Pontios 1st stop would be in a mountain fortress of Beþenk-dum, where he would take minimal amounts of food, to survive. The fortress seemed to be uninhabited and abandoned but Pontios left a mark there and went west for a better chance of finding others. Pontios 2nd stop would be at a destroyed dark oak mansion out in the wild plains. The mansion granted protection for the extreme weather and provided alot of wheat to make bread and stock up on food. With no life nearby, Pontios decided to walk even more west, in the hope for something.

After this he decided to go westwards once more. After a lot of walking Pontios ended up at the Northern border area of Theios-Essukdal, where he began to see the endless desert in front for him. Pontios being exhausted after a lot of walking, seeked safety inside a little cave that is now know as the Pontinne Cave. Here he would take time to think about this so far, and prepare for any mental challenges in the futures. It was here the Pontios decided to walk south in the hopes of something being alive.
