I thought they were around all the time?

They could step on it and like, lose all MOV on a frantic, instantenous disarming before it goes off under their feet

The silence lasted for few seconds.

"So, which one of you can read?" Eleonore took a deep breath.

"I'm still intending to read the history books in the Archives, wherever they are. I know that Halldora can read and I assume Colt can too, considering he is a magician. What about others?"

Recruitment for NEF2 is closed.

Altmorin is gonna be full-fledged NPC that will join the party soon.

The Princess and her group were given a warm meal and comfy beds. For the night, they were able to sleep, besides those who might be haunted by dreams of the past.

In the morning, very early that's it, Prince Asoth have taken the group further south-east. The woods gave way to farmlands and pastures, but strangely there was not a single village. One hour after sighting the first farmlands, a city appeared on the horizon. Prince Asoth was recognized immediatelly and the city watch gave him a salute, not even asking his companions their names.

The city wasn't anything like Eferian city. The buildings weren't made of bricks and wood, covered with inclined roofs. Instead, they were made of stone or white, smooth material, almost like paper. The roofs, often flat had little balconies and towers, and some even had something akin to battlements - that's it, high stone 'teeth' with thin slits between each one of them.

There was also a lack of churches of any kind. Every building was different, true, but there were no grandiose temples of any kind, nothing that would resemble a circular shrine. Compared to the Eferian cities, there was also a lot of marble statues, representing - according to plaques - that or other Rivan Emperor or general or admiral or explorer or arcane professor, their personas forever memorialized in stone.

"Please excuse us for a moment. Me and Altmorin have to go and check-in with the garrison's clerks and report what have happened."

"Prince... I--"

"Do not worry. I will mention you as simple group of traveling scholars. Your... 'secret', if we can call it that, will be safe." Eleonore looked after the Prince until he turned corner, and then she looked around.

"Not a single tree boulwark, not a single speck of dirt. Not a blade of grass peeking through the stones under our feet... No colorful bazaar tents, no temples with stained glass windows... everything is uniformly white or grey. Oh, how can people live in this... this dreaded, cold place." She took a shy glances at passing townsfolk, who wore simple linen clothes, white or brown, or grey, or black. No green, no yellow, no red nor blue threads in their suits.

Eleonore shook her head.

Twang the axeman.

Also if you're wondering:

Yes, we're entering a period of lengthy talking, backstories, histories, shoppings and support makings. I don't think we will get to another Chapter in a week or so, but who knows

Shush!

Party Gold have been added to OP post; unlike FEF, in NEF you guys have a single bag of gold. 1000 drop from Yopp + 250 gold from Cidney's scavenging, if I counted that right.
