More than a month had passed since Evan had set out northeast from Lirath.
He had considered several cities as a destination, but BranLeaf quickly became his primary choice for one very specific reason.
It was considered the adventurers' paradise.
If Lirath, by virtue of the Greystone Forest, was thought of as a small adventurer's haven due to the wide variety of beasts one could find nearby, then BranLeaf was the adventurers' paradise. It was the capital of the Greymark Duchy, one of the three duchies of the Kingdom of Solren, which made it not only far larger and more important than Lirath, but also considerably more powerful and full of opportunities of every kind.
Evan, of course, cared very little about any of that.
He had decided to travel and see the world with his own eyes, but also because growing stronger was still a priority, and what better way for someone like him to do that than by hunting increasingly powerful beasts?
