The next day, some time in the middle of the day, a caravan coming from the Iron Mountains arrived.
This was a fairly large caravan comprised of Alterrans who went to Iron Mountains to trade and sell, as well as the locals who wanted to visit the 'master' territory.
Even after so long, there were still quite a few people who hadn't been to Alterra. The main reason was the limitations imposed to maintain the population of Alterra below the upgrade level, and another was that there was too much happening even in the Iron Mountains!
The growth of Iron Mountains was very fast, and it had re-established itself as an unbeatable powerhouse in the area, much more powerful than Guia Village had ever been.
They also took in a lot of refugees the past month, mostly aborigines from surrounding villages, and a lot of whom were coming to visit Alterra for the first time.
