Provided the Watch has such a future. I believe it does. What really caught Kigipigak's attention was the scouting. Do you know of the valley? I have yet to investigate it, so maybe I am on a fool's errand in to an empty land. Any knowledge you could spare about the residents would be useful - if you have any.

Then again, he would be off soon on his adventure - he would find the resident tribes and learn of them himself, in time.
