The heroes disembarked at Salt Point. I played it that they are pretty much all Aeolian, even the ordinary freemen. I portrayed the Aeolians as considering themsleves apart from the Hendrekei based on their rejection of Orlanth and Veneration of Aeolus, although they are the same basic racial stock.
Peter:

Yes thats fine. I have the Aeolians being somewhat intrigued but somewhast fearful/cautious of the Lunar empire. This is based on my understanding of the article that apeared in the Heortland special of Tradetalk.

I wanted to have him be related to an Aeolian NPC so that later in the campaign the players can become instrumental in the Baron's shift from the Lunar side to the Sartar side - if they drive the story that way.

I have hinteds that Refuge is free of Lunars due to it being a Brithini controlled port. Sure they have representation there but they don't call the shots. Having said that the players took the salt point landing option!
