Posts about Satis’ ongoing epic fantasy saga.
In the end, they stayed in Taureth for three months, and Brandyé came to know its folk well, for it was a small town. He would often speak with Bill, who frequently disagreed with him and whose opinions of the world were unwavering. In fact, Brandyé became to Bill an apprentice of sorts, and he learned to fish through ice, though he was never much good at catching anything.
There was much work to be done in preparation for the voyages of Ermèn, Athalya and Brandyé, and it was some weeks before they were able to make their way to the port of Viura Râ in search of a vessel that would take them hence. Brandyé came to the conclusion that, as high a position as the Sarâthen held in the world, even they were not able to travel on a whim to whatever kingdom took their fancy, or to speak with whichever leaders they desired. (It did not occur to him that the Sarâthen might well be able to do so, but he could not.)
It was several days before such a meeting could be arranged, and he spent his time wandering the wondrous streets of Viura Râ, or deep in conversation with Ermèn. He learned much of the world of Erâth, and of the great city in particular. Viura Râ, it seemed, was indeed a great hub of the world, a place where all the races of Erâth could meet and speak, without fear or violence.
