	It is still not clear if a delegation of Great Forest Orcs visited Anvil during the last season. The civil service have attempted to explain to them that there are certain protocols to observe when visiting Anvil as regards formal delegations, but their explanations appear to he largely falling on deaf ears. "If it is not the law, then we may do as we choose," is their response. "Why should we need formal delegates to talk with our friends?" they ask. They continue to pay little attention to suggestions they deal with the [[Imperial Consul]], preferring rather to speak directly to the senators of the Navarr. It is all very frustrating.

	That said... the orcs of the Great Forest have somewhat grudgingly confirmed that they are sending some of their number of Anvil for the Spring Equinox. Again, however, this is not any sort of formal business - they simply intend to speak to the [[Senator\|senators]] for [[Therunin]] and [[Reikos]], and deliver gifts to them in recognition of the bounty of herbs that have been provided to them. The delegation is expected to reach Anvil "at some point on Saturday, probably in the afternoon". There is a small chance that the [[Secretary to the Diplomatic Corps]] may know more.

	The Thule have been asked to withdraw their archaeologists from Hercynia. Arguments have been raised that an agreement with the Navarr gave the Thule unrestricted access to the northernmost Navarr territory, but now the Empire has asked them to leave. Rak is unhappy, but in accordance with the Empire's request all the Thule visitors to Hercynia have been recalled to Otkodov. There are few specific details, but Rak appears to believe that the orcs were given leave to recover items of [[worth]] that have cultural significance to the Thule - and now that permission has been revoked.

	The Dragons are not angry but they are disappointed. The rulers of Otkodov has agreed to allow the Navarr to perform [[The Dance of Navarr and Thorn]] in the eastern territory of [[Otkodov#Sk.C3.BCld\|Sküld]], should they be able to locate a suitable [[regio]] in the territory. Now that agreement looks as if it has been severely ~~imperiled~~; it appears that the Navarr and the Dragon they negotiated with have different recollections of what was agreed during their meeting.

	Rak urges that the Navarr identify some among their number who can negotiate in good faith. This person should then work with the Imperial Ambassador to arrange a meeting with him when he visits Anvil during the Spring Equinox so that they can discuss the situation and find an acceptable solution while there is still time. Rak has specifically mentioned the assistance of the one known as "Merel" who he believes may have been substantially involved in negotiations with the Dragon.

Militia patrols have approached them and been met with the message that they are invited guests on their way to a meeting. Furthermore, they are well aware of the laws regarding the protection of delegations, although they will not speak of their reason for visiting the heart of the Empire. The contingent is led by an old pale skinned orc called Ustigar who is apparently one of the northern Jarls, an along with a light honour guard. Observers have also noted the presence of two orcs of the Hierro clan among their number.
