Towering pines crowd the dirt path the group travels down. Land of rocky forests, mist shrouded and beautiful in the dawn light.
The pantheon bid farewell to the orphans fondly, with Walks-in-Shadow giving a few quick lessons in how to be sneaker. They vowed to remember all of what the young gods told them and did for them, before continuing on their journey, their golem walking behind them watchfully.
They cross the borders of the hold uneventfully, but all can feel a gloom deepen, as the mists cling to the forest floor even against the noon day sun.
A few miles away from Bears Falls, a village Rilfar had visited in his youth, the Pantheon stops to decide on their course of action.
Rilfar is aware of two notable players in the area.
The first is Svorga Hermidotr, Thane and respected Steward of the Jarl Faris Scarred-Heart, who stole Rilfar’s throne.
She is the reason he is still alive, arranging for the imperials to keep Rilfar locked up and presumed dead so Faris would stop searching for the true heir.
She would most likely be in Falkreath Hold itself, and would be aware of any weakness or opportunities, one would presume. While highly respected and kept alive for the sake of legitimacy, there can be little doubt that if her loyalties were questioned Faris would dispose of her.
The other is the current head of the Argonian Silver Roots clan by Lake Ilinalta. The Silver Roots were part ruin delvers, merchants, and dangerous spellswords. Walks-in-Snow was the formidable matriarch of the clan, and managed to parley her family’s talents into political power in the xenophobic Nord culture. While she respected Rilfar’s family, one can imagine that she will seek security of her family over any former allegiances.
The leader of the Silver Roots would most likely be found at their compound on the shores of Lake Ilinalta.
Faris Scarred Heart was a notable warrior, long lost uncle to the former Jarl. He was thought to be dead until his return at the head of a legion of undead. His powers are unknown, though rumors abound even to the dungeons of Helgan of dark blood pacts and vampirism.
He is most likely to be found in the Hold of Falkreath.
