Perilous Travel

Tal'lek had spent three days navigating the ancient forest, hastily moving to and from each designated campsite that had been established by previous navigators hundreds of years ago. The braziers at the sites always remained lit, as the path from Alagorn and his destination, Vaamir was well-traveled. These fires were the saving grace for the traveler who did not want to become a saber cat's meal. The cats knew better than to trifle with anyone who wielded fire; their fur became saturated with oils as they hunted and swam in the swamp lands that were interspersed throughout the forest.
