[tab][/tab] The hawks seem to refer to the Lapatos Cross (here under the divine realm). Its a cross erected west of Astraka, just opposite the Towers. It is visible from several vantage points South-west to North of the mountain (not visible from the Gorges or the whole eastern side). The birds do not know the specifics stated in that entry, just that its 'safe' to fly in sight of the cross.
[tab][/tab] One of them even volunteers showing it to you, gently gaining height gliding over the mountain. It will perch on the high point of a hill bellow, probably on the top of a conifer and point it out in the distance. Kissa on the other hand does not like the cross. She feels uncomfortable in its sight (like goosebumps). Its is possible for Nicholas to fly over to the cross and examine it, but Kissa would stay behind.
[tab][/tab] Dimitios nods at the talk about the dangers of the mountains but draws a completely blank face at the mention of 'Forest Lords'...or Lords of any kind. He mentions that there are very few nobles in the area, but clearly that is not what Nicholas is talking about. Is it some kind of legend or tale, folklore that the Falconer has encountered. He seems both intrigued by what he has to say and also a bit apprehensive. Finally he suggest talking about this with the magi. Clearly it is of supernatural nature. He looks at Nicholas as if he is 'touched', wary of him....
