"The elder can tell you," The sea elf says, "He's in the hut at the end of the village."

[Nephrite]

"Thank you." Moore says as he goes in that direction!

[Anastasia]

The hut is rather unremarkable, save for the water being thin within, almost not a factor at all. Here sits an elf like the others, eyes closed. A staff rests on his lap, engraved with iron-shod runes.

"Hmmmm?" He speaks long and slow, vowels drawn out. "Aaaaand whoooooo aaaareeee yoooouuuuuu?"

[Nephrite]

"My name is Moore, elder. I am a visitor from Lunia." He says, speaking respectfully. "I seek your wisdom of the history of this village."

[Anastasia]

"Thaaaaaat iiiiiiis nooooo greeeeaaaaaat buuurdeeeeeeen," he says slowly, waters gently sloshing around him.

[Nephrite]

"Thank you." He says as he awaits a surely looooooong stoooooooryyyyyyy.

It is. To summarize: It is an ancient settlement that has been there as long as any know, and will be as long as it is. IT is known as River's Path and has about 1,000 elves and others who live here. It is peaceful and subsists on simple farming and trade, as well as the treasures of the occasional hero who rises from the ranks here. As sea elves, they are an instrument to see to the will of Deep Sashelas.

"That is good to know," Cresiel says, "Thank you."

[Nephrite]

"Do you know where the idea for River's Path was born, elder?" Moore asks.

[Anastasia]

A shake of his head at that, "Iiiiii doooo nooooot."

[Nephrite]

Moore nods. "Thank you, elder, for your time." He says as he stands up, offers a bow, then turns to leave.

[Anastasia]

Once you head out, "Did you find anything helpful," Cresiel asks.

[Nephrite]

"Somewhat." Moore says. "I don't think my answers are here, unfortunately."

[Anastasia]

"To trust Celestia is wise, but in this case I believe you need a specialist in the obscure," Cresiel states.

[Nephrite]

Moore chuckles. "I don't think you're wrong." He says.

Remind me, Oghma is in the House of Knowledge?

[Anastasia]

Yes.

"Then let us choose a different tactic," Cresiel says, "Unless you wish to continue tasting water."
