The Esjour Plains
As you progress along the trail, the grass begins thin and shorten, and the ground becomes more rocky over the next two hours. The size of the spire becomes more evident as Kilona neared. Beings could be seen moving around the base of the spire, and around a few structures now more noticeable.
When Kilona gets to be roughly a mile away, she can hear the sound of a horn being sounded. The beings around the spire pause their work to look toward a tower then out beyond this little settlement. Slowly and starting with only a few the being return to their work, though noticeably keeping their eyes on where Kilona is.
At the edge of the settlement Kilona is met by a band of two halflings, a gnome, a few kobolds, and a dwarf. A grey and black scaled kobold steps forward spear at the ready. "Hold up there. Who are you and where are you from? What business do you have here?"
