Backstory:
Tol Cherthand is an honorable bodyguard who has been hired by Torgill Terah Deepheavy, a well-known landholder and former adventurer in the hinterlands of Varisia to track down his wayward daughter, Gatherine, to bring her home if she is willing to give up her foolish notions of adventuring, and to make sure she (and her father's valuable dragon pistol) come to no harm if she persists. He tracked her first to Janderhoff, then to the docks at Magnimar, where he discovered that she had stowed away aboard a ship called the Jenivere, headed southwards to distant Sargava. He rode hard, and finally managed to catch up to the ship just before it left Corentyn at the southwesternmost point of Avistan. He booked passage for himself and his horse, Gorra, but has been unable to locate Gatherine aboard the ship. He doesn't want to ask for help from the crew of the ship, for fear that this might cause harm to befall his charge. (For instance, the precious gun might be seized as payment for her passage.) He plans to stick with the Jenivere until it reaches Sargava, to be sure she isn't aboard, but he fears she may have disembarked back in Cheliax, leaving him many weeks behind her.
