Chapter 2: Welcome to Thralind

Johnny’s journey to Thralind began with quiet days on the road alongside Aldrich, whose silence was only broken upon their arrival in the town. As they settled into Aldrich’s home, Johnny marveled at the craftsman’s impressive work adorning the house. Their evening was interrupted by the arrival of Max and Aphilion, two quirky repairmen tasked with fixing Aldrich’s kitchen cabinets. Johnny was introduced to their contrasting personalities: Max, cheerful and unfazed, and Aphilion, perpetually frustrated by faulty tools and his own clumsiness. Amid the laughter caused by their antics, Johnny shared stories of his farm life, recounting skills he hoped to bring to blacksmithing. The chapter closed with Max and Aphilion staying the night due to the storm, sparking playful banter about ghost stories, setting the tone for budding camaraderie. credit for ambience and music: https://open.spotify.com/track/2PYuLrrwCLtQSptUOy0b04?si=CpAYZceATkq3pGTOS7aJNg&context=spotify%3Atrack%3A2PYuLrrwCLtQSptUOy0b04 sneaky snitch by Kevin MacLeod
