| - | In the meantime, the others’ investigations find things that soon match up with what Fraud and Wilmot learn. Bog goes out to the ruins and recognises that they are First Age ruins, some of whose stones have been used in the building of the Temple (Shrett and Boamund inside the Temple have seen such evidence). The ruin is an Enerali structure, Bog observes. The Enerali were predecessors of the Galanini; horse-riders and among the first to build things in what became Ralios. Indeed, they built some structures at Hrelar Amali. https:// | + | In the meantime, the others’ investigations find things that soon match up with what Fraud and Wilmot learn.

| The ruins have some walls remaining, at best reaching to 6 to 9m long and 1m high, surrounded and partly engulfed by the marsh. In one area, the stone work has been cleared of surrounding vegetation and muck, and some excavations have been made. The stones there show inscriptions in Boatspeech, and some crude depictions: A great serpent wrestling with many misshapen humanoid figures, in a swampy setting by a river. Some of the figures seem to have turned away from the battle in more humanlike forms. Bog gets Fraud to copy down what is written there, although none of you can read Boatspeech. | The ruins have some walls remaining, at best reaching to 6 to 9m long and 1m high, surrounded and partly engulfed by the marsh.
