Visitors from Afar

Astarto Village.

"Our sources tell us that this is the place where Valyr Zeihardt was last sighted." Under the warm rays of the sun, a group of five people dressed in light gray plate armor stood at the entrance of the village, attracting the attention of passerby once they had entered the village.

"Will we even find an answer from this place, boss?" One of the five asked the man at the very front with a slightly doubtful expression. "It wouldn't make sense for someone in his place to be staying at a village. Wouldn't it make more sense for someone like him to hide in a city or a kingdom instead?"

"And that's why it's better for him to stay in a village," another one among the five responded to the previous person's question. "After all, a village is the last thing people would expect him to stay in, considering his upbringing."
