Take a moment to rest here before continuing. The path is perilous and filled with dangers. You should not continue on when tired, ignorant, or unsteady.
When you are ready to continue, turn south and head down the path to Cimar. There you will find the academy where you may train your mind and body to prepare. If, you dare continue at all. There is no shame in turning away for safer pastures. There is no shame in giving up. Not everyone is meant to be an adventurer. Not everyone is meant for greatness.
Oh, you're still here? Well then, perhaps you have decided after all..
