Faridell
You let the odd little fellow escape, and turn your attention to the scroll. It looks very very old and well used. Carefully, you open it, and begin to read the runes. Luckily, Zentrum taught you all the languages of the immediate area, and you understand most of it.
Just as you read the second line of the scroll, you hear a deep, gruff voice behind you.
"I would handle that scroll carefully, traveller. I care not where you obtained it, just be careful!" You look behind you, and find a weather-beaten, grim dressed knight standing nearby. He really is a mess. His chainmail armour is tangled and torn, and his helmet hangs off the left side of his head broken in half. At closer examination, you see that he bears the symbol of a yellow and black checkered shield with a purple snake hissing on his chainmail.
