Chapter 57
With their loot sold and some arrangements made, Veron and the team started making their way back towards the Stone Circles.
Veron looked up at some point to see the distant castle again, standing atop the western mountain over Anvakar. He narrowed his eyes and pointed. “Ailis, I’ve been wondering, what can you tell me about the place up there?”
She looked up. “Castle Falreach?”
“I assume so?”
“Yeah. It’s… a well talked about place. It’s not officially Guild owned, but it’s said that whenever truly important people visit the city, they go up to Falreach. And that’s pretty much the end of what I know about it. Sadly, I’m not well connected enough to learn more.” She paused, then smiled. “It’s always been one of those places shrouded in all kinds of mystery. I assume most if not all of the rumors are entirely fabricated, though I’m sure the view from up there is really nice.”
“What kind of rumors are we talking about here?” Veron asked.
“Oh you know? Blood rituals, secret guilds, hidden treasure, dragons, a locked up god if you ask some people,” Ailis said and shrugged.
Veron laughed, then looked at the castle. “It does make you wonder. Do you think I could climb up?”
