	The Empire is not alone in the world; there are nations great and small scattered across the known world. The smaller nations that cluster around Imperial borders in particular make demands of their Imperial neighbours time, and exert an influence that often belies their size. Each season there is a blizzard of letters, reports, and documents that sweeps back and forth around the embassies and the [[Imperial_Consul#Imperial_Consulate\|Imperial consulate]]. Here are discussions with the [[Iron Confederacy]], the [[Thule]], the [[Jotun]] and the [[Grendel]], the orcs of [[the Barrens]], the [[Tsark\|People of the Moon]], and the new ~~Protecorate~~ of Morajasse, all requiring the attention of Imperial citizens.

	Each season the eternal ''[[Barien]]'' presents opportunities to those prepared to [[Challenge the Iron Duke]]. For the Autumn Equinox, he has offered two challenges; a challenge of stealth and speed and a challenge of creativity. As before, the rules of the ritual apply. Each person who receives the ritual will be ''guaranteed'' entry to a challenge. Depending on the challenge, they ''may'' be able to bring a certain number of attendants with them to assist. The exact number will depend on the nature of the challenge and the number of challengers. The [[~~Civil Service\|~~Civil Service]] will publish exact numbers in [[Anvil#The_Hub\|the Hub]] on Saturday morning for all to see.

	More than two years ago, the tradition of the [[sword scholar\|sword scholars]] in [[Urizen]] was sundered. Those who laid claim to the title of sword scholars have prospered in the intervening time. In the wider Empire, people are more sceptical of the [[~~Synod\|~~Synod]] than ever before - it's power has tangibly been diminished by the success of the sword scholars. It's easy to argue that it was only when they set their blades down that the sword scholars achieved victory. Those who refused to lay down their swords apparently retreated back into the mountains. Things may seem quiet, but the Disciples are in hiding, they haven't gone away. They are still teaching the blade to those who seek them out, still preaching their blasphemous creeds to those who take them in. It is often quiet before a storm.

	They were unsure on how best to achieve that however. To what end should they pledge their heart's commitment? The Assemblies raised several statements of principle on the matter, one by '''Aster Aceae''' was rejected and another, the judgement of '''Tren Meals''' [[387YE_Summer_Solstice_Synod_judgements#Judgement_73\|encouraging the Free Folk to support the Lions of Adelmar]], that only just passed.

	Always striving for neutrality, the ''~~bedelaar huisbaas~~'' of the [[Sarcophan Delves]] balance any number of interests in the pursuit of profit and security. They gave up the practice of slavery without regret, refused to pick a side between the [[Liberty Pact]] and the Freedom Accord, but recently took steps to combat the growth in piracy on [[the seven seas]]. The stand they have taken has benefitted the Empire, ending the [[Asavean Archipelago\|Asavean]]-sponsored attacks on ships trading with Imperial ports. Further to these achievements, they look for new opportunities to invest in the Empire for the mutual prosperity of all involved.
