Naturally, a huge rush of the young, landless nobility and many commoners is flowing into the Northlands. The previously mentioned Stalwarts are a major component of this land rush. In the meantime, the Empire is methodically preparing its plans for a Northern Campaign. The Fortress at Dell's Glade, in the southern end of the Whispering Pass, is being expanded and strengthened. At the northern end of the Pass the Empire is building a new Fortress in the howling wilderness at the northern end of the mountains. The Legions are attempting to re-fortify the Pass at the same time, as the Emperor absolutely does not wish to suffer another invasion from the North. The last time that happened it was called the Nightmare Wars, and no one wishes anything like that to happen again. Dell's Glade has been transformed from a grimly fortified frontier city into a boomtown of epic proportions and anything can happen there! | Naturally, a huge rush of the young, landless nobility and many commoners is flowing into the Northlands.
