As you leave the stables, you see more people up and about. Some wish you safe travels, while others seem busy with their tasks for the say. As you see your home come back into view, your father is currently taking a short break, smoking a pipe. When he notices you, he sets his pipe down for the moment.
"Well, looks like my little girl is all ready to head out. Be safe out there, and don't be afraid to turn back if things get difficult out there. The world can be a unforgiving place."
After a few more words of goodbye, you take out the well-worn map your mother left behind. On it, you see a much larger world laid out before you. Here, you see how far your mother claims to be, and the many different routes to get there. The easiest would be the trade city, Baelum. You have been there before when you were younger, and were overwhelmed by the large buildings and amount of people. There are many craftsman there, but you are not sure if their work is the specialized crafts you want to learn, or those who make things in bulk..
The other close city you see is the dwarven city of Bellhammer. You know that there are many forges there, seeings as how the dwarves pride themselves on metal working. However, you would be going there blind.
