Used: Place of Shelter between Vale and Calithia Empty Used: Place of Shelter between Vale and Calithia

Running on foot , or even on horse back, from vale to calithia for a certain quest is absolutely lethal for those of us that hate the sun. Starting from the dragon at 18:00 game time, Barius and Karrinne showed Jay the way.. we were half way there in the middle of the desert communties when the sun rose.. no shelter in sight at all. It took Jay constant "charging" , a whole stock of asis critical potions (near 20ish), plus a wand of cure moderate wounds (which was just purchased in vale the night before) to just scrape it alive into Calithia.(Let alone find some shade) Now did we miss somewhere to hide in our running or was there no-where to hide?
Later returning to Calithia to hunt down it's portal and look for rest stops along the way , Jay tried this same trip alone on horseback, it was a better run but the sun still caught me just over half way ( after leaving from Mountinholme Castle at 18:00), and that's death coming for Jay.. I know this is a small gripe but what would happen if say a vampire tried that same trip? Their damage from sunlight is much, much worse than a Shadow Child's.
So can I put a suggestion forth for a place of shelter in one of the desert communties?, a cave, caravan, inn... anything would be appriciated..
Thanks

That was a quick response.. thank you. I'll look forward to hunting this new shelter spot. Long trips in Aenea in general can sometimes be lethal, especially if you get lost, have no idea where you are and have completely forgotten where the last shelter was .. because inbetween leaving it and dawn you've battled a zillion bandits, mages, goblins, found a portal, worked out its clue, done some fishing, went for a swim, changed through 15 odd areas following a random path exploring this huge and detailed world and you have a memory like a goldfish..
Maybe you only need one hut/ new area as well.. a generic "inside hut/house/caravan" with all the other outside doors leading into this one area.. not sure how you'd decide to find out where you were for getting back though.. any way just an idea..

Now in Smile

Added an underground area to Calith's Well.

Added an "abandoned" tavern to Valic.

Triggers in place as you run by that let you know shelter is nearby (if you are a vampire, shadow child, or drow).

Edited to add: there are also shops and a few other places to check out along the way (such as in Tradeholm, the caves just past Mistborne, the cave near Primustown, just to name a few).
