Read to everyone:
You arrive in Mother’s Watch as they are closing up the main gate for the night. The large open forum has a half-dozen small buildings, all in the typical Nora style, and all clearly new construction. Piles of black ash and burned lumber have been swept to the walls, but not entirely removed.
A few merchants remain in the square, trying to get in one last sale for the day, but the effort is half-hearted as they pack up their wares.
You’re directed up a winding hill to another open area at the foot of a mountain. It’s bustling with activity — dozens of people, many in family groups, sit at long, improvised tables, sharing a meal with the weary but good-natured exhaustion of a long day’s work. Off to the side, tables of food feature a wide variety of dishes, not all Nora. The sharp tang and bright colors of Carja dishes catch your eye, along with the grainy scent of Oseram sweetbreads.
A family in Carja dress gets up from a table, making their way over to a crowd gathering around one of the lodges. You take their place to sit and eat, wedged in between what looks to be a Nora family and an assortment of tradespeople of Carja and Oseram dress.
