Movement through the woods

[Dimitri]

There seems to be movement of late, troops and construction effort both of soldiers with dark colored armor. Men and women of various cultures together under one banner, their hips adorned with cold iron daggers and pin demoting rank proudly on their cloaks the marching continues. They use wagons and caravan their way into the mountains away from the Last Flagon, stocking up on meals and supplies for the journey ahead.
... the Thunder Gap stirs with activity.

[Dimitri]

A Gold Dragon can be seen flying over Thunder Peaks, sometimes swooping down to clash against giants or bandits. Occasionally there is a rider on the back of the Dragon, and the patrol seems to happen at different times each day to prevent the bandits or giants from learning a pattern.
