The road to the Silver River outpost, south of the Broken Lands, was incredibly busy with the most traffic it had seen for years. A large caravan had left early from Griffin Beach as the dawn broke and made its slow, steady journey towards the Outpost.

The small village south of the outpost, once known for the beautiful river and it’s gold and silver, was once again bustling with activity. The river that ran through the centre of the village had been transformed overnight from a deep red murky slurry to flowing, crystal clear and fresh waters teeming with life. Very quickly the first find of gold was made in the river and soon more and more nuggets were being found. A small village that had been brought to the verge of death showed life once more.

As the caravan approached the border of the Broken Lands at the Silver outpost a man dressed in a fine frock coat gracefully stepped out of the leading caravan and spoke briefly to the garrison troops, who gladly waved them on. The caravan then followed the ancient road along the Silver River which lead to the Silver Tooth Ridge outpost.

The outpost stood high above the valleys and ravines of the surrounding area. Looking out to the north across the great plane there was much activity. In the outpost surveyors were carefully checking the ancient structure, and many scouts had been sent out with gifts for the local tribes. High on the outpost walls exquisite looking banners were unfolded showing their symbol of a cup being held by two dragons.

It was from the woods that they came. It seemed like an entire tribe of Orc were approaching the castle, a banner held high; large teeth encased in silver which were glinting in the sun as they came.

From within the crowd of Orcs one stepped forward dressed in flowing silver robes and holding a large wyvern tooth encased in silver.

The outpost gates slowly swung open and the crowd of Orc approached. In response there came from the outpost a single figure, Kurten Dtreal, Earl of the Dragon Isles. He was dressed in the finest frock coat with elegant ruffles on his shirt, followed by the spears of House Dtreal, banners held high. The Earl himself held in his hands the finest staff made from silver, with intricate carvings of the totems of the tribes. The two approached and presented each other with their offerings, both gratefully receiving their gifts, mindful of the thought and meaning behind the exchange.

They then walked side by side into the outpost where a magnificent feast had been set for the new friends, the tribes and soldiers of the outpost. Beside bright, warming fires and in high spirits, all watched the dusk set and night fall over the outpost, the silver in the walls glinting as the flames jumped up to the sky illuminating them.
