Along with the dwarves came Yekaterina, leader of the Dragonborn, and Jona, the female leader of the tieflings. The reason the Dragonborn had come was simple: their lives were still in Solam's hands! If anything happened to Solam, they would be dead too. (A special ability of the Mind Flayers' control collars: when the master died, the slaves were buried with him.)
As for Jona, her reasons were much simpler. She had brought her people purely to repay a debt of gratitude. Thanks to Solam, Emmanuel's tieflings had finally begun living the lives they wanted.

Many suspected he was already dead, except for Trism. According to Trism, a scourge like Korgan Bloodaxe could not possibly die so easily.
The others all looked at Trism strangely. Among them, if anyone hated Korgan Bloodaxe the most, it had to be Trism. Yet now... were relationships between men always this strange?
Then there was Loris. After Solam disappeared, the Cloud Giant girl had gone to Cloud City for help, but never returned. She was probably still searching for a way to save Solam.
