Desmond and Snow arrived at the camp at the northern-most bridge, to little fanfare. In fact, if the camp leader had his say, he likely would have rejected them at first glance. They were a troop of elves that were being led by a human, which made them highly suspicious. Elves nearer towards the central part of the country were naturally more prejudiced against other races because of the lack of exposure.
Seeing a human this far into elven territory was suspicious, to say the least. This was especially the case when considering that there was a civil war going on. The camp leader's tactical advisor recognized Desmond from a few days prior, which thankfully prevented any bloodshed from everyone involved.
At first, nobody paid attention to the words shared by the advisor because they didn't believe a human would be sent their way. Now, one of those very humans had arrived, proving the advisor's point.
