And since that's the period I'm asking about, fine. People arriving then, people already there by then. Tatius has just arrived and taken over command, Pharon has just become active. There are supplies coming in, with gradually increasing Lunar interference. Where from?

Well, yes...

Everything?

Plays into, yes, but how much direct effect will it have? A lot of the questions like "where do the supplies come from" and "what clans are there?" never got decided anyway AFAIK, hence my questions.

Unless you can manufacture splendorbread and widebrew for 4000 people, yes. By the time we're down to the last few dozen, in those last few weeks, I'll believe it, but not in early 1620!

And we need to know more about them. They're more likely to have been there in the early days, I would imagine. Before people started sending out messengers with Arrows, and so on.

And there was raiding between Volsaxi and Sartar in the 1613-1619 "gap" - mind you, no doubt Sartarite clans were raiding each other, and Volsaxi clans were raiding each other, so this doesn't mean a lot.

I think we'd been assuming this?
