'That valley looks like a good place to start.'
The ground trembled as Avrae hurriedly rolled to his feet. 'Have you two began planning without me?'
'We wouldn't dream of it, big guy. Now, a promise is a promise,' I set the tablet down at the foot of the path, right before it opened up to a valley surrounded by more mountains. 'I am surprised, though. The Dragon Knights tripled the size of their settlement, but they left this land bare? It's prime territory as well, what do you think?'
Avrae was already eying up the mountain peaks, no doubt thinking of where he might create his new perch, while Stormfall shrugged, the steam billowing from her nostrils. 'I say we get started, and if it turns out to be a poison chalice, then we deal with it.'
That simplified things, so I conjured sheets of paper and a pen. 'Both of you, crowd in and tell me what you want this place to be, right down to the tiniest detail.'
