Scouting Report

The rage of the maelstrom has abated, but the outlanders continue to wash ashore. By last count, over 80 ships have made landfall, but still more may be lost in the Stormwall. Moreover, they have proven competent mariners, and many have thus far remained on the open ocean with the intention of rescuing those whose vessels have been lost at sea. Of those who have made landfall, some wear the traditional garb of our ancestors. They bear little resemblance, however, to the soldiers with whom they mingle. Their segmented armor and livery are of origins mysterious to me. By nightfall I have no doubt that hundred, perhaps thousands of their number will have come ashore, with their intentions as yet unknown. I would propose that we call a meeting of all of the desert-dwellers. We must assess the threat posed by the outlanders, and appoint an emissary to engage them on our behalf. Such numbers represent an inevitable shift in the balance of power here in Brimstone, and it would be wise for us to position ourselves to benefit when it does.
