No problem. We deliberately didn't include a lot of stuff about
Broyan since it will be in the Grand Argrath Campaign. But when we
playtested some of this on my poor players, they were absolutely
shocked when half the party (all the players that were companions of
King Broyan) got wiped out by darkness demons. The Hero Wars in
Dragon Pass will have a lot of this sort of stuff - it isn't just the
Lunars against the Orlanthi.
