Your comments about there being no sense of a greater world put into words a vibe I felt. There continues to be very little sense of place to anything. It doesn't feel like anywhere is really anywhere. Apparently there's a large(?) chunk of region on the road to the city that's blighted by a pretty terrible curse and has been for a long time, yet until we hear of it from Halsin it never comes up. The city is 10 days away from the Grove supposedly, so the shadowlands must be closer still than that. The tieflings should mention that as a wrinkle in their travel plans. Or it should come up when we arrive at the city. But for whatever reason, it doesn't. It feels like the only places that exist really are the places we happen to be in at the time, with maybe some mentions from Gale and Lae'zel about where they're from.
