Whitefish River life needs a pause button

@Ira

despite the fact that his searches were not as far or drawn out as they had once been, astaroth still took time out of his week to go on short patrols in search of ying. he knew the chance of her popping up out of nowhere was unlikely, but he still held onto whatever small portion of hope he had left.

it was by chance that he happened upon the unknown borders during one of his short excursions. anyone else might have continued by and minded their own business, but astaroth had always been a bit nosy and couldn't help but wonder who might be hanging around nearby. and so as he kept a respectful distance between himself and the claimed land, he sent up a howl for anyone who might be listening, curious to see who would come and greet him.
