When we pick up, about 5,000 people have arrived to accept the offer. Many more are expected. Grimhold is booming, as new structures need to be built since it is going to be the base of operations of Gneon and the expeditions.
Marston, until the expeditions begin, has as much work begin a sheriff as he is willing to take.
Harrick, while confused at points, has an increased work load due to the lack of clerics of Falan.
Sly's store is busier, as the population has increased significantly, and many of them are adventuring types.
Gnevil is similarly busy because of the increase in population and because his partner is not home.
