400 years ago, precious ores were found in the [[Stinging Winds]], and the Caldeum [[Dune Guard]] military outpost of [[Lut Bahadur]] got company in the wastelands by the newly built town of Alcarnus and many smaller settlements. The discovery of the [[Dahlgur]] oasis and a third town in the Borderlands made the area full of life and trade.
