Landmarks and words
Read What Was Left
A named road, readable book, or notice board gives the next purpose without naming every turn beyond it.
Work worth returning for
Find work by road and settlement, learn who needs it, and see the reward before you shoulder the risk. Sealed objectives remain for the party that reaches them.
The quest covenant
Ulna’s authored roads ask for more than a ledger of kills. Read landmarks and boards, carry proofs between people who disagree, and put tools, doors, and levers to use. A plain hunt remains an honest way to grow; the story road is meant to keep pace.

Proofs and workings
