It sounds really awesome! especially the later trade and political ramifications you mentioned. Any ideals on who (if anyone) might start helping the orc's like how the jesuits attempted to help the guarani in Paraguay (of course this was after the jesuits had made the guarani easy targets by grouping them onto settlements.)

It is located in Glantri in the realm of Prince McGregor. I am setting an adventure from an old Dungeon magazine(Spellbook Masquerade) in the village, and it fits almost seamlessly. The villain in the plot even has the Scottish name Kincaid. I am looking for extra bits to flesh out the village. I have been checking the best websites on Glantri, but haven't found anything so far(other than what I could find in GAZ3). On another note, a long time ago I asked if anyone had put caps on a Dagger of Blackflame's ability to absorb and discharge fire. I recently found an old encyclopedia magica book that updated the DoB for 2E AD&D, but in typical fashion, the text was copied word for word without any thought, so there were no caps there as well. I have been using 10d6 as the maximum it can hold and discharge, but is that too much or too little? Any opinions?

Despite the fact that Narvaez have too an stable goverment (suported by the Church of Narvaez), this state would rather expand absorving the local states. Anyway, the Church of Narvaez appears to have some inner conflicts (different ways of conversion, pehaps? One faction might think that they have to persuade their enemies, and another thinks that they must make other peoples accept Ixion by force) and this divergences sometimes are the main cause of new settlements in unsettled lands. This can justify an narvaezan settlement at the southern part of the Western Orclands. By the way, I have some questions about the Yalu Bay: 1- I found two different (and incompatible) descriptions of Colony of The Horn, do anyone know which one is the correct one? Or at leats which one is more close to "the reality"? 2- Porto Maldição appears at The Kwnown World Grimore as being an texeiran colony, and at other sources as an vilaverdan colony. How Porto Maldição became an vilaverdan colony? 3- What lives at "Hives' Land"?
