	At the Summer Solstice, the [[Synod]] upheld several [[judgement\|judgements]] relating to the "''[[Two_steps_on_the_water#Strangers_in_a_Strange_Land\|Free Folk]]''". The former Asavean slaves have sought to share their understanding of the Way with the Empire, but have received a mixed reception. As crops all across the Empire have ripened and the days have begun to grow shorter once again, the Free Folk have returned to their diligent work wherever they are welcomed to apply their labour. But they have no stopped speaking about the [[Paragons and exemplars\|paragons or exemplars]] they term the ''Divine Family''. By enthusiastically sharing their stories with anyone who asks, they risk incurring the wrath of the Synod - but that seems to do little to deter them. Indeed, it seems some of them would welcome some kind of definitive response from the Empire, so that they can decide what to do next.

	At the Summer Solstice, the Navarr assembly sent Iniska Ashwood to enact a mandate urging their people to take Pride in what has been achieved so far - that one day the vallorn will be eradicated and that the Navarr must plan for that future. Perhaps that day is closer than it has ever been? Should the Empire be prepared to build up the Great Library of Hacynian, it may even be imminent... And even if it is not, there are opportunities here for Navarr captains to adventure in vallorn-tainted areas, and for the Highborn and Navarr National Assemblies to pool their resources in pursuit of their shared cause.

	The [[eternal\|king and queens]] of the Summer ~~Realm~~ are notoriously fickle with their affections. Quick to anger, their rage is usually mercifully brief but it can be intense and all consuming. At the recent summit, the Empire took steps to change the nature of their relationship with several of them and has reaped a number of rewards as a result, some of which have in turn lead to further [[opportunity\|opportunities]].
