A stillness has laid too long across these lands. The warriors are restless, artisan’s work is prepared, bardic voices yearn to be heard, and archers are rosining their bows.

You must pick up after your pet and unless in your camp in a kennel/tent/your lap – they must be on a leash with a human attached to the other end at all times.
