I'll have to keep that in mind. It won't help me right now, cos Gorgon is
starting his visit to heartlands and a meteorite will drop in spiderfell.
Meteorite is actually piece of Mount Deismaar and has some Bloodstones
inside. It will start a huge inrush to Spiderfell as all major regent in
Anuirea try to get those stones to themselves. After dust has setled I
guess some major regents will join ranks to stop PCs rise to power.
