Rush Margins was hit quite hard by the Great Drought. They were use to their Unionist Minister, Frexspar, to come by and preach to them to make them stay loyal. The Village was visited by the Time Clock at the beginning of Wicked (The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West). They indulged in the pleasure faith and shunned their Unionist Minister, beating him quite severely, before a wife took him to a cellar for safety. A large pack of them went hunting, under instructions by the Dwarf and the Clock, to find and kill Frexspar and his wife Melena.
