Brandon made his way to New Beginning with only three other people, each one he trusted. There was Ja'qe (shock), a middle aged man who stood about a good to heads taller then he. He was a burly man with a rough beard and bushy brows. He headed Caldun, the small city of hunters who specialized in trapping, weapons, and other things of the sort. Ja'qu and Brandon had often hunted together when he was younger, and was surprised to find that he was rather gentle underneath all of that rough exterior. This did not mean he wasnt strong. He was a master planner, akin to a head wolf almost. Then there was Kyle, a somewhat lanky man well into his years. He lead the largest of Weldenvardens cities, Tartarus. He didnt look like much, but he was one of the best navigators and fisherman you can find, and was the head of the entire islands trade system. Without Kyle their trade would have been weaker then it was now. Finally, there was William. William was actually the same age as Brandon and was the closest person to him. the two had grown up as playmates and eventually a scientific team. the two alone had helped increase much of the tech of weldenvarden, and with the help of South dawn's city of inventors, William led the island into a better age of tech. the four of them talked about why the leader of New Beginning would call upon them. they hadnt really been a major power nor a great economic power. what reason could they possible invite Weldenvarden for? The conversation lasted well into their travel to said city, and even as they entered the rooms that they were given to rest when they arrived. in the end they decided just to wait and see what would happen with the coming events.
