| You and your fellow raiders were expecting a ten-day journey when you boarded the longship bound for [[:gaz:lars_trollkiller|Lars Troll-Killer’s]] remote encampment. Ten days have turned to three weeks of miserable searching across the [[gaz:thulian_fog|fog-shrouded]] arctic seas broken only by hardtack and the occasional sighting of a whale or... something. One never knows in these wretched waters. | You and your fellow raiders were expecting a ten-day journey when you boarded the longship bound for [[:gaz:lars_trollkiller|Lars Troll-Killer’s]] remote encampment.

Some say it is a gull, but a young [[:gaz:skald|skald]] looks at it and swears it is a distant dragon, which spreads both amusement and unease among the crew. Regardless, it gives the steersman a direction to go. Before long, peaks can be seen and when the fog breaks a makeshift harbor is found that leads to a collection of beached ships, tents and shacks, as well an imposing collection of distant, stark black structures beyond the nearest hills. | Finally, after several days a silhouette is spotted in the sky.
