[Erebor]

There will be scars.

He has heard much about the Valley. Enough to know that the man who rules there may have caused the disaster that befell the Chamber. Enough to know that the king of the Valley is a magician. Enough to know that when he approaches, he should approach with caution. There are other mythical kingdoms, and perhaps, kingdoms stronger (the two magicians of the Deserts come to mind) but there are few that have this kind of concentrated power. He can feel it almost like a physical entity as he reaches the border.

With idle curiosity, he wonders where Shaytan is. They're meant to travel here together, to visit as a pair, but so far he is alone. Perhaps she's off somewhere rolling around in grass, he thinks, but with amusement rather than unkindness.

He reaches the edges of the kingdom easily enough. It is desolate here, feeling much like the Chamber itself, really, although there isn't the ash that seems omnipresent everywhere within his home. He can see the choppy ground, evidence of an earthquake, but he can also see that it is starting to heal. Interesting, he notes, that the land itself has not been fully healed. If he had magic, that would've been the first thing he would have done.

And with that, he halts on the border and calls for anyone who might come. He knows that they are allies, but still he will not set foot inside the border without being invited. With a magician at the helm, they should know soon enough, and they should come.
