After Rao's manfestation
Anavren's shoulders slump at his "allies" unforgiving attitudes, especially in light of the commands of a god. Anavren says quietly to no one in particular, "You all write our death warrants for directly disobeying a god." With that, Anavren walks dejectedly to the inn.

At the gates of Veluna City
As the party members incorrectly identify Canon Hazen as the Canon of Mitrik, Anavren rouses somewhat from his morose ruminations. "Excuse me, I don't mean to ruffle anyone's feathers," Anavren says to the party, then he turns to the guards, "but they mean that we're on a mission from Canon Hazen, the ruler of Veluna who rules from the city of Mitrik. Their misidentification of Canon Hazen shouldn't lead you guardians to believe that they are being deceitful. They tell the truth."

"As additional proof of our veracity, for what it's worth, my 'ally'," Anavren accents the word with a bit of painful disappointment, "Horek, the gentleman that stands there, carries a map given to us by the Canon. Duras here," Anavren indicates the paladin, "is our leader. I'm sure you should address your questions to him."
Anavren is a tall high elf with typical black hair & green eyes. He stands 5' 5" tall & weighs about 135 lbs. Anavren is dressed in forest colors and leather armor. He is never without his composite shortbow and a sheaf of arrows!
