- the Year of the Bat. In this year, a terrible crimson bat
from dread Yran flew in from over the oceans. It smote so many
cities of Golden Kareeshtu and devoured so many people such that
even if all the cities in the world were to wax and multiply
between now and Jotimam's return, they would not even number a
tenth of what the bat swallowed. This blight in Ompalam's sight
then crossed over the Marintho into the forests of Laskal, seemingly
to the call of the Bat People's drums. It dwells there still
and what mischief the Bat People intend, I know not, but the
wretches of Goan have sunk to begging the Wolf Pirates for aid...
