I started in a small crypt. There wasn't much there, so I just left and wandered through the forest for a while until I came across a mountain where the enormous corpse of a giant lay.

I read through the game's manual, and it said that the corpse belonged to a god named Gurvek the Great. I spent a little while there taking in the scenery before turning my attention back to the capital.

Getting there was pretty stressful. There were enemies lurking everywhere. I defeated a few of them, but I ended up rushing through the area.
