Hey Yo! NerdRyuu back for the this month's chapter of Udan's Legends! Last chapter Lori became officially Yound's Jarl and we met Samantha Sharp and Luna Acai! Now we resume our story! but before, let's get a look on this week's questions!

Guest99: Do you plan on adding any monster girls like a Succubus?

Not really, well, if you don't count the standard fantasy races of Elves ,Orcs and Dwarves, the subject of other intelligent races in Udan is explained in this very chapter, so I won't elaborate further.

Engineer1869: How is Lori's Kengengan not just another form of banned school of magic manipulation?

I kind of glossed over, but Lori's power only works in people directly under her in a hierarchal latter and the order is forced just upon one's body but not mind, it can force a person's body to act without the command of the person, this extends to what a person say, but the mind of the person itself it's not affected, the manipulation school bends one's mind and will to obey you. it, as the name implies, manipulates the mind, and this is the difference.

Dimitri Gomez: Is Lori going to appear more in the future or will she just be an occasional character from now on?

For the immediate future she wont appear much really, but the plan is to everyone of the Loud girls to be important in the future, but since the narrative structure of the story is sort off based by One Piece, it may take some time until Lori's role gets continued.

And so, without any further ado, let's start this!

DISCLAIMER: I do NOT own The Loud House


"Can you explain to me again why I can't wear my regular clothes?" Samantha asked, wearing black clothes with a cyan coat.

"Well, no one in the city may recognize you, but the guard sure will! You need to he like me, blend in!" Luna explained. Samantha lifted a eyebrow. She didn't knew if purple was good color to blend in. Samantha sighed.

"Well, I liked at least. And I loved the hair dye!" She said combing with her fingers the single lock of hair Luna had dyed cyan.

"Okay, as long we don't came face to face with a guard, we're going to be fine, let's go Sam." Luna said, looking out of the alley they were, the nickname surprised Samantha.

"Sam?" She repeated the nickname. Luna nodded, turning back to Sam.

"A alias is essential to keep yourself incognito. Now Sh!" Luna said ducking, Sam, although confused, did the same, seconds later, a trio of guards passed the alley running. They were in a hurry, the sun had just risen, and with that, the discovery of Samantha's disappearance.

"How did you knew those guards were approaching?" Sam asked amazed, but Luna ignored the question, keeping a look from the edge of the alley.

"There's a group of people on that island. Those stands… It may be a marketplace." Luna deduced to herself. "The guards were rounding the people there. Probably providing orders for them." She continued.

"Maybe this was a bad idea." Sam spoke gloomily, looking to the floorboards below her feet.

"Don't worry Princess, with just need to avoid the guards for a little more, then we can pretend we're just other people on the street."

"Then, what are we going to do?"

"Hm…" Luna looked down from the alley again and saw a building, two islands down that had a hanging sign above the door. Inn, it read carved in the wood . By the front facing window, she saw another sign, that one hand written. Need entertainer.

Luna's mouth curled upwards as she had an idea that both of them would like.


"What you wanted to talk Lady Cass?" Lincoln asked as he entered Lady Cass' study. It was like they had left the day before, completely trashed and destroyed. The mage had a broom on her hands and was sweeping the broken glass, ingredients fragments and viscous liquid residue from the floor. "Oh, let me help you." He said picking the other broom she had left resting against the wall behind the door.

"That broom isn't for sweep." Cass said without looking to Lincoln. The boy looked at the broom on his hand that made a short shake before it shot from his hand, twisting in the air and flying off the window, breaking the glass in the process. Lincoln winced.

"Sorry." He said sheepishly Cass shrugged before stopping sweeping and turning to Lincoln.

"It's fine Snowtop. It's not because this I called you." Cass spoke holding the broom like a cane.

"Oh, So, what is it then?" The bot asked.

"Mr. McBride commented to me yesterday that you have the ambition of becoming our next Arch-Mage." She answered. Lincoln scratched the back of his neck.

"Well, not necessarily the next one, but yes." Lincoln confirmed.

"However he also said you worship Lady Maja." Lincoln almost immediately nodded fiercely.

"Her speech of wisdom and compassion, resonates with my core." He said before making a deep breath and making a smile. "Knowledge is strength, and the strong has the responsibility to help the weak, by helping them become stronger." Cass laughed, not a mocking or scorn laugh, but a laugh from whom knows exactly what the other meant.

