Our story of Travion
Ours, offered as ours. Travis is an occupational surname of an unusually specific kind: a traverser was the man stationed where a road crossed a bridge or a boundary, collecting the toll. That is a job with a name of its own in medieval French, which tells you how many of them there were. Trav came off it in American naming and Travion added the -ion ending, and the tollgate is three removes back.

Line the two peaks up, and Glennon's path sketches the road Travion is walking now.
