Rumors of a treasure horde found in a large cave complex in the southern reaches of the Tsalagi Mountains circulate through out Taina. They speak of great rooms of gold and jewels, art and tapestries. Some say it's from a lost civilization, others say it may be a dragon's nest. Expeditions head for the supposed location and maps abound. People who say they know the way offer their services to those who would brave the depths, for a small portion of the treasure, of course.

Year 52 AC
This year is an especially harsh winter. The winter brings lots of snow, even to the lower elevations, and spring comes late. The growing season ends up being very small and many places don't yield even half of their normal food levels. Villages horde what little food they have and drive off strangers. Trade is very limited. Many in the city die from lack of food, the villages doing better since they can also hunt, fish and forage to supplement.
