Hmm, I like the idea of them going to a more populated city. Maybe they can get a taste of what it feels like when people don't care who you are or where you came from, unlike the town they just left from lol 

Also, do you have an idea of where you want the evil necromancer to be? Should I just have Allura locate him and then you can have your character lead the way? (Maybe ill have her scribble the way to the necromancer into a stone or on a piece of paper or something)
