Pale hands clutch onto a scrawled missive, reading it by firelight. Bodies huddle together in a cluster there in the encampment at the edge of the Gotaalv mountains. Several haggard souls murmur to one another as they discuss in hushed whispers, as if they might be overheard in the desolate wood. The barest snap of a branch in the cold, dark nigh stirs nerves.
A child, with little more than worn garb and a rucksack and a cloak, boards a ship. Sailors carefully usher the clustered masses into the hold. Constantly they look over their shoulder and up the shoreline with wary, anxious gazes. Winds howl across the desolate beach. Devoid of life, devoid of hope. Nothing good is left behind.
Word of mouth passes between those still beneath the yoke of the old rule of the clans - pennants of the Noble Wolf flap in the breeze, tattered. One of the last bastions of their once-great clan that yet stands. Cruel masters work those in their service to their limit under pain of death. Their servants prepare to flee in the night, escaping a land in tumult.
It is a risk, a gamble. A tempting rumor of safety and prosperity in a country far from home, far from the dregs of the King's loyalists or the squabbling children of his once-lofty clans.
A promise: for liberation, for a reversal of what has long been held by these people as the 'natural order'.
A promise of Sanctuary.
