Here! We’re going to the Ganarath River- the name’s the same in both realms, but Merry Morgan’s palace is located at the source, and it’s a very popular fishing spot. Lots of people travel there, so it’s not gonna seem strange if two people show up from abroad.

So Merry Morgan is a noblewoman who presides over the Ganarath River and its tributaries…

[And then there’s a big infodump I’m not typing out twice when there’s a perfectly good summary right here. Hopefully, Zel will find the story more digestible than the soup was. Once Emery's laid out the essentials he looks at Zel expectantly, awaiting any questions.]
