Nauticles nods sagely at Azhur's comments, and especially the requests
of the Luatha. He tugs at his beard thoughtfully, as only the Lhankor
Mhy can and carefully weighs up his words.

"Well, one can hardly go about rejecting the advice of a demi-god, can
they? And let's face it that's what those morose singing angels of the
sunset are. However, I wonder if they were being a little cryptic in
their suggestion, as the immortals often are."

"At the moment, as you would have realised coming here, the winds are
not favourable, indeed non-existent. It is true that you could use up
the Power of your elemental, but that would hardly be efficient."

"I have reason to believe - based on the revival of past stories of the
Great Darkness - that if the invading armies are defeated by the Iron
Ring of rebel Satarites who have not submitted, then the winds will blow
again - thus meaning you will be able to continue your journey with
greater, rather than less speed. Further, I believe that Karala wishes
to visit Wild Temple in Beast Valley and this would indeed be on your
way if you participated in this action."

"Yao Fune, I have heard of through an esoteric contact I have in an
almost unknown city called Lei Tabor, but I know little. He is a
peasant, and a leader of a pacifist religious cult with many adherents."
 
"The Blue Moon Plateau lies to the north of the Lunar Heartland, a place
inhabited by trolls. As the name indicates - and I have no reason to
dispute them - it is part of the Blue Moon, the Troll and Lunar goddess
also known as Annilla who, as any sailor will tell, controls the tides."

"That Yao Fune has the flail of Talor's Companions does not surprise me.
He is probably using it as a grain threshing device. Why the trolls
would have the greatsword however is beyond me."

"For the Godlearner, I can also speak a little on Sunstorm as it bears
some mention in even the old records of his people. Sunstorm is the name
of a deity that the 'learners attempted to create during their rule in
the east, and a very ambitious one at that. The great powers of Yelm the
Sun God and Orlanth, the Storm God were to be combined. Yes, I know this
is shocking. But the idea was to create a deity that would combine the
strengths of both."

"Of course, the project failed, and the broken God lies in the holls of
Jankley Bore, far in the Bliss of Ignorance, a kingdom known for its
ghosts, monstrosities and rulers who live on the trade of mind-altering
drugs."
