A road building project between Karoon and Sunvale to help promote aid, trading and protection between the two cities begins. They know it will take years to finish, even with magic, but both cities think it's a good idea.
Sea caves are found in North western Taina. Inside is a small band of sea elves and envoys are sent to set up trade and rights to the area. Negotiations will be tricky since few speak the sea elf language and few sea elves speak the common tongue.

A small ruins is found in Areilla about two hundred miles south of the monastery. At least it is small above ground. Below ground is a labyrinth of tunnels and what amounts to a good size city that was abandoned sometime in the far past. No one has explored it fully, for something lurks in its depths.

Year 164 AC
The year of the gathering has arrived. This year it is so big it spills out of the city onto the plain to the east. Literally hundreds of acres are covered with tents and small camps. So big is the gathering that small trading areas spring up all around the camping areas, so people don't have to go far. Mages and druids are used to bring in enough water for everyone, and everburning rocks are in hot demand for cooking since there is little wood to go around.
