[QUOTE="ExploderWizard, post: 6629309, member: 66434"] In my own campaign, set in 1025 AC, the Thyatians are the evil empire. They want to completely own Karameikos and the current ruler does not agree with his predecessor's decision to let it be an independent Duchy. The Thyatians have also been involved in an ongoing war with Alphatia and cannot spare the resources to move in and take all of Karameikos by force. In other developments, the Isle of Dread, which was explored by adventurers over 20 years ago, has considerable mineral deposits; silver, gold, and gemstones. The Thyatians have sent ships and set up mining camps to extract these resources. Due to a lack of manpower, the Tyatians have been using Traladaran slaves from Karameikos to work the sites. The Iron Ring is wholly owned and operated by the Thyatian empire. They have their hands in everything and launch various schemes for kidnapping Traladarans and shipping them off to the mines. The rumors in Threshold of zombie workers at the logging camp is true. The Iron Ring is diverting prisoners sentenced to work at the camp off to the mines and replacing them with zombies. I have expanded the dungeons beneath the castle from module B9 and turned it into an Iron Ring slave way station and clearing house.
