Do you happen to know why she wanted this? (I'd ask myself, but her email address has an out-of-office reply at the moment)

That makes very good sense.

We've said "there are tunnels", but got no further. Do you happen to know more about them? The only ones I know of are natural, a pot-holers dream, and flood when it rains, and even there I have no maps. I just know that area is one where no-one ever goes, in 1620, so this can't be the route you're talking about.

That fits what RR and I are discussing off-list (get back to you with results, we seem to be moving most of the temples around and planning the magical defences).

So the Lunars occupied it? And then Broyan pushed them out?

In our version of events, yes. Bryon was killed in the retaking, but the attack was successful.

Starbrow was based in Boldholme, but decided that the late King's city was a more fitting seat of rule, and also as an act of respect, she ordered it restored to its' former glory.

Though WW had been re-taken, it was unoccupied when we arrived (well, unoccupied by HUMANS at least!!).

The "tunnels" were in the main, underground rivers and so were naturally created, yet large enough for a barge etc.

I'll have to see Billy (who wrote this segment of campaign) and see if he still has the write-ups of ti for you. With a bit of luck, I'll be over in Leeds on Friday...

Oh, and I'm up for painting you an army if you like!
