Those who visit Myth Drannor will notice an increased number of refugees. Human peasants that left their old homes to start anew near the city of Myth Drannor.
They number around forty individual; men, women and children of all ages; all were exhausted upon arrival. Those people carried little more than the essentials for the long journey to the city. Seeming as though they were desperate just to make it to the City of Song.
People that ask around in Myth Drannor, especially of the farmers, may pick up that they fled from Shadowdale ((either talking to the right Player Character involved, or a high diplomacy [to replace lack of Gather Info skill] roll)). Fearing of what the Zhentarim may do to them and their families. They gave up nearly everything they had in life, save for their families, but they were finally safe from Zhentarim's tyranny and soldiers.
