As the [[Rivers Run Red\|corrupting rot]] of [[Spring magic]] creeps and pools across a territory already [[Ashes#Objective:_Prevent_the_use_of_the_Sephals_Cauldron\|scarred]] by the malice of the [[Druj_lore#Buruk_Tepel\|Buruk Tepel]], Navarr armies and their Varushkan and Dawnish allies make a desperate strike. The stakes could not be higher; the orcs of the Mallum are without virtue or conscience and have already shown they are prepared to unleash the vallorn against the Empire.

	Of course, all this is the present, the moment between breathing in and breathing out. Where the Imperial Military Council has put their strategies into effect, so their enemies have made their own decisions. Neither side knows with any certainty what the other is planning. Will the Druj stay in Therunin and fight or will they withdraw and strike like the assassins' blade elsewhere? Do the Children of Wrecks really threaten Redoubt; how reliable is rumour? Will the Jotun stand and fight in Mournwold or sweep away into Bregasland where their [[Only_forward#Object:_Halt_the_Burhfæst!\|enchanted castle]] rises over Gravenrock, and only the Strong Reeds stand against them? Or perhaps rampage east toward the rich city of [[Tassato]], and the three armies recuperating there? Where else might the flames of war kindle, unlooked for, in the months to come?
