Master Miner Horeld of Bansen is 53 and has spent most of his life in the mining business in dangerous frontier regions. He is on very good terms with the lord of Shenadun. The recent sightings of Gargun tracks in the area have worried the guildmaster, because the mines are vulnerable to Gargun raiders, even though the main camp seems secure. He has petitioned the guild to finance some more guards and a scout or two, but his request has not been fulfilled yet. Sir Lardis has promised to start his own investigation on Gargun activities in the region and to wipe out any permanent Gargun settlements that might exist.
