The Lord of the Rings - OOC

This session is where things became complicated enough we realized we needed to create an official timeline to better 'sync' everything the various primary characters are doing. Especially since many of the characters' actions were indirectly affecting each other.

The DM told us that after the battle of New Breland the army and the survivors of the city fled towards each other to find out both had been devastated. Both groups were then pushed to Lake Brey by the goblins in Starilaskur and the Droammish army on the west. The Brelish did the best they could trying to cross Lake Brey by building and stealing every boat they could and some were desperate enough to try to swim. It took two weeks for them to arrive at Lake Brey and cross it. By the time the survivors reached the only side of Lake Brey there were only 1100 of them remaining.

He also told us that when this news reached the cardinals at Flamekeep they quickly decided to surrender the entire nation of Thrane, except for Flamekeep, to Aundair in exchange for an end to all hostilities and Aundairs complete support in helping the Church of the Silver Flame eliminate Zergiot. Aundair considered the offer for a few days and then agreed.

The Triumvirate in Zilargo, thinking Zergiot had broken the treaty by sending Dave, gave orders for an immediate invasion of Darguun. As soon as the order was signed the Triumvirate was struck dead by the power of the contract. The Trust realized that Zergiot must not have actually broken the contract and so would think it was still in effect. The Trust hid the death of the Triumvirate from everyone and assumed control of Zilargo by pretending to be following the orders of the Triumvirate. They began by sending out the orders that had killed the Triumvirate to prepare their army to attack Darguun.

Zilargo was still getting it's army ready when New Breland was destroyed. Realizing that they were surrounded on all sides by an apparent Darguun - Droamm alliance, cut off from all possible alllies, The Trust realized this was a war they couldn't win. They then gave orders for the immediate evacuation of the entire nation of Zilargo to Xen'drick to build a new gnome nation there which is why the border became so quiet.
