The raven followed the speck on the ground with lazy caution, that grew into more keen wariness as the ramshackle buildings of Whitebrim came into view. From his lofty position Korbin had an excellent view over the longhouses huddled together behind a slipshod barricade.

This soon after LongNight the buildings were mostly snowed over, and he could detect no movements below.

Quoth the Raven,
"Nevermore."
"Nevermore."
