However, we have no reports of enemies approaching from the north — we have not been menaced by anything from that direction in centuries. It may be that any possibility of escaping the imminent slaughter lies there. If our historical records are correct, the caverns should take us far from this land. It is my hope that the humans and their fell allies are not informed of any of this."
