Suzail - Merchants arriving in Suzail from Iriaebor have shared news of folk fleeing the villages of Hluthvar and Corm Orp some two months ago, after Hobgoblin armies surrounded both settlements.
Villagers were allowed to leave with whatever possessions they could carry on foot or on wagons. Those who chose to remain were promised honorable deaths in combat.
The hobgoblins seemed unafraid, or perhaps unaware, of the proximity of Darkhold.
