>>5580534[Disfavored] The Rivers, damn them all. They are what come to mind. Your ancestral foe, the waters that which one never steps in twice. You think for a moment. The Peneus will need to be forded to go to Larisa (also known as Phthia, the set of King Peleus). Following the natural course of the river will be an unacceptable delay on your path to Mycenae.

You are unsure.
[Thessalian] Firsthand experience tells you that the northerners only grow bolder with the times, no matter how many of them you kill. [Giant] And you have killed many to test that induction. [Tactical Genius] Reason tells you that the city and the northern border are defensible with many less men than Peleus can call upon, so he should be able to spare a force. Achilles is not known for being cautious and will likely want to go. Fleet-footed Thetis is unpredictable, as all the goddesses of heaven are. [Olympian Blood] Perhaps you will ask her yourself.

Naturally, the higher the class of the man she marries the greater the bride-price paid to you will be. [Dutiful] Yet greed will not factor into your decision. You don’t know. Achilles is unmarried, him? A pipe-dream.
Your mind is wandering. You need to focus on the road.
