Changes

The Borderlands were originally devoid of any but the most hardened (some would say crazed) prospectors until the great military city of [[Lut Bahadur]] (literally, "city of the gate") was built to keep the [[lacuniLacuni]] (cat people) in their cliff dwellings safely away from [[Caldeum]].

Lut Bahadur's solitary watch over the desolate wastes came to an end four hundred years ago when precious ore was discovered in the region known as the [[Stinging Winds]]. The town of [[Alcarnus]] was quickly established as the center centre of all mining in the area, with several other smaller settlements springing up in its wake. When the [[Dahlgur]] oasis was discovered and a third town was erected there, Caldeum's dominance over the Borderlands was complete. The Borderlands could reliably depend on fresh supplies of food and water from Dahlgur's caravans, protected by the might of Caldeum's [[Dune Guard]].
