M1: Zanomar's Origins: Update 4.
Underdark
While Zapha-Nav stagnates as their once-glorious Ratville tunnel efforts become more taxing than it ever could be beneficial, Ratville itself booms as trade with the humans above increases its population, food incomes and importance in the Swiech world. A Grand Temple of the Wengi even begins service, attracting countless Quatriut adherants to the town above.
Overworld
Immense growth occurs in the newly born town of Zanomar as trade booms with the Swiech of Ratville. The riders sent west return with a
hired allied army from Tolindanas. Likewise, an army, nay, wandering town of people calling themselves the
Gurks have camped nearby the entrance of Zapha-nav, perhaps aware of the undertown, perhaps not.
Problem: The Toravopes river has become over-fished. Such a growing population requires more food.
Simply building more food stores will not effect this problem.
