As the Tribe of the Red Bear prepares to depart, you join your advisors, who are looking with interest at the ruins of the tower that has served as your tribe's most recent home.
"This tower must be ancient," says Seramet, thoughtfully. "Perhaps it was built by the ancestors of those who attacked us."
"Impossible," replies Kral. "They were dressed in furs and attacked with weapons of bone and wood. How could they possibly build something like this?"
You don't add to the conversation, but instead stare silently at a relief that, though previously obscured by the snow, is now clearly visible on one of the tower's remaining walls. The relief is a symbol—the same symbol that is displayed on the brooches you took from both the frozen corpse and the fur-clad warrior.
Soon the caravan is ready to move once more. Taking your place at its head, you step out onto the unblemished snow and resume your journey north.
