Alekai reveals his motivation.

"I'm going out to the rolling plains to find a herd, challenge their leader for breeding rights to the mares. I'm a newly blooded stud so you can imagine how eager I am to start making foals. I expect to lose a number of times before I can acquire a herd of my own. But this little wand I have now might just give me the edge I need... Most centaurs will fight with martial weapons as we're not great spell casters... The fae have not blessed us, rarely one will come with some innate Druidic Magicks, but ultimately a centaurs power relies on his speed and strength." Alekai explains. "But I still need a proper weapon, and some hide."

"For reference, this diciduous forest Peters out into a rainforest if you follow the river upstream, that's after you reach town, down river is a costal area, an estuary... I don't know any coastal towns nearby but of you follow the coast you're bound to hit one. The Rolling plains, where I'm going is directly across the river."

"Does knowing that help you draw a clear path?"
