Han Sen ascended a mountain, led by an old man. He was on his way to Thorn Shelter.
The mountainsides were steep, and unlike the woodland that circled them, they were barren. The environment there was poor, which provided little reason for creatures to visit; as such, there was a noticeable lack of them.
The old man did not go too far across the mountain, and when he decided to return, he instructed Han Sen on which way he should go.
Han Sen's purpose for making this venture to Thorn Shelter was to meet the person who had supposedly risked life and limb in warning the knight shelter and its inhabitants of an imminent attack.
After one hundred miles of travel, Han Sen was finally able to lay eyes on the black shelter which resided on the peak of that mountain.
Above the foothills of the mountain, Han Sen caught sight of creatures, running to and fro.
