Dawn was not far off, that much Thora knew. She could feel it in her bones. It was only fortunate that the gates of Amaryth weren't sealed shut at night. But then, the guards had no reason to do so. The whole nation was infected with a serious case of peace, so aside from minor border skirmishes to the south and west, there was no conflicts at all in the entire kingdom.

Thora made her way through the gate, seeking to find an inn before the sun rose, for in her weeks of journeying, she had found that it was much better to travel at night, when the sun could not hurt her eyes. Looking back, she saw that there were several soldiers stationed upon the walls, but that the walls also bore signs of disrepair. Or at least she thought they did, not knowing anything about fortifications. There certainly weren't enough soldiers there to defend the walls properly should anyone hostile come calling, but she supposed the barracks held more.

Making her way into the city, she went deeper, searching for an inn that was open. It took her a long time to find anything, for almost all were closed down still. Or full, of course. There were some strange posters about, but she could not understand them, as she couldn't read. There were some fancy drawings of warriors sparring, so she guessed that could possibly be about some tournament or somesuch, considering that war wasn't likely. It had to be one of those. Or it could be some armorer's advertisement. Truthfully, she really had no idea what it was, and there were none around to ask.

First order of business would be to find a decent inn for the morning. Second order of business would be to find someone to help her understand the relic. Should be simple enough, she thought. She'd crossed the entire city, arriving down near the docks before she found an inn with any room left. Guessing from the sign, she thought the name might be 'the gutted Karak'. At least that's what it looked like.

The room wasn't particularly large or clean, but at least it had a bed and curtains to ward out the morning light. That would have to serve for now. She didn't care if anyone found it odd that she'd go to sleep with the sunrise. She was rather tired and needed the rest. Especially since she'd have to go out later in the daylight, something she did not look forward to.
