Scene 3 - The Ardeyn Run

Accepting your proposal, two of the royal peacemakers saddle talbuk's and ride ahead at an envious speed. Huval and one other also saddle up talbuk's from the peacemakers stables and meet you out front after you've gotten your carriage and driver.

During your journey on the Path of the Dead, you learn that it is so called owing to the low wall that the wall follows. The dead of the Cictadel Hazurrium are interred in the narrow crypts that honeycomb the wall. According to the peacemakers' gossip, the souls of the dead follow the path made by the wall to visit with their loved ones in their dreams. One of the jobs of the peacemakers appears to be a "Dream Patrol" to prevent thefts of corpses by necromancers, and other exploitation. Huval warns you never to sleep to close to the wall, for your nightmares will be terrifying.

Huval, riding beside you, perhaps interpreting the question as directed to him, will shrug. "If she has recovered your device, you might be able to negotiate with her. She is only interested in finding her mother the former queen, whom she believes will be drawn to your device."

Huval grunts. "I am sure I can't say. In my experience, if that is the worst of the outcomes, then absolutely someone will try and use it. Perhaps out of confidence that the result will suit them, of course."
