Two weeks later…
Qulin City, Oxborn Duchy, Celahan Empire.
The expedition party finally arrived at Qulin City after a relatively steady return journey from the Great Berserk Beast Forest.
Once they crossed into the civilised borders of the Celahan Empire, the remainder of the journey became noticeably more peaceful.
Unlike within the Hollowcrest Wildlands, incidents involving bandits were comparatively rare—perhaps even close to non-existent—as the group only encountered three such groups throughout the journey.
That said, bandit groups bold enough to operate within civilised territories tended to be far larger and significantly better equipped than their Wildlands counterparts… though generally weaker in individual combat strength.
