The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

The Lost Tale Of Eymreil

Eric nodded, taking a bite of the meat and smiling at Nicula slightly.
"Alright.  Sounds like a plan."
He chuckled...

"That would be nice." Chaka said.  She was curious about what the room may look like.  She wondered if they should rest first or try to get some food first.  She thought maybe resting.  Not sure what her traveling companion would prefer.

From the road that comes from the south, heading to the city of Sorra, there are two figures walking: a big figure that is a Cathay Khajiit, who is carrying a big backpack and is playing a lira as he walks, practicing for when he arrives to the city. The other figure is a much smaller child-sized figure who is using a large hood to cover his face and entire body, this boy is silently going alongside the Khajiit, looking mostly to the ground but not distracted at all.

"Here we are little one..." - the Khajiit said as he stopped playing his lira and looked at a gate with a smile. - "... this is our new destination, but for a couple of days only." - But he sighed since he saw no excitement from the kid. - "I guess we should eat something and have some rest." - he walked forward and made sure both of them were granted access to the city.

After a little while they found a decent place to eat, they went in and sat in a table.

"what can I offer the mister and his son?" - A female Khajiit waitress asked the newcomers, smiling to see in the male adult a familiar face.

"My name is Qa'Meret, pretty lady, and I would love if you could bring me the cheapest special of the house and a big glass of fresh water..." - The Khajiit said with an elegant smile. - "... and for the young one here, a plate of salads and another glass of fresh water will do just fine." - But he saw the petition for the kid was a strange one, but before the waitress could say a word, Qa'Meret added. - "... that's fine, indulge me." - He looked at her with a calm face and smile. She nodded as he blushed a bit and went away for the order.

"Are you sure you have money to stay in the city?" - the kid spoke with a soft voice.

the Khajiit replied. "Of course, I would not let you to sleep in the wilderness... again." - and he laughed for a while as he saw the kid was looking at him. - "Don't worry about anything, I have everything under control."

"where I live there are places where you can look and buy maps, maybe we can go to that place in this city." - The kid suggested as he was now staring at the things over the table.

"That is what I was also thinking, we will go there after eating." - Qa'Meret said as he saw the waitress arriving with the food.

 As the newcomers began to eat, the waitress walked back to the kitchen and as she looked to the newcomers, she noticed the kid's white furred hands. - "an Albino" - she said to herself - "no wonder he is using that hood and cape." - she kept on walking, waiting for the next order.

 After a while, the newcomers finished their meal and Qa'Meret payed without problems, but not without one last question to the waitress "Excuse me pretty lady" - Qa'Meret inquired - "can you tell me where I can find a good bookshop around here?" - and he got instructions to find a bookshop owned by someone called Sur.

 Finally, Qa'Meret came out if the small inn and found his companion who was waiting outside and headed to the bookshop.

At the welcome, the adult Khajiit returned the greeting - "Thanks for the welcome, we were thinking if you could help us getting some maps." - he got closer to the shop's owner.

In the meantime, the boy said no word and went to look at some old books that were on display, he took one about ancient myths of Eymreil and started looking at it's pages.

"My name is Qa'Meret and I am a Minstrel, so I go from town to town, but my old map is not very useful for this region as I come from the south. So could you plase show me some maps for this city and region?" - he askes as politely as he could, but also hoping any price would not be too expensive.

Darman shook his helmeted head, uninterested in the cake roll. "I'm fine." he told her, keeping his arms folded as he glanced around the room.

Sur asked.

"Well well, I am honoured and happy to know my songs and stories have reached far places..." - Qa'Meret replied with a big smile. - "... But we have heard about Apep, his reign has caused problems far from here aswell... but honestly speaking, I don't think there any any real kind-hearted politicians, because they will all eventually just care to fill their pockets with gold." - he then looked at Sur's with a less serious look on his face. - "I guess you can always tell a bard something that needs to be spread on many places, but don't worry because I never reveal my sources. And I would like to see a map of the city and for the north-eastern regions."

Meanwhile, the little kid remained silent watching the book he picked-up about myths and legends, there he found an interesting paragraph about people that came out of nowhere, and that they eventually vanish as they appear. "So, there have been people like that before." - he said making a small smile, smile that was unseen by Qa'Meret and Sur due to the hood covering his face.

Soon. Sounds of something outside could be heard, it sounded like some sort of creature. Perhaps stalking its prey.

"So we should reach Sorra in two days if we keep a steady pace." John explained.
