Found the settlement. Got in without much hassle by showing Feheley's writ, although we did have to leave our melee weapons at the gate. Big place for a "settlement", about the size of Fenneldale, and well-built. Very not temporary.Spoke briefly with some head honchos - Benj and Goraj and Tie'Pranj or something. Told them we'd been in the Illendi caves and that the mural Warned Of Catastrophe. Goraj reacted somewhat strongly to this - he said something to Benj that *sounded* like "there are ice weasels in my dire pants", but I don't think that could really have been it or he would have looked a lot more agitated. As it was he looked sort of doubtful and disapproving. Not the best sign. But Benj was polite.
Unanswered questions: are they here to invade? Who have they been trading with? Who are these humans attacking their homeland? Why do Lucan and Cedar keep talking about interior-decorating color schemes?
Benzh, Goradzh, and Pietranzh ("Piet"), for the record. Even I have, however, for the second time, forgotten the name of the settlement itself. --"The Editor"
