Changes

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 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]].

When [[Hakan II]] took over the throne from his father, the young inexperienced sovereign saw fit to withdraw the support of Caldeum from the wastes and leave those who live there to their own devices. Now, no caravan is safe, and refugees from the Borderlands beat against the gates of Caldeum in an endless wave of displaced humanity, desperate for the salvation our city once provided.
