Goldgleam and starving, some Rayncliff flee boats, return to camps

The scene, yesterday

Scores of Frogsnake's minority Rayncliff Sun God followers are paying off people smugglers and returning to the squalid camps they used to live in after being held for months on overcrowded ships that were to take them to the Caves of Teng but did not move far from shore. A crackdown on the people-smuggling network in the Caves of Teng, usually the first stop en route to Dustsilver, has meant that at least three ships loaded with hundreds of Rayncliff and impoverished Jadedusts were staying off the coast of Frogsnake, they said. Thousands more are adrift on overcrowded boats in the Rootcrystal Vinetalon off ettin, Dustsilvern or tengu shores, while others are closer to home, off Frogsnake or Coppergold.
