[Fenrir, Corhim and Dak have set off for to find the Fortress of the Yaun-ti.  But now Corhim has wanted a quick Teleportation detour to the Tower of Mathghamhna, the home of the Arcane Order.]

DAY 619  (12th Uktar) (November) cont ...

Corhim had been to the Arcane Order Headquarters once before. There is a dangerous over land route that can be taken, the tower is remote, located in the Nether mountains, 100 miles east of Sundabar. Corhim was teleported there the first time and also this time so he avoided all of that.

He was there to enrol as an Associate Member which mainly involved handing over 750 gold. He could become a full member if he wanted, but that was a lot more involved and time consuming. All he really wanted was access to their Spell Pool, which would (if I understand correctly) allow him to cast pretty much any spell as long as he paid it back later. There were a few other benefits and requirements involved with Associate Members but I'll not go into them now.

While Corhim went into Mathghamhna to deal with all that, Fang and Fenrir went into the nearby village of Narvik Rock. This settlement is right next door to the Arcane Order and is there to serve is more mundane needs. It has a population of about two thousand and two inns, one for poor travellers and one for richer folks like visiting wizards.

There was also a lodging house for visiting Associate Members, but they opted for the rich inn, and got a good table and sat down for a slap up feed of goat stew washed down with lashings of strong wheat beer.

I tell you what though, I'm glad I'm a druid, I don't have to go through all that rigmarole that wizards do. And I don't have to worry about demons coming to get me like Fenrir does, come to that.
