The West Gate

Marra's Lost Scout in the Pellan Reach

TRAIL · 5 days · moderate

Destination: The apprentice surveyor's last-known camp in the Pellan Reach (and home again)

The central challenge

A five-day round-trip into the Pellan Reach to find a lost apprentice surveyor (or their journal). The midpoint asks the walker to choose between confronting a band camped at the camp or slipping past them.

Marra sent the apprentice -- Iliana -- out three weeks ago for what should have been a ten-day survey. She is overdue. Marra will not say she is worried; she will say the sketches are overdue. -- P
