### 247

The highway descends into a wide valley that bears the scars of war—derelict cottages, their walls broken and charred, dot the landscape. You cross a stagnant stream by a rickety wooden bridge and climb towards a copse of trees at the brow of a hillock. As you draw closer to the copse you hear a low hypnotic chant coming from somewhere inside the ring of trees.

If you have the Magnakai Discipline of Divination, turn to 206.

If you wish to dismount and investigate the sound, turn to 13.

If you wish to ignore it and continue along the highway to Soren, turn to 102.
