Rotterex blinks a little confuses at Azhur's reference to the Mostal.
"The Iron Forts", he explains, "are ruled by  the  the Dragon Emperor of
Kralorela. Although perhaps they were made by Dwarves of that land.
After all, they are *iron*."

"Master Faust is like you... A 'guest', and not entirely of his choice.
Many years ago he was preparing a great ritual, to teleport to Pavis..
And it went a little astray. As neither noble nor freeman from Lei
Tabor, there was only one other option.."

"The map is indeed useful. But the Kralorelans are no friends either.
Their forts are to keep people out. Normally, no foreigners at all are
allowed in their lands, unless they have spent a year in quarantine.
They have had bad experiences in the past. Bad experiences from the
likes of the God Learners"
