It is grassy and rolling hills, much like most of the Mander Reach. In the distance they can see the river rolling lazily down to the sea.

Geric is confused and dismounts as the other two Knights follow his lead, "People of the Mander I am Ser Geric Dawnrose I come to ask for your help."

"The Thorns are about milord... A few months ago, they raided south near Coldmoat, and kidnapped Lord Webber's daughter, though I hear she was ransomed. they are about milord, for certain."

"No milord, they ain't raided us, as yet, although we've seem them about these parts. I think they like to go south into the Far Reach, or Northeast."