"Those are the words of Maja alright." She commented putting one hand in her hip. "Tell me kid, this may be a strange question, but it's one you would hear someday anyways." Lincoln leaned forward slightly, ready to answer. "Are you ready to one day take a life?"

Lincoln didn't moved for what seemed a eternity. That had to be one of the last things he would imagine she would ask. The shock and uncertainty of what respond to such question. "Say what?" Was everything he could must for the time being.

Cass made a deep sad sigh. Maja, the goddess of Wisdom, Knowledge and Compassion preached that every life was sacred. From the smallest of the insects to the biggest of the giants, every life was equal in the eyes of The Great Trinity. And so, every life mattered. And the ones that took a life defied The Great Trinity directly.

Lincoln swallowed a lump on his throat. He didn't knew what to answer. Could he? Could he take a life? Lincoln bit his lower lip.

"I-I don't know what to respond Lady Cass. He spoke finally. "However, I know the value of a life. And I'll say to you. You will never hear of a death from me." Lincoln said puffing his chest. Cass lifted a eyebrow.

"You do know that in the path you are following you'll find lots of adversaries." She warned. "And you can't just forget that one of the schools of magic is destruction." Lincoln lowered his head, before she could speak again, he raised his head back with a confident smile.

"I'll figure out something." She scoffed and his confidence.

"Then… I think this may help you." She said leaving the broom resting on a closet and grabbing something from a cabinet on her desk.

It was a old tablet carved from a gray marble like stone. She then showed the front to Lincoln. It had engraved on it a small sequence of lines and curves than entwined and crossed each other in an asymmetrical rune.

Lincoln never had studied ancient runes, but with the little he knew, that pattern was different from how runes were made by the ancient citizens of Udan.

But he knew what that rune meant. Like your own name after you just wrote it. How? The boy knew with certainty he never saw that rune on his entire life.

His eyes rotated like a gear while he had that on his sight, the yellow pattern on it absorbed that image.

"Do you know what this is?" Cass asked simply.

"The Dragon language." Lincoln responded. That sensation was the same as the one he had when he heard the dragon speaking. He just knew what it meant. Was that another consequence of him being a Dragon-Tongue? Cass nodded.

"Miss Griffinheart slipped that you also we're a Dragon-Tongue, and I figured out that this could help you." She explained. "This is a fragment of the Dragon Mural. A ancient piece of work that it's said to tell the story of the dragons of Udan. However it's written in the Dragon speech and for a millennia the people that wrote it and the only ones that could read it, were extinct. But you're here now." She offered the piece of tablet to Lincoln, who approached and carefully grabbed.

"A fragment?" Lincoln repeated. Cass nodded.

"The Dragon Mural laid on the Windholm Castle before the Legendary War. During the war, the mural was shattered and it's pieces got scattered around all over the continent. A thousand years later, they're in places like here." She told. Lincoln read the rune again.

"It is know what it read?" He asked the Sage. Cass laughed.

"Oh ho ho, No! That knowledge was lost to time. You're really the only one that could read it if it was whole. There's only one little part of the mural that is known, because it's allegedly the only part written in Udanese and it's also the only piece that has been saved from the Windholm Castle. Now that piece rests with our Arch-Mage in Windholm Fortress, in the exact same place it was for almost a thousand years ago." She explained. Lincoln frowned his eyebrows in determination.

"Well, I decided. I'll also look to restore the mural! I swear!" He announced with determination.

Cass put her fingers over her lips with curiosity. Every minute that passed that boy made her more curious. Maybe could actually become that Arch-Mage after all.

But what Lincoln had in mind wasn't exactly the confidence he appeared to have. He was actually deeply worried about what the tablet had written, and what it meant. Not for literally what was written, but the in which context it was written in.

?-the end-?


"Okay, you actually have a problem." Carol said opening Udan's map that laid on Youndfaith's mansion's war room. Jarl Lori, Lincoln, Clyde and Lynn also we're there.

"The courier's message from Willfoe towers was clear." Carol pointed to small cross marks on the map to northeast of Youndorf, one at each side end of the crude drawing of a ravine that crossed a great part of that region of Udan, separating the north and south of the west of Udan, from the mountain ranges of Windholm at the center of the continent, extending almost all the way to west, ending into the Eirow Valley, where Sarphel lake and the floating city of same name was situated.

"The bridge of Willfoe that connects the borders of the Aramas Ravine fell." She concluded.

"Crap." Lynn said lifting her finger up to her lips, concerned about the route thou would need to take now that the bridge fell.

