What if we tried to create a movie script together!

So, Zeratul, are you suggesting making them travel on foot? In principle, you are reasoning correctly, but Albina needed to reach the elven grove as soon as possible; however, he could also be sent there on foot.

Colleague, (I hope I'm not bothering you with this constant "colleague"), according to my plan, the characters will reach the destination separately, and here's why. I assume that each part of the Talisman creates a disturbance in the magical space, which can be used to locate it. Two parts of the Talisman naturally create twice as much disturbance, because they are also attracted to each other, as they are parts of a whole. I believe that each of the messengers should reach the Dragon Mountains, the Circle of Power, on their own, and the mages who have reached it through astral paths will initially perform the merging, and then the destruction of the Talisman.
