― You speak our tongue beautifully, better than anyone in this village, I would say. Chief caught a glimpse of shame in Jod's eye, so this day was improving rapidly. I'm the Chief of this village, and you can go ahead and call me Chief. We're used to travelers passing this village for the Temple, so it's surprising to see Stoneshod headed anywhere else. ― You speak our tongue beautifully, better than anyone in this village, I would say.
― I have studied Dwarrowspeak, yet I find myself embarrassed not to know the languages here. As I tried to tell your man there, the Stoneshod said, gesturing at Kab, I am President Calvin of Galvarelli. I seek passage to Mountberg, and aid from the dwarrowfolk to find an end to the Witchfen Meadowlark. Chief caught a glimpse of shame in Jod's eye, so this day was improving rapidly.

We're used to pilgrims here, so it's surprising to see visitors going anywhere else.
Although, I must admit, it's surprising to see yaks here at all.

I seek passage to Mountberg, and aid from the dwarrowfolk.
It's a matter of the utmost importance.

Would you care to stay here until tomorrow?
―If it would be no burden, it would be a great gift.
We ran into unexpected trouble at the Sea-Gate, and the rest would be appreciated.
―I think we would be happy to accommodate all of you.
Kab, please escort His Presidency to the guest quarters.
We'll send someone over to call you later on, perhaps to dine with me.
Kab led the yaks into the hallway deeper into the village.
Jod looked grumpy.
―Chief, what are we doing?
Mountberg isn't going to let us open a Path anywhere.
Chief sighed.
―I know.
And it's not just any yak, either.
Do Presidents just show up at random towns?
You knew what he was wearing, right?
That's the Helm of the Second Compact.
Jod's look of shock was worth the terrible situation.
―Chief, if he's wearing it...
Chief hummed to himself, and nodded.
―Jod, I think you should plan to wake Omig up.
And get your charts ready.
Whatever's coming, the two of you should be ready.
Maybe see if we can send them to the Temple.
Even if they're not making the pilgrimage, the Elder Beast there might know more about yak problems.
Jod nodded, and left.
Damn yaks, Chief thought.
He started for the kitchens, hoping they had any sort of idea what yaks ate.
