Mac'Leany Rodgan was riding her mektoub to a new location, as usual, when she noticed something shining on the floor. She dismounted and picked up what happened to be a ring.
The archaeologist was annoyed when she looked at the ring. She had seen many, but how could this one have ended up here? The perspective of a new mystery to solve made her smile.
Looking closely at the ring, she noticed something engraved inside and concluded that it was most likely a wedding band.

"Easy for now! That name sounds like a Tryker's name. Honey, all you have to do is go to Fairhaven and find out!" she said, talking aloud to herself like a lonely homina for too long.

It took her a couple of seconds to realize the varinx wasn't at all smiling at her, but was about to pounce on her. She was distressed! She quickly hopped onto her mektoub and stormed off.
"AAAAHHHHHHHHH! Into the vortex! Into the vortex!"
Mac'Leany Rodgan's mount was shaking on its legs as it passed through the portal, but it had outrun the varinx.
"Well, riding to Fairhaven will take a a couple of days at most. I should be there no later than 14h - Dua, Frutor 8, 3rd AC 2625*. Let's go!"
