 Gaj is a major market town in the foothills of the western end of The Maerthwatch mountains, where copper and silver (and a little gold) from local mines are smelted. Dwarves work the (shallow) mines, gnomes turn the copper…

So whose was it? Fey mischief? Some guardian seithkona or galdr or godi? Or…someone else?

 The Pirate King shows veteran experience by departing in a slow and leisurely manner, sidestepping to get out of view of the skorg or anyone else looking through the doorway before he begins to sprint.
Wolf calmly nods to…

 “You! Now that you’ve been in THERE, you’ve caught it!”

 “Ah. So you’re on a hunt. Floggings must wait?”
“For now, I fear so. Though I know now who to seek: Dardratha The Whipstrangler, Skorg to the Discerning.”
