After passing by the Sundry Ranch and establishing their friendship and peaceful cooperation with the New Hanover Sheriff's Office, with more openness to travel and exploration, a group of Cehtangi, accompanied by their Swedish, Italian and Apache friends leave Wapiti westward and cross into New Austin for the first time, avoiding Tall Trees, despite the unbearable heat for any mountain tribe used to the cold, snow and ice, especially in the months of the winter season.
New Austin proved to be somewhat worth the long trip across the state, having shown them a brand new world of flora and fauna not possible in the Grizzlies. An interesting yet weird woman kept averting her gaze away from the two Cehtangi men who came shirtless, as it is the custom, especially in the desert heat, speaking words never heard of them before.
Their local guide and friend, Lone Tipi, the Mexican Apache, showed them around and mistakenly may have taught them a few "bad words" in Spanish while doing so, before meeting a group of familiar faces from the Sundry Ranch back in Armadillo of all places. They held some information about a former member of the tribe, that as always, came out on top and avoided capture or harm from even the most dangerous threats lurking in Lannahechee by showing a lack of principle and opportunism bordering on the miraculous.
