Last Year's Events: Hrissopoli
allowed a whole tribe of lizard men, the Hasstor Tribe, to settle in the
western part of the kingdom. It is
possible that more refugees come, as reports from the Amalur Lowlands speak of
a growing threat in the west that caused such migrations-until maybe the day
the threat knocks at the door of the Milenian city-state itself.
