Let’s follow Evellyn for a while

Evellyn wades out of the pond, soaking wet and simmering with anger, but unable to do anything about her impotence. There she was, ditched stark naked in the middle of the woods goddess knows where or how far from the city...

She shakes her long hair as she steps onto the bank, trying to get the water out, but it merely results in strings of dripping hair clinging to the sides of her face. Brushing it aside with one hand - the other draped over her chest out of an instinctive modesty - she began looking around. All she sees is dense pinewood forest on a hilly, gently sloping landscape; she has no idea where she is or where the town is. Even if she did, she first needed to try and scavenge clothes of some kind from where, because she couldn’t just stroll into town in this state.

Well.. she could, and that damned thief would probably insist on it... but she isn’t going to admit defeat that easily. She’s a knight, she should be resourceful! She just fervently hopes that you’re not lurking nearby waiting to make her life even more miserable.

First thing’s first: a direction. North or south?
