The Old Capital

From the very start, we worried everything we knew was wrong. Only forest stood where the old capital was supposed to be. Was it fully destroyed? Did our records deceive us? But then the scouts told us they felt the treelines felt wrong, and we suspected, hoped, that the answer was more simple. Not a destroyed city, but an overgrown one.   We now have found roads. It is time to explore, make our way towards where it once stood, pray we find objects and knowledge we can make good use of. But we will do so slowly. There can be countless dangers in these forests, so we want to find as many of them as we can. That way, there will be less chance that we will get attacked from behind, or future caravans disrupted. The road will be winded, but that is an acceptable price to pay for a sense of security.
