An ancient road whose northern terminus has a tower obliterated by dragon's fire centuries ago. It leads into lands considered mythic by those in Westeros.

Rowan and her new friends march along the road, passing river and hill and valley. Rowan sees elephants and hippos and gorillas over the next days, and it isn't until the fourth day of travel they see another human. A giant old black stone structure shoots out of the ground, and more of the natives come forth to look at the oddity. Rowan she's a few former slaves inside the building. They are alive but their condition cannot be judged from such a distance.

Rowan happily travels, clearly used to walking distances. Rowan is amazed at the new sights. They shy in fear at the gorrilas. They gasp at the unusual tower never having seen the like. They frown at the hiding slaves and go over to the tower doorway. 'Hallo.. Anyone talk like meh here?'

There's a dozen Westerosi in there. They seem well fed all look at Rowan. Rowan recognizes one of the villagers from Colsteel. "Rowan?" Derek the baker asked, "What in the Seven Hells happened to you?"

"Harris lived, the cunt," Derek said. "We got taken and these men took us when we crashed. They killed everyone who fought but since then they been feeding us well enough. Food tastes like liquid shit but they seem to like it." He shook his head. "We are heading somewhere, I think they're waiting on more stragglers."

"We can't talk to them," Derek said. "They hate the easterners for sure though. No one's been raped or killed yet that didn't try fighting." He gestured to the others. "Another hundred of us went south yesterday."

"They went south, Rowan," Derek said. "None of us got a fucking clue. You got your own fucking escort. Why?"

"Heard the word. No idea what it is." Derek pointed and Rowan sees a massive host of natives coming north along the road. "Looks like they got an army."

The army marches by and the escorts set up to go to bed. "Looks like you're with us now," Derek noted.

'Looks like..' Rowan finds a place inside the wrecked tower curls up and swiftly drops off to sleep unless disturbed.
