[EVENT RP] The Reclamation of Tania

[Swift_Assassin]

"The church moved into Pharae before I left, remember?" Shad said to Paige. "It's possible the church moved out, but that other unit of keepers was still searching for Fred when we left." He reminded. The church presence must be high in the area. With what Shad now knows, Alice apparently redirected that group of soldiers to Pharae to allow their escape. Which left them without a place to fall back to. Caelin was an option, but Caelin, in the past, had been entrusted to Ostia. "Given Caelin's history with Ostia, it's probably not smart for us to try going there. I don't know who reigns over Caelin now, but they must have close ties to the Ostian royal family."

Cecily put forward the idea of Bern. Bern, huh? Wait. That could work. But how far is it? Shad pulled out a map from his belongings. On this map was how to get to his family's safe house in Bern, which was his original destination. He took the map and laid it down on a nearby box. "My family has a safe house in Bern. If this map is correct, it should be roughly on the other side of the mountains. The only trouble we might run into would probably be bandits attacking refugees. We could stay there and assess the situation." Shad sighed a bit, not really wanting to involve his sister. "Looking at this map though, I think that might be our only option. The sister at the church told me about a missive that arrived from Santaruz, so Caelin must have had gotten it too. We'd most likely have to go through the Lycian and Bernese armies to get to Khathelet and the situation around Pharae is too much of unknown to really risk it. But that's just my opinion."

He grabbed the map and climbed up onto the horse, with Taika grabbing his waist as he did so. That girl has no faith in this horse. He grabbed the reigns with one hand and led the horse over towards others. He then remembered something, when they first left Pharae. "Fred, what caused you to come here to Tania, if I may ask? Now that I remember, you wanted to avoid Tania."
