Diplomatic action
In 770, in the Republic of Erafel, a group of would be explorers made of elves and dwarves decided to venture north, past the cliff bordered mouth of the Sea Lake Valley and into the Whispering Desert in hopes of finding some indication that the humans still existed. For nearly twenty years they wandered the Endless Dunes with no sign or luck, until in 798 when they finally spotted a group of travellers coming from the north.
