"Yus da boss, we will mine real good then give ya your piece of the cut."
The season is very windy and people can't even put clothing to dry because it would either freeze or be blown away by the strong winds.
One particularly windy night, something heavy crashes agains the mountainside. Your night guards go check whatahell was that and find a smoldering crash with a gnome within. Upon being rescued he politely says he is Lord Dzameron and was just testing his flying machine.
"Hahaha, I made it! I crossed the ocean! I shame I couldn't travel all around the world..."
We give him keep for the night and in the following morning he goes on to examine it.
"It's broken! Barely anything can be recovered. I would need a finery forge and some extra metal to reforge the whole thing. You guys do have a mining operation going on in the mountains, right?"
"We are afraid not, Lord Dzameron."
"Whew, I wouldn't survive a trip on foot back home. The monsters I passed by... I'm glad at least I reached some manner of civilization."
"I'm afraid we have a shortage of the bare essentials of life. We can't really afford a mining operation, although we do have some miners who arrived recently. Sadly we are also facing a zombie outbreak in this region. Entire settlements were wiped out."
"I see. Well, without fine machinery, I won't be flying anytime soon. I'm an inventor and I am sure I could improve your way of life, provided you dedicate the right amount of resources to it. If you allow me to stay I will work for you until I can rebuild my craft and take off back to my homeland beyond the seas."

More elves come from the capital. An alchemist called Dingus become keenly interested in the Ghoulbane potion and asks for permission to establish a permanent mission to gather the herb in the swamp, produce the antidote and send traders to sell it all over the world.
