Continuing from Previous Scenes.
The viewpoint character is Ser Litwitte.
Scene 10 - Aerie and Quest Renewed
I spent much of Harvest helping a new herald, the Meteor Knight, take command of Chider's Bastion. Soon they saw me as a threat to their authority and it was time to move on. Ser Floria took Dorza east and my former squire returned as Ser Dorza, the Reliquary Knight. They are tight-lipped about their sojourn. After a trip to the capital, we three knights are now on the trail of Kerensa, slayer of Chider.
Lost trail of Chider, and seek shelter from winter weather on Kindlemass. They reach a pristine tower among ancient glades, with pipe music coming from within (Hex 12L).
(Event - Escalate Vow)
They are welcomed to the Aerie of Grace by Ezta, a delicate woman in practical clothes. She compliments Ser Floria on the "Bone Charge" and introduces them to the pipers who reside here on a sacred duty.
While celebrating the Feast of the Moon, the Company hears how Kerensa was once one of them, but stole the Flute of Grace from the Aerie. Ser Floria swears to return the flute, and Ezta reveals that Kerensa was recently seen in Five Fortunes Keep to the northwest.
The Company spend a pleasant week sheltering from the winter. A pleasant time of basic food and pipe music spent sparring and studying. Ser Litwitte practices the flute, first time since childhood.
Scene 11 - Through the Snows
Being knighted has changed Ser Dorza. She's calmer and constantly reading from a chest of books. She bears a sacred skull of a forgotten seer, whose spirit she can command to serve in times of need. She's also ambitious, probably under Ser Floria's influence, already speaking of taking a squire.
Leaving the Aerie of Grace as the weather turns better, the Company follow directions north to get to Five Fortunes Keep. Their first night out sees them in good spirits, unworried by a fresh fall of light snow overnight.
Continuing northwest (Hex N13) through the trees, they encounter a huge stone archway, stars flickering in the shadows. They investigate, wandering who the temple might have been to. Spectral murmurings offer little insight and Ser Dorza's spirit from her Reliquary turns up nothing.
Heading on they enter hills (Hex O13)
