[08:26] Saku Sayyid (mi.yuequi): Ah, Sir. Kurtzal lies east by southeast of Port Victoria, three days' ride by kaiila if the winds favor you, five if they do not. Travel along the trader’s route past the salt flats of Varn, then turn south at the twin date palms—locals call them the Brothers. From there, follow the dry riverbed until the scent of citrus and the shimmer of domes greet your eyes.
[08:27] Abraham عبر Jacobson (abrahamjacobs2): Thank you. Lara good to see you, what is your postion her in Victoria
