Northstar Vale maybe, maybe we all are selfish

And so the adventure begins! @Luke @Andalusia and powerplaying with express permission, @Harlyn. Figured this could be a general rallying thread for us before they make headway? IDK, feel free to move it along as you see fit! Incidentally, nosy parties are welcome as well for recruitment and what not.

With the events of the Plateau behind them, Harlyn had taken the lead in heading east. This place she had in mind had only been described to Mordecai, but he found intrigue budding as they had set off at near daybreak. Having scaled through the lower reaches of the mountains by the time the sun broke over the lowlands, the faint light revealed the destruction of the narrow valley beyond the Plateau. The storm that had come through had ravaged this place, but it was far from being impassable.

As the earthy pair weaved their way through the terrain, silence had lapsed to them easily. There wasn't much to comment on, other than the repeat of fallen trees and windswept grass, and truth be told they were quietly seeking out the familiar faces of those who were to join them. At some point, through an open break of canopy that wasn't too terrorized, Mordecai called for them. As his call faded away into the ambient din of morning, his eyes sought through the greenery for his niece, and the blue-nosed Luke.
