Fear in his eyes, Rory stammers that he knows nothing of Quiam - they're not allowed to cut wood beyond the lands of Hijm. The two Jarin quickly reload the cart with wood, missing a few smaller pieces in their haste to be away. Colm whacks the poor donkey hard with a piece, and the two head off to the northeast.
Presently, the Seld warband resumes its trek, and not long after, they come around a small wooded area. With the sun low in the western sky, there ahead of them in the distance is a huge rocky bluff, upon which stands an imposing castle. The sun's rays cast a shadow before the castle, dark in relief to the nimbus of light around the commanding fortress.
With this, Hoeg comes to an end. I shall shortly open a new thread for the arrival at Tandir.
