Lynn headed to the Harpist Alliance immediately upon receiving the notification. He had to find out why the message from the other side had come so urgently this time.
For many years, such messages coming from across the desert were generally from the followers of the Goddess of Magic.
After all, that was the realm of Santir Fortress, the mortal enemies of the Harpists, and only those mages adept at using magical curios to transmit messages could send information so swiftly.
Although the arcanists of Shade Soul City were part of the Evil Faction, they still gave mages a break, so many caravans crossing the desert employed lower-level mages, requiring nothing else from them.
The caravans only needed someone who could communicate with the mages of Shade Soul City when they were unlucky enough to get caught on their territory. It was all right to offer money or goods, just so long as they didn't end up obliterated by a spell.
