The Sand Whisperer
We knocked on the door of the compound. A fierce looking man glared out at us but granted us admission when we told him we came bearing gifts for the Sand Whisperer.
The Sand Whisperer was busy with his dinner, so we waited in silence until he finished. He looked at us with a passive face and asked our reason for seeking him out. We explained we were seeking directions to the Ruby Falls. He grunted and asked us what gifts we bore. I laid a knife with a ruby hilt I had procured at the Palace gift shop before him. He grunted again and seemed satisfied.
"You proceed to the village of Grimwood Burrough. The people there will instruct you further. They are a strange race of people that we know little about. I will send you to the border in the undertaker's carriage. That will keep you safe from the road vagabonds."
With that he grew silent again. We took it as a sign that we were dismissed. We left to find the undertaker's carriage.
