Background
The wilderness had both shielded and thwarted the traders and merchant in the port city of Ryder's Cove for generations. The wilderness impassable barrier made exploration, trade, and conquest very difficult -- if not downright impossible. Only the ocean provided the necessary means by which the city and its occupants survived and then flourished. Achemin knew this, of course. He had been warned about traveling in the wilderness, but he had also heard the stories -- stories of other civilizations and riches beyond one's belief past the forest. He knew of stories of the fabled Watchtower from which one could see the entire forest and what takes place there. He therefore ignored the warnings, abandoned his family, and slipped away one night under the blanket of darkness to look for fortune.
He was able to get in contact with other populations, and came back to town to help establish new trading routes across the forest.
But none know if he ever found the Watchtower and what eventually was in it...
