Lart's Journey

In the year 1663 Lart would be selected as an envoy for the GobGob Engineering Corp (GGE Co.) to bring letters to the nations of Berok and Cainaan to request railroad rights. His journey is the tale that will be told.
== Into Berok ==
Lart, begins Khobolk, as Chief Envoy Officer I would like to congratulate you with your nomination as envoy to Berok and Cainaan. Two small nations but nonetheless very important to continue our ever expanding railroad network. You orders are to deliver the sealed contents of these letters to the respective leaders of the countries. You shall be provided a decent stippend to fund your journey. Once you have returned you shall receive a small bonus, with the potential for an even bigger bonus if the two nations agree with our terms. Lart begins talking, thank you miss he says excitingly. I fully understand the importants of this job and will make posthaste to Berok and Cainaan. I shall see you in a couple months with two signed letters! 
Lart's journey to Berok was swift for the Trans-Continental Express provided a the fastest serves in all of Bataf. Lart knew this very well, in his time as an envoy he had travelled around a lot in the Oroborian Empire. Representing the interest of GobGob Engineering Corp was not something he expected to be doing many years ago. However, when the job landed into his hands he turned out to be a successful envoy. Always return with signed letters, so that the GGE Co. could expand their every expanding railroad. Lart knew full well that this succes was what got him the important job of representing his company in Berok and Cainaan. Lart's thought came to an end as the rhythmic chugging of the train stopped. He had arrived at the last station before the Berokian border. From here on out he had to travel along by cart. When Lart stepped out of the wagon he looked at the front of the train. Here he saw labourers working away on extending the track. Then his head turned to a lone carriage waiting there. He decided to approach the wagon, when suddenly the driver popped up from behind the wagon. Lart I presume, said the well dressed man. Please take a seat, I shall be driving you to Bralutko, the capital of Berok. The journey in the carriage was far less smooth. Lart's bum hurted the whole way and he looked forward to every nightly stop so that he could finally get a proper rest. If only they had a railroad here, people wouldn't have to travel in such terrible conditions, Lart thought to himself. During his journey Lart would often look out of the window with a sense of wonder. The Berokians were a strange bunch of people, always drinking and some of them even know how to ride bears! Primitive but nonetheless ingenious. Lart wondered to himself what could only be accomplished if the Berokians had a proper rail system. 
Then his thought were broken as the door was opened. We have arrived at Bralutko Castle, said the driver. The Bear-Prince has been notified of your arrival and has set your meeting for tomorrow morning. Lart jumped out of the carriage, grabbed his belongings and was escorted by a guard to his chambers. Here he was given a meal by one of the servants. Who apologized profusely as it was custom to invite envoys to dinner, however the main meal was already long finished. The next morning Lart was awoken by a deep resonant sound, looking out of his window overlooking the courtyard he saw the sound was coming from the war bears. Terrifyingly large beast, that could surely eat poor Lart in one snap. Lart got dressed had his morning meal and headed out towards his meeting with the Bear-Prince. On the throne sat an older women, Lart judged her to be in her late 50's perhaps early 60's. She wore a sparkling green dress with the pendant of a two bear heads around her neck. She spoke up, you may approach, despite her age her voice was still firm carrying a significant amount of power with it. Lart approached as he had done before making a bow. Your highness my name is Lart and I'm here to represent the interest of the GobGob Engineering Corp. We wish for the granting of rail rights so that we can extend our railroad into Berok. Both our company and your country are to prosper from this endeavour. Naturally we will pay Berok a handsome sum for these rights. Please accept this letter detailing our plans and arrangements for payments. A guard approached and took the letter from Lart's hands. The guard then handed the letter over the the Bear-Prince. She carefully used a small dagger she had by her side to open the letter. Carefully reading its contents before returning with a simple response. We refuse. Our gold is currently tied up in other endeavours, I would kindly ask you to leave now there are other people waiting for an audience with me. Lart's hart sank, an outright refusal had never happened to him before. Lart tried blurting something out, but he was quickly told to be silent by the women once more. Escort him out, she commended. The meeting had ended faster than Lart had hoped. 
Heading towards his chambers he was approached by a man in a cowled hood. Ah you're Lart right? The envoy for the GobGob Co? Please follow me I have an offer for your, one that will be sure that you can return home with a signed letter. The arrived at a small room in an empty corner of the castle. The cowled man spoke, if I heard right you will be heading to Cainaan after this, correct? Lart nodded, stating that he was indeed to do so. Well here is my offer. When you're in Cainaan, could you perhaps keep an eye out for my missing son. I suspect he has joined the armies of Cainaan and I sorely miss him. So could you keep an eye out for him, its best to count the amount of soldiers that you see on the way. Then when you have done your business with the lords up north, please return here to share the information. Then I shall put in a good word with the Bear-Prince. My word carries weight around her. O and could you tell me more about the landscape, peoples and the castles of Cainaan? I always wanted to visit, but due to my position in court I'm afraid that I won't be able to visit for a while. I shall also make sure that you're granted a passage of safe conduit so that you can cross the Berok-Cainaan border with ease. Lart looked confused at first, but he felt like the man was being honest. I accepted good sir, Lart answered. I shall be sure to return here first, before heading home! Now if you will excuse me I shall go to my chambers, to gather my belongings and then I will go out to the city centre to explore this fine town.
