After several leagues through semi-wild forests, the rickety wagon carrying you finally comes into view of a sign of civilization. Spanning a wide river, a small stone bridge is protected by substantial military structures. In comparison, the village on the opposite bank seems quite small.
As you approach, you notice a strong current flowing through the river and numerous reefs hindering navigation. With such a natural border, the fortified structure was probably one of the few crossing points allowing entry into the kingdom of Faraway.

At the border, the guards quickly inspect the cargo and passengers of the vehicle before letting you pass. Upon arriving at the village, you take your leave of the kind traveler who agreed to take you this far. Finally: you have arrived in the kingdom of Faraway, a small kingdom on the fringes of civilization, where you hope to make a name for yourself.
