Crystal Desert – Desert Highlands – Palace of Aban

Legendary Ellutherius Wintergust: Our fight reminds me of how the guards would spar out front. Sometimes I’d jump in to keep them on their toes.
–
Legendary Ellutherius Wintergust: Famous artists traveled miles to feature their work here. The giant urns took months, if I remember.
–
Legendary Ellutherius Wintergust: Do they still call it the Palace of Aban? “Palace” always seemed like such an overstatement.
–
Legendary Ellutherius Wintergust: The waterfalls mean it’s never too quiet here. Far more soothing than the prattle of gossiping courtiers.
–
Legendary Ellutherius Wintergust: Part of me hates this place, even after I’ve brought in all this lovely snow. It’s my pride, I expect.
–
Legendary Ellutherius Wintergust: I suppose it wasn’t the prince’s fault I got stuck here. I was a gift, you know. A royal gift. What an insult.
–
Legendary Ellutherius Wintergust: How long has it been since the prince had his small court in the palace? His throne isn’t even here anymore.
–
Legendary Ellutherius Wintergust: I taught the prince to use a sword. His skills were famous. And he always gave me credit.
