History by chapter
Book 4
Chapter 1
  • TAG Faction: The Dromedarians' rival settlement atop the Necropolis of Anser, locked with them and the Dirigible Gnomes in a three-way stalemate that could boil into war any day
  • LOCATION Location: Their own walled town across the dunes; not yet reached
Chapter 7
  • TAG Bombed: Per Morris Sp's secondhand account, their own town hall kept a pig NPC as collateral in a chamber bordering the subterranean quadrant; his crawler team killed it by accident, thinking it a mob, and the gnomes bombed the town shortly after. Not confirmed on the page as the actual cause, but it lines up with the timing

  • TAG Ruins Searched: First day, nothing but an abandoned but usable saferoom bar and a caved-in Club Vanquisher entrance

  • TAG Destroyed: Their village, on the side of the necropolis bowl, is lost outright when half the bowl breaks away during the storm and earthquakes; reported secondhand by Firas from the Twister, nobody's fate confirmed
