Spring has returned. As the sun rises the land tries to shake winters chill. The ground still unthawed, and rivers hidden beneath the ice begin to grow. The cold wind blows across the barren land as most life huddles together for warmth. Over head islands of land float quietly by, trailing their shadows behind them. All races feel the change. Everywhere life begins anew. In Neferirkare the may ship captains start by checking the sails and rigging of their vessels. Riders head out dispatched by the many merchants wanting to receive word from their distant suppliers and customers. People with nothing to loose sign themselves to various ships or businesses looking for work. The capitals still hire mercenaries for various security missions for the outlaying border towns/villages. The going reward to those who find a safe path to the east is raised yet again in hopes someone will return with word from their sister capital Ciaro. The signs are hung and the funds are ready to begin your life as an adventurer.....
