Therion's Dutchy - The Dark Altar
"Truth be told, I'm fresh off the road by a day or so. Mairen here was kind enough to fill me in on some of the greater details. Word traveled fast of a battle in Therion. A battle against an valaruakar army no less. For one, I had to see it for myself. Granted, I didn't cover enough ground fast enough to do much good". Ryland runs a hand through his hair, dropping his instrument from his other hand. It evaporates in the same teal colored light that gave birth to it. "Secondly, I'm a troubadour. I travel, I entertain, I make my coin. Through me, people get their current events, and they keep in touch with the world around them. So, naturally curiosity tugged me along every step of the way here. And so far, it's all been true. Strange weapons that belt fire. Green-skins massing up for a fight. And a band of heroes, triumphantly leading the charge on a suicide mission that ultimately broke the war-beast's back. I've even gleaned an interesting tidbit from a guard or two about a certain duchess taking up temporary residence here. Though that's none of my concern really until it's no longer relevant; wouldn't want to spill the ale on that to the public. Ah, listen to me now, I'm rambling. I should just stick to my music".
