- "So you thinks the Iron Forts aren't Mostali but Kralorelan. answered Azhur, revisiting his poor knowledge of the eastern parts of Glorantha. Could it be that they have conquered the secret of iron to the Mostali as the Seshnegi did a long time ago? This is both a good and a bad news. We wouldn't have to fight the Mostali our allies, but Kalen won't get any support in this direction."

Azhur made a silent pause, thinking.
- " Well, I still think that Kalen must save his life by escaping instead of saving his secret by committing some despaired act. I will copy the map that Karala gave me and if you can, would you furnish it to Kalen? Are you with your master able to researches in town for our goal in this miserable land? Knowledge
of the flail will be found with a man named Yao Fune' has said the Nameless Man. Do you know something about a sir named Yao Fune? The Dragonewt we met before the wreck was also looking for him and his Klanth-flail, but he is probably dead by now... while Nauticles the Wise told us that Yao
Fune was was in here in Lei Tabor : a peasant and a leader of a
pacifist religious cult with many adherents. Perhaps inquiring on this cult is the easiest way to find his tracks? Let's look for them and see if we could have any help from there..."

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"
