Dante had decided to make good on his plan to seek experience outside his borders, leaving the Betas briefly in charge as he traveled the nearby regions. He would not go far, and actually had just reached the limit of his comfortable distance as he stared at the coast before him. He had followed the river as it passed through forests on its way to the ocean, knowing from experience that, unless things had changed, the trip would take him through no claimed lands.
