[Fenrir, Corhim and Dak have set off for to find the Fortress of the Yaun-ti.
But now Corhim has wanted a quick Teleportation detour to the Tower of Mathghamhna,
the home of the Arcane Order.]
DAY 619 (12th Uktar) (November) cont ...
Corhim had been to the Arcane Order Headquarters once before. There is a dangerous
over land route that can be taken, the tower is remote, located in the Nether
mountains, 100 miles east of Sundabar. Corhim was teleported there the first time
and also this time so he avoided all of that.
He was there to enrol as an Associate Member which mainly involved handing over
750 gold. He could become a full member if he wanted, but that was a lot more
involved and time consuming. All he really wanted was access to their Spell
Pool, which would (if I understand correctly) allow him to cast pretty much
any spell as long as he paid it back later. There were a few other benefits and
requirements involved with Associate Members but I'll not go into them now.
While Corhim went into Mathghamhna to deal with all that, Fang and Fenrir
went into the nearby village of Narvik Rock. This settlement is right next
door to the Arcane Order and is there to serve is more mundane needs. It has
a population of about two thousand and two inns, one for poor travellers and
one for richer folks like visiting wizards.
There was also a lodging house for visiting Associate Members, but they
opted for the rich inn, and got a good table and sat down for a slap up feed
of goat stew washed down with lashings of strong wheat beer.
I tell you what though, I'm glad I'm a druid, I don't have to go through
all that rigmarole that wizards do. And I don't have to worry about demons
coming to get me like Fenrir does, come to that.
