Adrana led us on a pretty chase, I can tell you! Over hill and vale, losing us completely in the Wilds. I would never have gone with that strange wild woman, but Albus insisted on following her. Somehow, I wasn't suprised, yet had we stayed with the sledbeasts, we would have amost certainly died.

Adrana took us, by a roundabout route, to a small lake nestled in the foothills of the mountains. The snow wasn't long from the peaks, and the air was bitterly icy. Down in the recess, though, the warmth and closeness of the steam was stifling for ones such as we, used to the thin mountain air. The water itself was as a warm bath, though I has lost my thermometer during the mountain passing which somehow made the experience all the more satisfying.
Adrana seemed able to set my mind at rest with her smiles and her strange crooning language. I doubted very much that she could understand a word we said to her, but she knew the lands better than Albus or I ever could and, I am not ashamed to admit, had saved us from a grizzly fate more than once. It was at this place, that we later knew as Tokai Drah - the small water - that we met the rest of Adrana's tribe. Such people they were, to survive in a place such as this, one could do naught but marvel at their ingenuity and resourcefulness. More welcoming, too, than any man or woman I had ever met, they welcomed us into their tribe with the minimum of fuss, gave us food, medicine, weapons, for the snow had ruined our power, and companionship. So great was ther generosity that it was nigh on two years before I found myself becoming homesick.

In the mean time, the Wilds themselves were far less hospitable.
