The Field of the Forgotten

Valdis' statement piqued Valkyrie's interest. Perhaps it shouldn't have come as a surprise to her that other wolves from her homeland (or near it) had ventured into Boreas as well. The stories she'd been told as a child had made it seem like Boreas had been untouched by peoples like hers save for her ancestors who had blazed the trail. Of course it was unlikely to be true, but she'd grown up believing it and childhood fantasies were hard to shake.

 

As for what had brought her here...

Valkyrie answered honestly. "Fortune. My ancestors made their fortune here and I seek to do the same." She regarded Valdis curiously. "How about you, Valdis? If your parents spoke something similar you must be far from home."
