There was no chance for Alex to approach Frostbate directly, given the animosity they carried for him. As such, Edric and the co arrived in Swortine.
It was the closest nation to Grimland and the safest for Alex, considering the security wasn't excessively firm around the place.
Celestria and Amanda were inside a carriage; given their peculiar hair and delicate features, it was not possible not to attract attention.
Edric and Valerie were pulling the carriage as they halted before the security gate of Swortine,
"State your purpose and provide an identity."
Valerie glanced at Edric upon hearing the guard's demand.
The identity proof they have would probably reveal their connection to Grimland.
And there was a chance for Eryndor to find out about their stay in Swortine and send his forces.
