"It is well the Norns saw fit to weave the skein of Grimolf's life to a warrior's end. Perhaps the bonds of our people will not falter after all." She pauses for a few moments, looking over the lot of you before continuing. "I would ask that a few of you remain, so that I can glean some more details of this battle in which Grimolf's thead was ended, but there was an urgent message that arrived to us in Urling last evening that concerns one of you. Please, if you will join me at my tent..."
She is pleasant in her request, but her voice holds no room for arguments as she descends the steep stairs cut into the side of the Law Rock and proceeds across the green toward the remnants of the Hathran quarter. You follow her back to her tent, where you find a tall bearded man with red hair wearing the heavier armor of outlanders and apparently waiting for your arrival. He shows proper deference to the Hathran and proffers a folded sheet of vellum to the masked Wychlaran. "Beado brought this news of a raid at the Wall," she says as she hands the note to Einar. Raising her eyes from the note now in your hand, up to your eyes, she continues, "It appears your young cousin was chasing after a few loose sheep and came upon a scouting party of the Invaders who ventured beyond the Wall. He was taken captive and brought south of the Wall before anyone but the other shepherds knew anything was amiss. When your kinsmen learned of it, they crossed the Wall at night, hoping to rescue him. This missive was sent the next morning, so I do not yet know if they were successful or not."
You painfully read through the note, but find the only additional clue it provides beyond than what the Hathran had already relayed to you was the name of your cousin, Reinn.
"Beado has expressed a desire to accompany you to the Wall, and as his business with us is done, I see no reason to dismiss his request."
