The elf tells the story of how he came to live near the city of Salas. He explains that the city is full of people who want to escape the horrors of the city and live in peace. He tells the elf that he has heard that Salas is a good place to live because it is rich in wood and ore, which can help those who live on the mountain make a living. The elf also tells the man that he is welcome to share a room with him and his beast companion. The man says that the elves are just "freaks" because they can do whatever they want with the woman. He says that most of the people in the city are xenophobic because they fear the magic of the elves.
