ALEM

---

Sound the drums, head on to war — seized citadel Alem has already been there for the lion's share of a year.

Under the Scavengers' guidance, the four sand worms the party captured gently graze underground corridors allowing the group to reach halfway up Mount Attevar. From there, they quickly infiltrate Alem through a bustling trade route.

Young King Deimar strikes a simple bargain: serve Alem in its bitter last days until inevitable downfall, and the citadel will grant access to its Beacon before the final evacuation is completed.

Sounds simple enough. Now, survive it.

I know that they're on completely different levels on this Arc but I wanted you to know that Hermione could take a hug if offered. Also, being tall and more competent at lying in the labs in Serthica was very impressive.

Caitlyn will probably be making an effort to sneak up to the watch towers at some point to stare at Vi with barely concealed lust make sure everyone up there is doing okay, and she'll be happy to dole out hugs. And she definitely recognizes and respects a fellow nerd. She might wanna bounce theories off of Hermione's big brain once she gets into the mystery of it all.
