the Watchwall but fail to overcome the fortification.<br />
1370 Year of the Tankard: Although the Red Wizards withdraw<br />
from the Umber Marshes, the battle is not over.<br />
As autumn falls, undead creatures trapped in the<br />

about aimlessly to this day, hurling themselves upon<br />
the Watchwall.<br />

of the incessant battles with Aglarond, offer a truce.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Simbul accepts with reservations.<br />

between Aglarond and Thay, despite Aglarondan<br />
wariness of the Red Wizards.
