| Background | 'Our chieftain is testing you, southron? If you are stout of heart, you will prove yourself worthy. If you are not, I do not lie when I say that coming here will be your greatest mistake.
'Some days past, I was surprised by a pair of Wargs among the foothills north of Aughaire. They are vicious, dangerous creatures, and my escape was made more difficult by my refusal to lead the pair by straight paths to the settlement; but this I would not do!
'But I am fleet of foot and know the land hereabout, and I made it back safely, if winded. But the Wargs are newly-arrived to Fasach-larran, and it will not be long before they make it here. Defeat these dangerous creatures! You will find them not only in Fasach-larran, but also within the fortress of Tór Gailvin, north-east of Aughaire. Whether they guard the Trév Duvárdain there or serve as jailors, I do not know, but I know they must be defeated, either way. If you do this, I will tell Crannog of your victory.' |