"The bridge was the shortest and easiest route to the Windholm Fortress." She said out loud.

"The only option you have is going northwest, along the Ravine, and cross it via the ravine. You may stop at Sarphel." Lori pointed to the cross at the shore of the lake of same name. "To resupply and take a boat across the lake." Lynn was about to agree, but then noticed a small cross by east of the Willfoe towers.

"Hey, how about the Udettal Caves?" She pointed out. "Doesn't it have a end by the base of Windholm?"

Carol winced. "It indeed has and it is a shortcut through the underground. However in the last months, several passages of the cave system have been infested by Cytinn nests. My mother ordered the entryway on our borders to be blocked for the time being to ensure that none of Cycatas or Beezoar to escape the caves and attack a village." Lynn and Lincoln gulped. Cytinns were indeed a deal breaker. One Cycata, a very large cicada looking insect was tough enough, but imagining a entire nest sent chills onto Lincoln's neck.

"Well, we'll have to take the long route then." Lynn said, her fingers over her lips again.

"You'll have to be careful though." Lori said. "It's very dangerous by nightfall, wolves, saber tigers, bears and other creatures are out, not mentioning about the gangs of night raiders and bandits that wait for travelers to set for the night to attack."

Lynn pursed her lips. She was absolute right. And she didn't liked it.

"Sarphel isn't that far." Clyde interjected finally. "Linc's spirit horses are very fast and don't need rest. If you leave immediately, by my calculations, you'll be able to reach Sarphel in the evening, there you can find a inn to sleep."

"That's a sound idea." Lincoln spoke, looking at Lynn. The knight stood in silence, analyzing the map, making a rough calculation of the route, and time they had. It would be a long day, they would take about 12 to 13 hours to get there without any stop. This wouldn't be a hard job for the spirit horses, but it would be hell on them. Lynn sighed.

"It's decided then." She said defeated.


"You have everything?" Clyde asked as they arrived at the main gates of Youndorf. Lincoln nodded and motioned his shoulder to the magic satchel he had.

"Everything, spare clothes, for both me and Lynn, tent, sleeping bags, food, water, the gold your father generously offered us, thank you again, Lynn's other armor set and weapons, my study books everything. Oh, and even the Dragon Tablet." He listed.

"Take care buddy." Clyde said raising his fist for a fist bump, however Lincoln hugged him instead. Clyde was surprised but smiled and returned the hug.

"You too Clyde, Eriol and Yound's safety are counting on the alliance you'll be negotiating." Lincoln said as they parted.

"And Udan counts on you to warn the Arch-Mage." Clyde spoke back. Lincoln nodded. "May Maja be with you."

"Always." Lincoln completed.

"Oh, and also, bye to you too Lynn." He added looking at the young knight. Lynn made a small nod with a smile.

"Good luck in your mission Lincoln." Lori wished as she stepped forward. "Your mission is essential for the wellbeing of the entire continent." Lincoln nodded.

"As the Jarl, it's also yours Lori." Lori got surprised by his statement, but before she could ask, Lincoln continued. "Not only for your people, in these trying times, Human and Elmers need to remain united." Lori snorted with a side smile. Great part of the population of Yound was of humans, as it was Eriol's, but he was right.

Elmers, along with humans, were the other species that dominated their society. Elmer's are very similar to humans in various ways, even being able to crossbreed with each other, they, like the humans, also have different races, but, different from humans, each Elmer race were very different from each other.

It had the High Elves, beings of extreme beauty, with long ears and a special connection with the natural magic. Their largest population was on northeast of Udan, in the region of Akkuan but they could be found in the entire Udan.

The Dark Elves, very similar to High Elves, but with a range of skin color more diverse, ranging from dark gray to pale white. They were infamous outside their native region, the Marshes of Vaerus for having affinity with dark magic.

The Dwarves, are different from the elves for being very short compared to others and next to none magic affinity, however they are known as great thinkers, the greatest minds of Udan were from Dwarven. They are very reclusive and tend to stay on their home in the fortress mountain city of Morgred, in the southwest region with the same name.

And the Orcs, towering nomads that live and die for battle, they have various hues of green skin and tusks that differ from their cousin races. They settle small camps all around the continent but prefer colder places, like Haktum, were snows the entire year.

Elmer also had the Halflings and Goblins races but they were so small in numbers that Lincoln knew almost nothing from these rare races.

