Ankyra Sound you are someone's background singer : behind the scenes

Having spent a few days outside of the Saltwinter lands -- perhaps to avoid the stench of the strangers he claimed allegiance with -- Njal finally returned. Not much was different. He found the scent markings of Vlad and Caiaphas, with the majority being made by the sea witch in some strange act of fervor, and occasionally he stumbled upon the scent of Rosalyn, albeit it was sweeter than usual. The man found his way back to the cavern where the strange woman hid herself, and then bee-lined for the reeds just beyond the sandy coast.
