Visitors!
Now, it's not like the Caern of Forgotten Questions is so well-hidden that it never gets visitors. Quite the opposite. It gets visitors all the time. But so many, all at once, and so interesting: that's a rarer occurrence.
There are a lot of people watching the newcomers. Most are curious, or otherwise unoccupied. Some are gregarious and hoping to make a friend. Somewhat fewer are suspicious, or at least wary. And at least one --
one Erich, to be precise
-- is atop a friendly rock formation in wolf-shape, sitting on his haunches, big and shaggy and tongue-lolling and bright-eyed and very, very, very curious. His tail moves a little now and then, cautious little wags. He scents the air. He scents the air a lot. And eventually, totally shameless about gossiping very loudly about their new guests, he puts tilts his muzzle up and folds his ears back and howls:
HEY, EVERYONE. A BUNCH OF FIANNA AND STUFF JUST SHOWED UP AT THE CAERN.

BECAUSE OF LIGHT AND DUTY AND REASONS.
