Beyaz Dag (7DRL 2016) - SUCCESS

[Naburimannu]

It is not far from Navekat and Suyab to the lake they call the Eye of the World. But the visions you sought there carried you much farther, across mountains, deserts, marshes, across the Mother River to the lonely Mount Beyaz. Here, perhaps, you can convince the merciful goddess who lives above the clouds to save your people from the plague.

[Naburimannu]

Beyaz Dağ towers solitary above the deserts. No rival peak dares rear up nearby, though a desultory range of hills stretches southwards. The mountain’s western slopes fall off steeply into a deep blue lake; north lie the marshes that fringe the Mother River.

[Naburimannu]

You never mastered sword and lance, like your brothers, but can shoot, ride, and wrestle as well as any of them.

Beyaz Dag teems with life: hyenas and gazelles in the desert scrub, deer, wolves, bear in the forests. Travelers you met on the Northern Road tell of other, darker things here: ruins, abandoned quarries, sunken grottoes...


Now you're almost through the marshes; the mountain rises to the southwest.

Down to my last swig of kumiss, saving it to drink just before the final battle. If I hadn't fought my way into a trove of bandages I'd be out by now. There's no point in carrying two bows or two spears, but encumbrance isn't even a stretch goal. Never found a shield.
