[Vanguard] Book 1 - Chapter 5: Spirnocum Village

[Throndir]

60 miles from the Rakian Borders
Day 3 - Afternoon

In the distance was the first Rakian village; Spirnocum village. It looked like a fairly lazy town, though you did note the presence of armed guards at the eastern entrance of the village. There were ruins farther up on a hill that looked unused, and you also noted that the village itself had a low wall, perhaps about 8 ft. high that surrounded the village, along with plenty of the buildings inside. It looked quite defensible.

When the group neared, one of the guards, armed with a spear, came up, he stepped in front, which ended up stopping both horses as the horses snorted in annoyance.

"Hold. State your purpose of visiting the village." The guard said loudly enough for the rest of the group to hear.
