Arctos, Correspondence Day
There is one last sight for the fairies to show, here. That is the Deluzion Break itself.
They've all seen the canyon where it splits the cliff face. Now, from a high point, they can see that this canyon extends for miles inland (you have learned by now not to ask Faeries things like "how many miles?") towards a distant mountain.
It's much wider towards the inland side, narrower towards the sea, which, since the sea is downstream, is the reverse of the typical canyon. Close to the Guesthouse, a bridge crosses it. Looks like Dwarven stonework.
The bottom of the canyon, the Faeries say, is most easily accessed from the seacoast, where the stairs reach the bottom... (stairs which have been quickly repaired since they sustained damage in the storm.) That is the best place to kick off any exploration of the canyon itself.
Sometime later, back at the Guesthouse, after they have finished the tour...
The Montebon patrol ship captained by the Baroness Nina Arcour is back, dropping off, among other things, letters. Montebon has a very simple mail system: you can send a letter to a port, where the captain will see to its delivery to a chosen harbor side guesthouse- at most stops, only one per port has this privilege. If you are expecting a letter, you stop in from time to time and check. There are shelves in the Guesthouse where Fairies are placing letters to the Dwarves, and to Stonebell.
A few have arrived for Arcto himself, and he is reading through him.
"How do they always know where I am?" the old man grumbles. He takes a letter, reading: "Dear Sir Arcto, you are my last hope... this is from Fidelis! They've got a whole Order full of Paladins, if I am the last hope someone is in big trouble. And this is from the Queen..."
"I think the Queen knows where you are, dear," Cornelia, his wife, notes.
"Well, yes, she does. She's reminding me that the Baron of Sanzi would like support for another trek to his favorite mountain pass."
"Yes, because you didn't respond to the Baron," Cornelia says.
"He should leave that pass alone, for now. It was very costly. And it's got Windrazers," Arcto says.
Zynobia, in her shop, joins in. "I recall you considered them more of an annoyance than a hazard."
"That was then," Arcto says. "Now, getting dressed is an annoyance."
The old man turns to the Guesthouse guests present. "If you will pardon my demeanor... and pardon our esteemed Queen as well... she has the peculiar idea that if she keeps sending us what she calls the young and bold and restless, sooner or later I am going to conjure up the people who will do things the way we used to here. Her offer of free lodging, you see, is not out of simple generosity. Don't get me wrong, there are no obligations on your part. But the queen holds out hope. I do not."
