The next morning comes soon enough and at last you start your long journey.
The well-paved road allows for rapid progress and soon the walls of Riva and its towers disappear behind you.
After just two miles you reach Orkrath, a village, or rather a suburb of Riva itself. The farms here mostly belong to wealthy farmers who can sell their crops at high prices in the city. Besides the farmhouses and a few guarded merchants' villas, Orkrath also has a tiny shrine to Hesinde, the goddess of magic and wisdom.
The road deteriorates significantly after Orkrath. However, it is well-trodden and easily passable.
In the afternoon you reach Ulva, a tiny fishing village with 180 inhabitants. Besides the inn, which doesn’t even bear a name, there is nothing exciting about this hamlet. There is a coal mine nearby though.
At the end of the third day of your journey you reach Trasik, which is slightly larger than Ulva and has 200 inhabitants. Nivesian hunters often sell their game here. There's a small shop where you can buy everything you need for hunting. Spelt farmers, fishermen, and shepherds live here.
So far… nothing out of the ordinary has happened.
