General Summary
One might mistake the Sellen Hills for an uninhabited region, but this would be folly. This fierce and savage countryside is the home to many of Numeria's barbarian tribes. These Kellid's are mostly nomadic and roam the surroundings at will, sometimes across the borders into the River Kingdoms and beyond. River traffic is almost constant up and down the Sellen River from Hajoth Hakados to the great city of Chesed. The streams of soldiers and crusaders heading north mostly keep the Technic League at bay, but even though it has little power here, the League’s presence can still be felt.

Pauldris Gray
Worked with the League
Thought I was doing some good for a while
They bring in all sorts of people, you look at them, see if they fit your needs
Got in an argument with one of them, about a young girl
He wanted to experiment on her
Wanted to make homunculi
I couldn't leave this girl at it, couldn't let her suffer like the others had
Took her, left Starfall, hid in Chesed for years
Took on the name Khonnir Baine, named her Val
Eventually moved South, travelled the river, ended in Torch
She was maybe 4/5 at that stage
Integrated well with the kids, always some coming and going
Town took a shining to me
I'm trying to make up for mistakes I've made
Update him
While he was out, the League was in Torch
10 months before the TL takes Torch
"There's ? in Unity"
Those who spend too in Silver Mount, find Hope
SM is a place where a lot of voices, a lot of tech can be found
Those that wander the corridors, folks down there for months or two months, eventually somebody "finds hope"
Hope like Unity or Divinity
What happened under the Torch?
Skirmish just outside the metal wall
Got knocked down, dragged in
Remembers seeing something with 3 legs, didn't look human
Out cold for a while, but when they got out, they found
LoR were screaming "Power and Destiny"
Destiny was the name of the ruin
Sending Power to Hellion
Strange, even for LoR

Had d
How much was your bounty?
Well you know Ghartone
A go-between the BS and the TL
K knows about Ghartone
Around when K was 7/8
Gh got caught in that explosion
Kh caused it?
We tell K to stay in Torch and prepare what's coming
S: It controls people, it controls their minds; it's easier for them to do that, like the chips
T: Not too unlike how the zealots of Hellion behave.
Kh: Silver Mount's likely got something to do with it. Those folks who found Hope, maybe what writings were there.
S: Still signed by Garmen, so he may switch sides, even if he doesn't want to.
Kh: I'll make sure he stays here.
Scrapwall
Not been often

Horses are not acting like horses
Horses just stayed where they were
Horse body active, horse brain not

Track of smaller horses going away from the camp, away from Torch
Probably broke camp this morning

K destroys most of them
S takes one and destroys it; symbolic after everything she's seen

Not a threat; scare him anyway