Along with the Humans and Elmer, there was some small population of different species of intelligent beings living in Udan, immigrated from far away places beyond the seas, like the Kobolds, reptile humanoids, Felinies, intelligent cat-like beings, Merfolks, Fish-like beings and the Tengu, the bird people.

"We're In luck we've remained in peace for so long." Lori said finally, reflecting how never any major conflict between the various people of Udan ever happened. Lincoln simply nodded she was ultimately right. The young Jarl sighed and made a humble smile. "You are always very welcome to our city Snowtop. Feel free to come by if needed." She spoke. Lincoln nodded and with a bow, he turned around to leave but Lori spoke up again. "Oh, and my proposal from last night is still open." Lincoln turned his head blushing. He saw that Lori also had her face blushing profusely. Lincoln just returned a gentle smile and nodded again.

"Come on you two, we're burning daylight!" Lynn called annoyed.

He turned around and raised his arms, a purples glow appeared from his hands and two spirit horses were summoned in balls of purple lights.

Lori, Carol and Clyde waved them goodbye while Cass observed the two from the window of her study. Lincoln and Lynn mounted them and with a final look from Linc, the two of them departed from Youndorf, officially starting their journey to meet the Arch-Mage alone.


Clyde and Lynn's planning was on point, as the two of them arrived at the gates of the city of Sarphel roughly an hour after the sun had set. The moonlight reflected on the lake, illuminating the dark night. Unsummoning their horses, Lincoln and Lynn entered the city by the smaller entrance for travelers on foot that a soldier guarded. Lincoln then turned to the guard after he closed the entrance once again

"Oh, excuse me guard, can you point us a place where we can spend the night?" He asked. The guard turned and pointed to a nearby bridge.

"Across that bridge, turn right go all the way down and cross the bridge on your left across the bridge you'll find a Inn run by a Orc called Chunk it's cheap and cozy." The Guard instructed. Lincoln thanked and they followed the way he pointed.

"Did you ever visited Sarphel Lynn?" Lincoln asked admiring how the city was built. The knight shaked her head.

"No. It kinda stinks, don't you think?" She said covering her nose.

"It's the smell from the lake." Lincoln spoke. "We're right above it after all." Lynn nodded.

And Like the guard had instructed, they arrived at the inn, a building with it's entrance built in the corner of the two sides, it's windows reflected the yellow light from inside, and faint music could be heard from outside.

When they entered, they got hit by the warm air that differed from the outside cold that resulted from the lake and the stink of the lake got replaced by the nice smell of butterscotch and cinnamon. The yellow light from the several candle holders made the wooden walls and floor look like they were made of caramel. Several tablets were displayed along the room, along with some individual booths a countertop were a burly moss skinned Orc with a golden ring across his nose and a black apron. He was using a cloth piece to clean a beer mug as he heard the story aa costumer sitting by the counter was telling.

In the other corner of the room, there was a small elevated platform were two girls performed spectacularly a number of music very different from everything Lincoln and Lynn ever had heard. The patrons present looked like they were enjoying as some drunkenly singed along others enjoyed their drinks happily.

"Oi, Come here ya two!" The Barista called the two with a warm smile, the two travelers approached the Orc with a smile. "I've never saw ya two in Sarphel! Ya two are travelers?" He asked with a friendly tone. They nodded.

"Yeah, we need a place to spend the night. The guard by the entrance recommended here." Lincoln spoke.

"Huh, Ya're in luck that he even let ya into the city. The they're guarding all entrance and exit of the city, none can exit the city without permission now." Chunk spoke the news, laying over the counter.

"What? Why?" Lynn asked with a hint of indignity in her voice.

"The kid of the Jarl got kidnapped, eh? The guards are certain they're still 'n the city." Chunk explained.

"Oh, I see…" Lincoln spoke. "You know how she looks? For us to keep and eye on?" Lincoln asked. Chunk shaked his head.

"The girl's very sheltered, no one here 'n the city knows how she looks 'cause no one ever saw her! The only description we received from her is that she's a young lady with long golden hair and fine clothes. And no one has a clue for the person that napped her." Chunk spoke.

"Eh, that doesn't narrow it down enough." Lynn said. "Say, how much for two rooms?"

"Sorry, but I have I have just one room left." Chunk spoke in a dragged way, letting his tusks whistle as he made a smirk. Lincoln and Lynn blushed profusely the implication of the way he spoke was clear, he thought they were a couple.

"H-hey, w-we're not together or something!" Lynn stuttered, her face was as red as her garments.

