A caravan wound its way along the Knights' Road. It was one of many that did merchant circuits. It had a few knights helping to escort it along, many beasts of burden weighed down by goods, wagon wheels creaking under the weight. It was a very jovial atmosphere. The merchants always did well, transferring goods from village to village, having just come from Scream Watch and Ruby Banks. There were songs and smiles around. 

In addition to the small contingent of knights, and the many merchants, the caravan had several citizens, some moving, others simply traveling. There was no cost for this, unless you didn't bring your own food and shelter, and those were readily sold by the men of coin, often marked up just a bit more than normal. It was just good business, as well as a mild punishment to those that traveled unprepared. 

The sun shone bright, the wind was light and refreshing, the morning chill lingering as winter began her slow embrace of the land. The Sergeant Knight that led the squadron, a unit of twenty-five knights, was a male Hill Giant, ten feet tall, with shining gloriously in his massive Ebonsteel armor. He carried a large spiked metal club, and walked along the side of the caravan, an imposing figure. 

Many of the civilians and merchants were chatting amongst themselves, as they rode their horses, sat in their wagons, and walked along with the caravan. One of these was a young pixie, fluttering her wings as she looked down at another of the fey races. He was a Kumui, of white linen, in the form of a fox. Kamui were rare in this realm, but had been abundant in the Feywild, or so her parents had told her. [color=f6989d][i][b]"So, Stormgaze, why is it you're joining us toward Azure Strand? Why leave the excitement of Scream Watch for the impoverished fishing village?"[/b][/i][/color]
