By then, the earliest arrivals among these people had been in the Hinterlands for over two months, while the latest had arrived less than ten days ago. Yet judging by how busy they were, they did not seem particularly opposed to having been forcibly relocated to the Hinterlands.
Of course, that was only how things looked. Yu Lin Bloodhawk still needed to investigate thoroughly to learn what the situation was really like, and he certainly could not do that by asking these newly relocated High Elves.