"Oh, then, Lynn, You sleep here then, I-I'll find another place." Lincoln stuttered Turning around before Chunk loud a playful laughter.

"Don't worry kiddos! My rooms have two beds!" Lincoln sighed and Lynn grumbled still blushing, she didn't liked to be teased.

"Ha ha're you two up for a dinner also?" Lynn nodded. As Lynn payed the Orc, Lincoln went back to find them a table to eat and quickly found a empty one near the platform were the musicians played.

As he sat, now that he wasn't having a conversation, he couldn't stop and notice how good that music was. Now he could understand why the other patrons were enjoying so happily it, the good vibes that music emitted was contagious. He started to tap his hands on the table in rhythm of the song.

She looked at the musicians, they were a unusual looking pair, a girl not much older than him with heavy make up, shoulder length blonde hair with a single blue lock and a shy demeanor, playing a lute. And another girl with short brown hair and purple clothes. She was playing a… axe?

The odd instrument aside, that lady was very comfortable playing and singing with her heart's content. The sheer passion on her voice in every word of the lyric made Lincoln's heart beat with happiness, almost like if that music was magic.

His lips turned upwards in a smile as he watched them play, When Lynn sat down on the table, he barely noticed. Lynn lifted an eyebrow and looked at the musicians, she had to admit, that music was good.

eventually the girl on the purple clothes noticed Lincoln looking at them and winked at him, making him grin. Soon, Chunk brought to them a bow of fish sticks that Lynn had requested as dinner for them.

And so, with good food and better music, the rest of that night, Lincoln and Lynn chatted, dinned, laughed and when the musicians made a break to also dinner, Lincoln offered their table to share with them.

"Don't mind with we do!" The girl in purple said sitting on the chair in front of Lincoln. The other also sat down by her side "Man, I don't feel so alive in a long time!" She continued resting her axe on the side of the table. "Don't you think it was a great idea Sam?" She asked turning to the other girl, who shyly nodded in silence. "He don't mind her, she's not used to go out!" Lincoln chuckled.

"You two play so nice!" He complemented them. "Who are you two?"

"I am Luna!" The girl in purple introduced herself pointed her thumb towards herself. "And she's Sam!" Luna pointed to the girl by her side. "And you two?"

"I'm Lynn Griffinheart, Knight of Eriol. He's Lincoln Snowtop, junior wizard." Lynn spoke up. "We're in a important mission to save Udan." She said with a smug face.

"Oh really, Eriol? I got news that a dragon attacked a village there." Luna said crossing her arms behind her head.

"Wait, a dragon?" Sam questioned in shock. "Aren't they pacific? It's what I read about!" Lincoln just made a sad nod.

"Yeah, we were there." Lynn said with a serious tone. "If Linc here didn't stopped it, the whole village would be destroyed." Luna turned to Lincoln with stars in her eyes.

"You stopped a dragon!? That's so awesome! How? With your awesome wizard magic or something?" She asked jumping up and leaning over the table to get closer to Lincoln. The young wizard blushed, her face got very close to her's.

"Yeah… wait, how'd you know not just making stuff up?" Lincoln asked confused. What Lynn claimed was very doubtful at first thought, even If It was the truth, but Luna didn't showed any sight of doubt at anything they said. Was Luna That gullible?

"Oh, don't worry, I know you're telling the truth!" Luna responded simply, leaning back at her chair. "Besides, weirder stuff are happening out there anyway. I heard that Annecia is suffering a unending sandstorm for weeks now." Luna said.

"And the sage of Eriol said that it'll only get worse." Lynn said leaning back with a fish stick in hand.

"I-I'm in shock!" Sam finally spoke up. "I didn't knew any about this! All this is horrible!" She vented. Luna put a hand on her friend's shoulder.

"Don't worry princess, you were pretty much living under a rock before I met ya." She said. That, however didn't helped much Sam to feel better.

"Yeah, we arrived here in town by the evening, but now?" Lynn snarled in annoyance. "We won't be able to continue our journey to Windholm now that the guards limited the exit of the town." Luna and Sam shared quick, worried glances.

"Yeah…" Lincoln said. Looking through a window over Luna's shoulder, observing the darkness outside. "This may delay us until someone finds the kidnapped girl." He spoke with sigh. Sam looked down as she shifted her thumbs together.

Luna observed her friend, body language as they continued to dinner in silence. It was clear what Sam was thinking. Luna lifted up her lip in disgust. Not at Sam, but at the circumstances she found herself in.

