(By the way if you see me saying 'Vanessa' instead of 'Alessandra', just know it's Alessandra because she's modeled off of a character named Vanessa in TNK.)

The upgrade of the gates of Cheydinhal was complete. The city was very easy to defend now. No battering ram could get through the gates for a long time.

The community of Harlun's Watch had grown since the 3rd Era, but not by a whole lot. There were 20 men there who joined the army, with only a couple left to farm. Still, the area prospered, and the construction of new homes built into the hillside began. This also worked as a stone quarry as well. Miners were hired to dig out bases for the homes in the hillside. The hill was more resilient than expected, so the process was slow, but that only meant the stone was of a high quality. The stone collected went to the construction of the wheat mill. The mill's stone basis was coming into shape.

Amicus was working with Alessandra currently, discussing new escape routes and such that had been opened. Alessandra pointed out where a secret entrance to Cheydinhal was. "Right here is an entrance where we can sneak in again if we are ever overtaken."

"But that's right through the restricted zone of Wyrmroost. We'd never get through alive!"

"Not if somebody in the group has this."

Vanessa revealed a necklace with the fang of a alpha valdewyrm as the main piece. "It's enchanted to repel the wyrms. They won't attack you or anyone within about 10 feet of you, but anyone outside of that circle is free game." She gave it to Amicus, who slipped it into his pocket. "Thank you," Amicus said.

"You're the only person who can currently get through there unhindered by the wyrms, besides Draken. Keep that with you, just in case you need it."
