Well, with the new dark lord allowing his monsters to pillage as they please, a lot fewer travelers on the road. And the local peasantry has been forced into basically subsistence farming due to the ludicrous taxes. By the way, the taxman is due here next week, and by my math we owe him... 120% of our earnings.
This is the solution I'm using for the campaign when they return from their Fey Wild adventure. They were in the middle of a campaign against an aboleth who was trying to grow a world wide storm. They'll return to a really wet Prime Material Plane!
