The days of travel served for Minos and his wives to experience a little of the continent's current reality, marked by much more stability than they had ever seen before. They were also able to see some of the great respect that the local forces now showed for Armhands.
Even though many didn't know Minos, the entire continent now knew the guild and hardly anyone would stand in the way of a group of Armhands. They sensed this by not even having to identify themselves for groups and conflicts to move out of their way, making room for them to complete their journey more quickly.
