A supporter of the Heirs of Terunael, already an [[Amity and enmity#Enmity\|enemy of the Empire]] recognised by the [[~~Imperial~~ Conclave]], the powerful eternal appears to be in opposition to against Imperial interests in a number of areas and, perhaps more importantly, seems to want to spread the horror of the vallorn across the entire Empire.

	The investigation has also been a success; as predicted many of the followers of Yaw'nagrah - those most closely tied to the eternal - are lacking in subtlety and relatively easily identified. Most chose to fight rather than surrender to the magistrates when challenged, and only a small number were able to flee before being arrested and in most cases executed. It is possible that a handful have managed to evade exposure, and another handful have managed to escape into barbarian territory bordering the Empire. The majority though, the most dangerous elements, have been decisively dealt with. The eternals' efforts to corrupt the Empire have been stymied, especially in light of the destruction of the Heirs of Terunael and their allies [[Shimmerglisten\|at Hotters' Mire]]. While a few individuals or smaller cabals may pop up from time to time, it will be decades before they are able to present a serious threat to the Empire again, if ever.

	The raid into [[Skallahn]] has been something of a disappointment. There were simply not enough fleets and military units to achieve a meaningful outcome that would impact the Jotun's war efforts. Some loot was gained, but nothing more. However... the raid has provided valuable first-hand insight into the lay-of-the-land, building on what had already been gathered via the Imperial [[spy network]]. The Empire ''could'' try to ~~capitalize~~ on that, if they are ready to mount another attack before the Jotun have had chance to shore up their defences. A second attack mere weeks after the first attack is bound to be the ''last'' think the Jarls of Skallahn will expect!		The raid into [[Skallahn]] has been something of a disappointment.

	The Marcher Assembly could raise a [[statement of principle]] relating to the prosperity of the Mournwold, perhaps with special reference to the opportunities presented by making the town of Sarcombe, and if it received a greater majority it might create opportunities to invest in the Mourn.

	Last summit the [[~~Imperial~~ Senate]] instructed Graciana i Lòpez i Guerra of the Prognosticators Office to carry out an [[appraisal]] to find a way to inspire an uprising in the [[Sarangrave]] using the existing [[Spy network]] in the [[territory]]. The marshes of the south-western [[the Mallum\|Mallum]] are completely dominated by three powerful [[Druj]] clans, and wrapped in the soul-choking [[Druj miasma\|miasma]] familiar to anyone who has fought in [[Zenith]], or during the liberation of [[Ossium]].

	Relations with the [[Faraden]] have been bedevilled with complication and misunderstanding. A mercantile people, they have always been keen on trading with their Imperial neighbours but repeated incidents fuelled by their [[Faraden#Faraden_Religious_Beliefs\|peculiar religion]] have stymied closer ties at every turn. Enough being enough, the [[~~Imperial~~ Senate]] voted during the Spring Equinox to [[abrogate Moonwater Hall]] - the trading hub in [[Upwold]] - and then things started to spiral out of control and before anyone knew it there were fires, accusations, recriminations... and then some kind of coup.

	The [[Sumaah Republic\|Sumaah]] House of the People (their equivalent of the [[~~Imperial~~ Senate]]) plans to strike at the [[Asavean Archipelago\|Asavean]] port city of Chalonsio. This is no random target; Chalonsio is built on the back of the slave trade. Almost every foreign slave brought into Asavea passes through this wretched place and their ambition is to free as many slaves, kill as many slavers, and sink as many slave ships as possible before the Nemorian navy realises what is happening. The Sumaah know they cannot match the Asaveans at sea; their plan hinges on a surprise attack made with overwhelming force to smash the city and then get back to the safety of Sumaah waters - so they have turned to their allies in the Liberty Pact for aid.
