You sit with Ashâmi and Raphûz

Objective 3

Listen to the conversation between Ashâmi and Raphûz

You sat with your friend and the woman, Ashâmi. They seem to be talking more openly, learning about one another.

Raphûz says, "Ashâmi, how is it you know the Elves in Shonith?"

Ashâmi says, "My mother, Mâshuli, was a trader long before my father. Like me, she was independent. She traded with the Elves."

Ashâmi says, "Lathagwid, one of the Elves, taught her to move through shadows. A skill she taught me."

Raphûz says, "This is how you concealed yourself from us in Ambarûl?"

Ashâmi says, "Yes. That and my knowledge of the land."

Ashâmi says, "My mother brought me to Shonith when I reached ten summers and introduced me to Lathagwid."

Ashâmi says, "She became like another member of the family to me."

Ashâmi says, "When my mother met the headsman's axe, I ran here rather than returning to my father."

Ashâmi says, "It was the first cruelty I visited upon him."

Ashâmi says, "It was not his fault. My mother traded in secrets. She kept them, even from my father."

Ashâmi says, "The Ordâkhai discovered she was working to preserve the woods, informing the Elves of Khûd Zagin, helping to disrupt harvesting operations."

Ashâmi says, "There was no saving her. I knew that, even as a child."

Raphûz says, "I am so sorry, Ashâmi."

Ashâmi says, "There is no need for sorrow. Lathagwid protected me and gave me a gift."

Ashâmi says, "My mother often mentioned my father's superstitions. She gave me Mashûli, the deer you rescued."

Ashâmi says, "I wove a tale for my father, the deer was my mother reborn. I had found it while wandering in the fertile lands north-west of Jirush."

Ashâmi says, "...and he believed it, of course."

Raphûz says, "If he believed the deer was your mother returned, why did he send it to Ambarûl to be sacrificed for future trades?"

Ashâmi chuckles,

Ashâmi says, "That was a tale I told to gain favour in Ambarûl."

Ashâmi says, "The truth is my father gave Mashûli to a charlatan claiming he could free my mother's spirit."

Ashâmi says, "He gave Mashûli to the man freely unaware she carried a fawn in her belly."

Raphûz says, "You went to Ambarûl to save the fawn in Mashûli's belly?"

Ashâmi says, "Yes. My father and I fought after he sent the deer north."

Ashâmi says, "I did not tell him about Mashûli's pregnancy, and he accused me, and my anger, of being a thrall to the Aladi of the Grove."

Ashâmi says, "His superstitions are profound."

Ashâmi says, "Fearing Mashûli taken to Umbar, I began searching along Telperiën's Wall and witnessed the arrival of your expedition."

Ashâmi says, "I thought the north had come to invade. I watched and learned."

Ashâmi says, "To be truthful, I would never have recovered Mashûli without your intervention."

Raphûz says, "Why?"

Ashâmi says, "Servals. They terrify me. My father kept one as a pet and it bit and scratched me when I was a child."

Raphûz says, "They are fearsome."

Raphûz chuckles.

Ashâmi says, "Terrifying."

You see a shadow pass behind a nearby tent.

Objective 5

Speak to the new arrival

You saw a shadow approach. You should investigate.

Lathagwid: 'Greetings, friend. I am Lathagwid. I wanted to thank you and to save you from what would become inescapable.

'It is fascinating to watch a watered seed germinate, but also tedious. Once our part is done, it is best to let them be.

'It is up to the seed to strive and grow.

'Let us let them speak.'

After speaking with Lathagwid you leave the pair to their discussion
