The mainland was interesting. Different, weird, and irrational but interesting. The best part was that people were not as concerned with spirits as his own. You would think they didn't even realize spirits existed and inhabited the world around them for all the care they gave. Actually, they probably didn't....
Caddell had found his way to this area between the Spine, supposed the largest mountains in the entire world in every way, and this region known as the Reach. What was it reaching for? The Spine? Hah!
The young mage sat at a bench in a town tavern. He couldn't remember the name of either the town nor the tavern. getting lost weeks earlier, he wasn't even entirely sure where exactly he was at. He just went out this way to see the Spine and visit this dwarf city that everyone talked about. Along the way he mixed up a few landmarks and ended up here. Nothing a chat with a few locals couldn't fix!
As Caddell enjoyed his, cabbage?, soup, he overheard a pair of drunks talking. One of them was ranting on and on about how his cousin is having a cursed baby because she had gotten a potion from some weird woman. The potion was interesting as it seems it boosted fertility. The guy was convinced it was evil however and described the woman as a witch. His friend and fellow drunk just kept trying to get him to stop talking about it. Something about being turned into a deer or a toad if he didn't. It got his curiosity going. This sort of magic was the kind he enjoyed and could do, outside of the whole spirit magic thing, so it would be fascinating to see how she did it. Was it more like alchemy or enchanting?
After a few rounds of drinks and a bit of prodding, Caddell learned where this woman lived at. She wasn't too far away. A couple days journey following the river would get him to the town and he could learn directions there. This is exactly what he did. With the location now known, he set out to go meet with her. Hopefully she was as interesting as all the rumors made her out to be.
