	With a ceasefire in place, and following several months of support from [[Conclave order\|Conclave orders]], the House of Princes [[If_we_never_meet_again#Aid_Against_Oblivion\|extends an offer]] to the Empire's mercenaries. Given that some of them no doubt have experience fighting [[Cold Sun]], their experiences would prove valuable to the Principalities in their efforts to deal with the incursion of the ''scions''.

Given that some of them no doubt have experience fighting [[Cold Sun]], their experiences would prove valuable to the Principalities in their efforts to deal with the incursion of the ''scions''.

	Following the Autumn Equinox, any [[military unit]] commander can commit to support the ''Jarm against Oblivion'' [[Military_unit#Campaigning\|campaigning]] [[venture]]. This venture involves travelling to the Principalities of Jarm and fighting the ''scions'' of Cold Sun alongside Jarmish soldiers in a concerted effort to destroy the supernatural armies. A standard military unit that takes this venture will be well compensated - the Jarmish will pay four crystal mana and a [[Vis#Golden Apple\|golden apple]]. Warbands that are [[military unit#Upgrades\|upgraded]] or [[enchantment\|enchanted]] will receive commensurately more reward. They are particularly keen to employ professionals from [[the League]], and warrior-wizards from [[Dawn]] and [[Urizen]]. A military unit belonging to one of these three nations receives a one-rank bonus to its effective rank if it takes this venture.

	If at least 10,000 effective strength of military units is sent to Jarm this season, it will secure additional success for the armies fighting there. It won't end the war with Cold Sun outright, but it will help the Jarmish achieve a strategic win against the incursion into their lands.
