- The Border Forest

Upon receiving the message that he had been requested in the West, Marcus immediately headed to the border between Rovinia and Threll, without warning or waiting for anyone else. Taking a horse from the Guard in Nosia, he departed minutes after being told of the request. He arrived at the village that stood closest to the border between Rovinia and Threll partway through the night.

Upon arriving, he noticed that the village seemed empty. It was not just because of the time, either. The emptiness was not caused just by the lack of people that he saw in the area, there was more to it than that. The whole place seemed empty.
