they were interrupted in their efforts. She was slain - by a powerful Death Knight, I believe it was. A sad tale of two proud people forced together, finding a love and common purpose, only to then be riven apart.
"I cannot recall mention of her past that point, which is troubling to mine ear to hear suggestion that she remains now, but as a -usurper, thou said? To an evil god as Chemosh? Troubling, indeed. A possibility there is another by the same name... but something within feeleth 'tis not a separate personage."
The centaur waved away the cobwebs of stories of yesteryear, and gestured ahead to the ogre city. "In any event, if none here beith familiar with its location, we may yet findeth its location within the city - perhaps with what we seek of the Alignment magics, or unguents or cleaning agents to restoreth this most excellent work of history."
