Northstar Vale when you and I are through

The call had finally come from Chaudry that he returned and Noctaryn sent his own howl to acknowledge it.

He traversed the borders quickly, coming to a stop not far from where Chaudry stood. Curiously, he was alone. The man was supposed to return with Pala and sons, yet here he stood empty handed. 

"Welcome back, Chaudry. I see that you are...alone. Were you able to find them?" He didn't have to say who he spoke of for they were the reason the mountain man had left the Vale in the first place.
