Fang

Timestamp: Foot of the Mountain range Fang

Five days after your strange encounter with the old woman, you reach the plateau that leads to Fang. You are greeted by a couple of warriors who escort you across deep ravines and narrow valleys, as you move deeper into the mountain range.
A sea of abandoned sandstone buildings spreads across the mountain cliffs. The ancient, crumbling masonry looks as if it has grown into the rock, the remnants of a by-gone civilisation already fused with nature.

Once in a while the silence of the mountain air is pierced by loud whistling. One of your escorts whistles back. Sir Zane informs you that the mountain inhabitant use a whistled language to communicate across the deep ravines and narrow valleys that radiate through Fang. It enables messages to be exchanged over a distance of up to 5 miles. A excelent tool in overcoming distance and terrain.

Situated on a highland plateau with scenic views is your destination. A small camp of tipis is already picthed. A group of around 20 armed warriors seem to expect you. Hardy and rugged, they are sitting around a small fire. A group of shaggy ponies and a couple of goats grazes nearby.
