Draven slowly spread the brown beast hide across the stone table, using both hands to smooth out its rough surface before pointing toward the markings drawn across it.
There were eighteen different routes marked across the hide, each leading into a separate section of the underground trenches.
What caught Thoren's attention, however, was the system of stars drawn beside several routes.
Some had one star, others had two, while a few were marked with three. The markings were simple, but their meaning was immediately clear once Draven began explaining them.
One star represented the safest routes they had discovered, although that did not mean those places were completely free of danger.
Two stars indicated routes where the threats were considerably greater, requiring stronger awakeners and careful preparation before anyone attempted to explore them.
