While the plight of the Hagolings was not unusual, it's a big leap to suggest that all the survivors of the Great Darkness outside the core areas were similarly wretched.

Take for the example, the Lendarshi in what is now Northwestern Peloria. At the dawn, they had three settlements, five herds, a tribe of hunters and a tribe of slavers. Their wealth is vast compared to the Hagolings yet they are barely noticeable in the history of the period.
