* [[Gorom]] shows up, too, with some thuggish types in tow. He immediately gets the bad blood up with [[Beldon]], who despite all his bravado seems unable to be more intimidating than a puffy rooster in front of his long-time bully. Some words are exchanged, Bobwhite turns his helmet around with an invisible Mage Hand, and an angry Gorom makes off with a keg of finest liquor. In the commotion, Bobwhite manages to also nick his purse, so the party figures it ended out in a draw.

It was not long after the newly raised gods retreated behind their veil that their brood took to mischief and the wars against the darkness were replaced with the wars of the green. The men established their cities, the gildenfolk dug their burrows, and our people rode free and unchallenged across the plains of the midlands under the reign of the Wolfen-Khans, who ruled from their fortress where the grass ended and the mountains began. A fortress of stone and iron at the far end of our great, green sea.
