Ambrose: Szedrik leads the group of warriors and recruits through the woods and towards the pass...
Holly: {IC} Can you tell us about the battle where you wounded, Oliver?
Oliver: {IC} Well, I don't know...
Ambrose: Oliver suffered a sever head injury. He does not recall anything from his time at the pass.
Oliver: {IC} Yeah, that explains it.
Szedrik (NPC): Behold, the sea at the heart of our valley. And beyond, the plume of steam rising from Melgarazad, where no Garnim is allowed to walk.
Steve: {IC} I don't think it's right.
Szedrik: Yes! I too long to look on the fires where the Hargrim forge zeir weapons, but alas! It is forbidden!
Steve: {IC} No, I meant sending someone with a brain injury to fight in a war. What is this, Forrest Gump?

The author writes:

Hopefully it is clear that Szedrik and Steve are looking down into the valley - the sea and Melgarazad are far, far in the distance. Yes, those are some big mountains.
