| 297 The body of the Hresh is enough evidence for you. Turning Pallenten to the west you head off directly for the marshes and then turn southwards following the border of the wetlands. As you ride through the long grasses you realise that the body of the Hordim underlines your need for caution. With the Horde roaming the plains of Northern Kalborea this far to the south, you feel your quest becoming all the more complicated with each hour that passes. It would appear that you now have more than just the Kalboreans to worry about. For a time your thoughts are focused on the way ahead, the rhythmic pounding of Pallenten's hooves and the regular rise and fall of her head as she gallops a comforting reminder of how fast you are covering the distance to your goal. Indeed, so fast is her progress that you reach the south-eastern corner of the marshes by mid-afternoon. Turning Pallenten westwards you can see the rising summit of the Devkraager Tor directly ahead. Heartened by the ease with which you have made the southern boundaries of the Faeron you give Pallenten a further flick on her reins. In the fresh afternoon air she accelerates, taking advantage of the large tracts of grassland ahead. Only when you look back to check for any sign of pursuit do you see the approaching storm, a dark wall of cloud and mist advancing from the north.
