OOC: Intorducing Iar Gullic, the new high mage
While the group had been out and about adventuring and conducting diplomacy, they had put out a call for arcane users to come along and hopefully set up a wizard or magical equivalent in the area in order to provide expertise and guidance in the arcane.
Iar Gullic was a wizard who had expressed interest in the invitation and so far had proven himself to be a capable and reliable member of the group. While it was still too early to start bestowing ranks and titles upon his shoulder he seemed the clear frontrunner in line to fill the position in their court and expeditions like this were part of the process the rest of the group could use to fully vet the new member.
The party rides out West to continue exploring their surroundings. Scouts had been sent out but had reported strange fey occurrences in this area and so the leaders brought it on themselves to explore the area fully.
The trees part to reveal a peaceful forest glade dappled with sunlight. A small pond lies placidly at the roots of an enormous oak tree with a scattering of leaves floating upon its surface. Birdsong twitters from the branches high above.