It was outrageous thinking what she went through her entire life. Being locked inside, not being allowed to even visit the beautiful gardens of her home, to the point that the mere fact that her room got invaded in the night excited her! What is her mother thinking? Jarl or not, she was mental for doing something like that to her own daughter. And now that Sam had a chance to see the world outside and have new experiences, they had not only to hide but the whole town was suffering her decision.

"Tsk!" Luna clicked her tongue. Why was her even doing that for her? She nothing to gain by helping her. Sam remembered Luna of herself, but more extreme and now Luna, no, Acai couldn't just abandon her and return home. Not with such a failure. The girl sighed. When they realize that she had failed, they'll send another one to finish the job and then get her back.

Luna growled in annoyance. All because Sam's mother! Sam is a very competent person, a little naïve, yes, but she had her heart and mind on the right places. Wait.

"Sam, let's go sleep, shall we?" Luna said finally standing abruptly. Sam looked at her friend confused, the purple clothed girl tilted her head upstairs with her lips thinned. Sam nodded upon realizing Luna wanted to talk to her alone.

"Good to meet ya two." Luna said with a side smile looking at Lincoln and Lynn. She grabbed her axe, resting over her shoulder and walked to down to the stairs to the second floor being accompanied by Sam.

Lincoln and Lynn looked at each other with a concerned look from Lincoln and a suspicious look from Lynn. With a silent nod, they agreed on what to do.

"We're between a rock and a hard place." Luna said after closing the door of their shared room they rented from Chunk. Sam sighed in defeat.

"It was fun while it lasted. Mom is going to absolutely kill me, but…" Sam was cut off by Luna.

"Oh Cut that princess, I'm starting to think that the issue here is with you!" Luna said sharply. Sam tilted her head and frowned.

"What do you mean with that Acai?" She questioned sounding revolted.

"Come on Princess, you are a grown woman! I know dealing with mothers can be hard, but you are old enough to put your foot down and demand her stop controlling your life!" Sam frowned.

"It's easy for you to say that! You don't know what I lived through! You don't have the same expectations I have for my future!"

"Oh, I think I have a pretty good idea of what you went through princess, maybe not exactly the same experiences but up a day ago, I had very high expectations too!" Luna retorted. Sam scoffed

"You don't know how my mother is." Sam said crossing her arms.

"No, you don't know how my mother is!" Luna said pointing at herself. Sam's expression seemed to soften a little. There was something in Luna's tone that made her do that. A kind of sorrow? Or fear? Maybe both?

"You need to ignore what your mother expects from you and focus on what you want! It's your life!" Luna spoke getting progressively more agitated. "You need to forget your fear and stand up for what you want for your life!"

"Are we still talking about me?" Sam spoke after a short pause. Luna was on verge of tears. The girl bit her lip trying to force her tears back inside. Luna growled and with a single motion she grabbed her axe and swung around, turning on her heels and tossing the axe.

It flew from her fingers and it's bladed side shocked with the door behind her, sinking it in the wood, behind it a short shout of surprise was heard.

Gritting her teeth, Luna walked up to the door and with a violent pull, dislodged the axe off the door, cracking the wood in half and the splintered door fell off it's hinges.

"Didn't your mother's taught you that was rude spying on people?" Luna questioned between teeth. Lincoln and Lynn were the room. The wizard had a concerned look while Lynn had the same fierce look as Luna, she had her sword already drawn in one hand and her shield in the other.

"We're going to take you down!" Lynn said with fierce conviction.


N/A: On this chapter we learn quite a few things about Udan's geography, well, at least what'll be relevant for the near future, I also introduced the other race of Udan, the Elmer. I again took inspiration of Skyrim making all the "fantasy" races being different races a same species, the explanation on the chapter was pretty much everything relevant for the concept, well, aside from Elmer, there's other side species that I don't plan to have much spotlight, however inserting what are basically the Kaajiit, Argonian, Zora and the Rito into the story is just to make the world more deep.

We also learned more about Luna and Sam in this chapter, and I thank god that I still have time before writing Luan, Leni and Lisa, because I have a lot of trouble writing these characters and really dread when I have to write them, specially Luan, I bet that everyone who writes TLH fics and are not a native english speaker does.

I don't think I made it clear in the explanation, but the Windholm Mountains are located on the center of Udan with all the regions circling them.

Also, if you're thinking about it, yes, some of the Loud sisters will be Elmer's instead of normal humans, but who will he what it'll be a surprise, but you can have your guesses if you want.
