Sheid emerged from the hull of his personal ship, the bright sun scorched his eyes and brought sweat from his brow, he'd never been this far south before.  The ship was a ways off from the port but it could be seen just over the horizon, a seagull crowed, Sheid brought himself up to the front of the ship and leaned over the side to view the blue sea.  The ocean in Saldome was full of ice and felt uninviting whereas the sea here seems welcoming, almost pulling Sheid in.
"Ser, we should arrive in a moment, take the time to get dressed and I'll ready the horse." a young man had said from behind, Sheid pulled himself up and pulled his arm up to block the sun.
[color=0054a6]"yeah, alright."[/color]

A crewman pulled a plank over the side of the ship and Sheid stomped down into the port, his horse close behind, a squad of lightly geared knights followed close behind with their own mounts, one sniffed the air and spat.
"It reeks of beast, my piss smells better.", Sheid surveyed the area, the populace was eyeing them.  A knight revealed a banner which he placed in a pouch on his belt, sticking it in the air, he red and black blot out the Praelian sun making the populace cringe.
[color=0054a6]"get over it, you'll be smelling more of it later when we find an inn."[/color], the sun began to set as the nine men stumbled through the streets, still tired from the sea, no inn would take them, either saying they were full or blatantly saying they didn't serve Saldomans.  Then, like at the docks, the knight sniffed and spat.
"I smell the dead...", ahead were two figures, one seemingly holding a body on his shoulder, around them were a few more figures, armed, and reeked of death.
