The Pilgrimage of Faiths reaches Elvenhome. Though the ancient elves will not tolerate any homage to the dark gods, they do allow small shrines to be set up at the base of their mountain home by the priests of the gods of light and neutrality. Some of the caravan remained in Landshire, but some were gathered up there as well. The wagon train is huge so bandits are an issue.

More workers and mercenaries, along with merchants, are called for.
The skeleton of a dragon is unearthed in northeastern Taina and scholars, mages, and treasure hunters converge. There are scuffles and problems, so guards are called for to not only protect the area from problems between people, but from the native wild life and ogres.
