Last Year's Events: Eadrin was attacked by Arogansa; however, Arogansan wizards
effectively ended the war by flooding the lowlands of Eadrin and, to some
extent, Arogansa. This artificial
"lake"-the flooded land is more swamp than lake-was ceded to Arogansa. Relations between Eadrin and the new Queen
of Randel cooled since the old ally did not help in the war.
