Leto Delphi looked over her people and her supplies. Just above half of the original united freehold populations remained. Not all left by choice; the old and injured were unable to the long, perilous journey and needed to stay at the nearest haven. Most of their original supplies went with them as barter in the arrangement. However, the high-lands were their home, and forage came easy. Druids, who referred to themselves as the Guiding Lights, flocked to her, additionally replenishing her population and supplies. A few mentioned that they had mentors who had settled in the city to the west known as Ha-Duna and that they would be happy to supply the pilgrimage and offer she could hardly ignore. One of the pressing issues dividing her followers was a matter of religion. Everyone had their own opinion, and it threatened to destroy whatever sense of community lingered. At one point, she needed to have two way-finders separated as people worried about the severity of their argument. The druids were odd, as that very night, the same ones were laughing over drinks. To make peace, the worship of the druidic gods and the god of perfection, the goddess of love and the goddess of flame, shall not be discouraged. Nobody was satisfied with it, but it quelled the tension. After some travel, they arrived at the Constellar Lodge. A wooden longhouse out of the walls of Ha-Duna. While her druidic followers had spoken of Ha-Duna, she had a more in-depth talk with one of the Constellars named Cionn. Cionn, who was born from the Gaardskarls, guided her through the city. As they went to enter the city, they saw cow-pulled plows drove the soil of the fields. Going through the market to barter for supplies, they saw men smugly and lazying smoking a drowsing herb, and more practical men admired the new craftsmanship of glasswork. Finally, the stopped by the circle of the gods to ask that the gods bless the journey, she saw druids admiring a mirror, although she could tell it was different from admiring mundane crafts. While Cionn as a translator, she spoke with one of the druid attendants about herself, Elysium and Ketrafa. At one point in the conversation, she slightly confused when the Long Strider suggested they travel north. After the confusion resolved, there was a mild tension, but it ended peacefully with him helping with the prayer, before being escorted back to the lodge. The Constellars spent a large amount of wealth, supplying them with food, clothing, and simple tools, and pull carts. Delphi expressed concern about this. Cionn explained the resthouse system, how they had used their wealth to be independent of it as a matter of pride, but that it would mean they wouldn't starve. They managed to leave, handing southward towards the lowlands, on relatively good terms. But the day before they left, they heard rumors that floated around them, such as that one of their babies was cursed to become a monster and that they Taeg-Eit was displeased with them, but also that the Leto was blessed by Seeros, or they were accompanied by an ancient folk hero that saught after Elysium long ago and never returned. The arch-druids clearly stated that such gossip was nonsense. [hider=Story] The Leto lost a significant portion of population and supplies as people were unable or unwilling to follow her, however, this was made up by Druids of the Guiding Light joining her and by foraging. Her new druidic followers suggest heading west to Ha-Duna to resupply before traveling south, which she agrees to. There are internal tensions over religion, which the Leto attempted to ease by allowing the worship of the druidic gods and the five with the exception of Tekret, without making any further decisions about how to restructure the faith, easing tensions but leaving everybody unsatisfied. They arrive at Ha-Duna and the Constellar Lodge, a place where old and injured Constellars retire to, and they meet Cionn who is now a Constellar. They visit Ha-Duna, buying supplies at the market and giving prayers at the holy circle and notice various happenings around the city. They left on fairly good terms, but there are rumors regarding potential curses that lay upon them and the divine nature of their quest, which the archdruids deny.
