Chapter 5

So, with his vision laid out before him, he began contemplating the various
towns or cities that would have him. Of course, he considered staying in
Upper Cragstone but it just didn't feel right to stay where he'd been most all
of his life, if he was going to journey out on his own. Galadon was a
frontrunner for a while, since it seemed to be quite well populated and had a
river running through it, much the same as Udgaard. However, Galadon and
Udgaard both shared the same problem, they were too confining. And that left
just Hamsah Mutazz.

It still didn't have the feel of home, graffiti on the walls, filth in the
river, camel dung in the streets but it would have to do for now. So, he took
off to the southeast of the city center along the east Al Abbas and turned
northwards along the street of guilds. It wasn't long before he made another
turn to the east and climbed up into the Shapeshifter's guild. Once inside,
he was greeted with a plethora of books on all sorts of animals, mammals,
birds, aquatic creatures and many others. The massive dome of stained glass
had his attention for a while until a soft voice eventually made him advert
his gaze.

This man, confined to a chair, was the Guildmaster. Although it was clear
that he'd been through some sort of ordeal, his countenance was clear and easy
to understand. Outhyen expressed his desire to make a study of shifting
magics and the wizened mage smiled. Before long, he'd quickly helped him
understand the basics of the guild teachings, imparted some minimal level of
understanding dagger fighting as well as the most modest magics that are
taught within the guild.
