It was at moons highest when a lone passenger with a wide brimmed hat stepped off a barge at the poor excuse of a port this town had to offer. The captain of the barge called out to the man. 

"You sure about this, Roy? This land would eat you alive if the locals don't get to you first!" The lone passenger turns to talk to the captain. 

[color=orange]"I have no choice, old friend. The curse will take me and many others within a year. I need to find a way to break the curse...and the ruins holds the answer."[/color] He could not fail this endeavor. For the sake of his countrymen. For his family. For his wife. 

[color=orange]"Return here in two months on the same day and time. If I do not return by a week's end. Assume the worst has happened and leave."[/color] 

"Roy..." He closes his eyes and opens them with a steely determination. He places a closed fist onto his chest and speaks. "King and Queen Guide you, Roy."

Roy smiles and returns the gesture in kind. [color=orange]"And may the stars always guide you, Erik."[/color]

Roy then walked away from the port and into the town proper. Through the filthy and almost desolate streets of Brighthaven he walked...a vile and wretched place he was forced to reside in until he could accompany a group of adventurers to the ruins, or at the very least a map with legible writing and drawings. Until then, this rat infested corpse of a town would be his base of operations until that day comes.
