*An Epilogue of [[The Boy Scout Boys Campaign]].* *In [[1459 AoM]], the people of [[Gavony]] celebrate the return of [[Astrazalian, The City of Starlight|Astrazalian]] to [[The Material Plane of Caledon]] and the prosperity it brings. Meanwhile, new settlers, [[The Refugees of Misthollow]], celebrate their new home.* --- The [[Gavony Town Square|plaza]] had never been so packed like this before... well at least not for 30 plus years. The return of [[Astrazalian, The City of Starlight|Astrazalian]] to the [[The Material Plane of Caledon|mortal plane]] during the summer had been a jubilant surprise for everyone, especially for the merchants of [[Gavony]]. [[Kevish Skeingold|Kevish]] and [[Rezan Skeingold]] couldn't have come across better luck to help them restore the [[Skeingold Traders|business]] their [[Vasily Skeingold|late father]] had built. The [[Whitefist Family|Whitefists]], [[Dosk Family|Dosks]], and [[Havenwood Family|Havenwoods]] were also merry as shown by their drunken parties in the plaza tents at night. A small little [[Kordov Booksellers|bookstore]] is also doing quite well, travelers interested in recent stories from the past 30 years and an increasing selection of ultra rare books that they somehow have come across. With the [[Straken Road|main trade road]] almost complete thanks to the help of the [[Dwarf|dwarves]] of [[Strakenholme]], plenty of workers have traveled to Gavony to help expand the town. Many [[The Refugees of Misthollow|members]] of [[The Brokenstone Vale]] have considered laying down roots here, or maybe just have a summer home. [[Ketrine|Ketrine Skeingold]] finally meets the rest of her family. At first there are some challenges, some awkwardness, but eventually the pieces fit nicely together. Ketrine debates making Gavony her permanent home again. There's pain, but there's also the chance for making new memories. She hasn't made her decision yet. The most notable of recent constructions has been a tall [[Lazhna's Tower|Wizard's tower]], located a ways into [[The Whispering Woods]] where many still dare not trek. [[Lazhna Whitesmith]], the world famous wizard, adventurer, and now author, who helped slay [[Orzith Ilix, The Thought Collector|the god of time]], and freed Gavony of its corruption, has been heard to have taken a liking to the small town. Some say they've seen Lahnza, in a different form of course, all probably tall tales. All except one boy beginning to grow into a man at the small bookshop right on the river. Ah but [[Dimitri Kordov|Mitya]]'s is a tale for another time. --- "AHAAA.... I finally bested you!" [[Brett]] the [[Rogue]] from [[The Brokenstone Vale]] leaps up from the table in victory. [[Champ]] smiles wide gets up and slaps Brett on the back, "Aye, but I'll get you next time. I don't want to see you slacking or holding back now that you've gotten me once." [[Ashwood|General Ashwood]] and [[Viktor Mazan|Viktor]] and a few other [[Lycanthrope|Lycanthropes]] are all laughing and drinking ale in their tent. The sounds of [[Aspenvale Woods|The Aspenvale Woods]] in the mortal plane just outside of [[Astrazalian, The City of Starlight|Astrazalian]] are new but still eerily familiar. Brett jumps up on the table and starts chugging his Ale in boast. As he gets to the end of his drink the cheering stops but Brett doesn't realize as he polishes it off and continues to hoot and holler until he realizes everyone is looking at the entrance to their tent. "Mind if I join you?" A slight glow emanates from the [[Huntress of Lunara|Huntress]], [[Aldera Fawnrunner]]. There is a moment of silence, probably only a few seconds but feels like ages. And in one moment the whole tent of lycranthropes begins cheering again. Champ wraps his arm around Aldera as he ushers her into the tent while Viktor Mazan hands her an ale. "I gotta say you are a tough one, going against [[The Blackbloods|Blackblood]] forces like that to get us out of those woods," says Brett as he clanks his stein against hers. "It was a close one that's for sure, I'm just glad we got everyone out safely... and that we... I..." Everyone around Aldera gets quiet. Viktor speaks up "Hey, there was a [[The War of Mist Peace Pact|contract]], the [[Archfey]], my ancestor, the [[Ciradyl Elastraee, The Maiden of the Moon|Maiden]], they all caused this. When you are told your whole life that this is what's right, then that's what you believe. We all learned to get here today, the more you punish yourself the more you're taking energy away from doing more good." Viktor gently lifts Aldera's arm until she's standing and raises his stein as the rest of his clan follows suit. "The Vale is no longer a place, a prison, or a painful home. It is the way we move through the world, it is us... including you Aldera. To Brokenstone Vale." "To Brokenstone Vale!" ---
