Arriving in Perenth

Good riddance to that one horse town! With Taom far behind you, you feel like turning over a new leaf. Perenth is a much bigger, better city. It lies on the coast so there will be plenty of new people and new ideas. There are sure to be much more more-interesting people there. After a few days worth of flying, you should be there, ready to make a name for yourself as an alchemist. It is quite the dream, but you just know you can do it.

Around dusk you can finally see Perenth on the horizon, and it looks like a storm of some sort must be brewing in the south. You fly into the night, toward the looming storm with its ominous clouds and eerie lightning. Was that lightning? It didn’t really move the way any lightning you have ever seen before… it looked more like fire, maybe? Or an explosion? You aren’t sure, but it doesn’t sit right with you as you approach the edges of Perenth.

There are strange shrieks in the distance behind you, away from the city, and you hurry a little faster toward the buildings and roads. You find the nearest inn, the Maiden Mermaid and send your friend to perch on a nearby roof until you call again. Inside the inn, people are deathly quiet and they eye you as you enter. Are they looking at your hand? Or your hair? You hurry up to the bar and jump up to a stool and try to get the barkeep’s attention.
