Finally some support from back home. The Order has sent some soldiers through to help secure the town. The Queen has even put together an expedition of adventurers to officially support exploration of this realm. Hopefully they won't all turn out as cowardly as my initial companions...
In addition to new people from Ethalia, the local denizens have begun to arrive and settle near Exalos as well. Perhaps this will enable us to have some positive relations now that the Swift Claw have moved on.
Another group of soldiers were supposed to arrive today, but they never did. After an investigation, Captain Bram was discovered alone near a small stick dwelling. He had been driven mad by some sort of curse. A mystic among the Order was able to dispel this curse, but it left the poor Captain's mind broken. We've prepared him for return to Ethalia, but we've still no sign of the troops he brough with him. I can only assume they've encountered a similar fate.
