<< The adventure takes place in 1360 - the resources available to intrepid explorers date (at best) to the Dragonkill. So if they go looking for "the city of Orin Jistil" all they'll find is the Upland Marsh, already teeming with undead. >>
This seems an excellent idea, but (and this is just a personal quibble) it seems to me that 1360 is a bit too late for Dragon Pass to be viewed as an uninhabited wilderness, even by a civilised Lunar. Arim is established enough to be able to defeat a Lunar army two years from now (in 1362), and Mitchuinn Moonhater is also established, for example. Arim has been established for 30 years and Sacred King for 12years. I would agree that there are large areas that are haunted ruins, returned to nature, full of tusk riders, dragonewts, spirits, undead, trolls, beastmen, aldryami, grazers, primitive subhumans, but there are also bits with Heortlings and Alakorings, assorted Pelorian refugees and other semi-civilised types.
1335 ST Dagori Inkarth declares war against the Lunar Empire and place
themselves at the service of Tarsh [UL].
1348 Arim completes the wooing of Ernalda and marries the incarnation of
Sorana Tor, becoming King of Dragon Pass.
Mitchuinn Moonhater leads ragged warband across Deathline. The Breagolos try
to extort tribute from them but Mitchuinn kills their chief, Breagol the
Greedy, and absorbs the clan,
1357ST Taros Ridgewalker leads the Far Walkers across Dwarf run to resettle
the ruins of Alda Chur.
1360ST Mitchuinn raid down Daughters Road.
1362 ST King Arim the Pauper of Tarsh crushes a Lunar army, which was
searching for a grove of trees in Holay, with the aid of his twin children, the
Balazarings and some Aldryami Friends at the Battle of Falling Hills [LWC].
