The journey through the city reminded me of entering Whiterun in Skyrim: passing through the homes and the market, then up the main curling thoroughfare to the Jarl's hall. By the time we reached Ostock, I was preconditioned to hear him in Balgruuf's voice. I was not disappointed.

One editing note: the line, [“Can you prove you’re the one they call Wolfmother?” he asked.] is formatted as a block quote. I wasn't sure if that was intention? To make it stand out as a kind of episode tagline?

It's not supposed to be formatted that way. I must've clicked a button by mistake and missed it. Thanks for pointing it out and sharing your insights!

What a concydink. An 8-year-old male child with the same name as her dead son.

Your description of the keep was great, even down to the neglected hinges (Showing signs of rust on the iron.)

Since you've described it as a fever that no known medicine can cure, the mystic in me wonders if it's a supernatural sickness and if the WolfMother Gauir can cure it.
