| 193 With a large number of mounted soldiers in pursuit you gallop down the south road. Quickly the pursuit falters. Pallenten is a mount unmatched by any of the guard's horses and leaving them far behind you ride like the wind, Pallenten's hooves pounding a drumbeat as you thunder on towards Das Frontiere. A good half hour later you pull Pallenten to a canter and consider your situation. As a Dwarvendim travelling alone you are an immediate target for any Kalborean looking for trouble. To pass through Das Frontiere unchallenged would be lucky indeed. Perhaps if you skirted the capital like you had Baellum? It is an idea with some merit but the city is huge. Picking your way around its fringes would be difficult and time consuming. Trotting over a slight rise you come upon another fork in the road. To your right a narrow road joins from the west. It is signposted as another route to Melem's Fork.
| Do you still wish to journey south to Das Frontiere? If so turn to section 255. If you would rather take the road west to Melem's Fork turn to section 225. On either side of the road you can see a number of farmhouses and fenced paddocks. Beyond them lay open ground and possibly a more direct route to the DevKraager Tor. If you think it will be more practical to strike out across country and make for the mountain this way, turn to section 261.
