Back to Act III for now. If all goes well for him, Luja might finally be on his way out of Lorrel without incident.
But then again, Salamanders and Goblins can both smell magic... and even if they don't discover him, the path that leads him home has one last trick to play regardless.

-Salamanders-

Their bodies infused with raw Fire magic, Salamanders are Humans whose bodies were altered by the power that overwhelmed them. Just like Orcs, Dwarves and Goblins, they are not welcome on Mancurian soil and often treated as test subjects in Krenya.
A common stereotype of a Salamander is of an emotionally-charged, angry thug brimming with hate. A recent scientific study on the subject has put forth a number of potential answers -- first, that there are certain qualities and traits innate to each type of magic, and overexposure brings out those same traits in the living.
Second, that the presence of such stereotypes regarding each type of magic in the first place is what causes individuals to believe they are being mentally altered as such, thus they come to embody those traits simply because they think they are.
Third, that it's all a load of Troglodyte dung.
