	The fighting is [[Taken at the flood\|not yet done]]. There are still regions of the Barrens controlled by the Druj. Their cruelty never abates and they continue to stab at the Empire any chance they get. There are also large areas of the Barrens controlled by various ''septs'' of orcs, not to mention the Montanians, all of whom remain deeply distrustful of Dawn. There is a huge amount of work to be done here before the struggle is over.		The fighting is [[Taken at the flood\|not yet done]]. There are still regions of the Barrens controlled by the Druj.

	Over the years the Shrine of Hope has been a regular stopping point for questing knights coming to the Barrens. There was a long tradition in which knights who were accompanied by a troubadour would try to ensure that the shrine was kept consecrated to the Virtues. Often it was Ambition or Courage, but Vigilance, Loyalty and even Wisdom were popular choices. Knights would rest here and some would encounter the ghost of Ser Guineve and be inspired by her to continue their quest.

	The practice faltered when the Druj conquered the Barrens, but though they conquered Hope's Rest they never despoiled the Shrine of Hope. Perhaps they never found it, perhaps even their black hearts faltered at the thought. Now they are gone, and the opportunity exists to create a permanent aura at the Shrine. It would once again become a focal point for every questing knight who dared to risk the bleak wilderness that forms the Barrens. A place of hope, a place rest, a place to draw strength before they venture forth to resume their quest. And what better way could there be to lay to Guineve's soul to rest? To mark the legend of the first Dawnish knight ever to quest the Barrens and to show the world that what has been claimed will never be given up.

	Not just Guineve could be given peace here. Although the prognosticators report no threat in the area, it seems that dozens of ghosts are being drawn to the Shrine of Hope from all across the Barrens. It is impossible to know what conjunction of the stars or movement of the heart is drawing them here, but it seems they cannot resist the call of fate. Perhaps the heroes of Anvil will meet them there.		Not just Guineve could be given peace here.

	If this mandate is enacted, the trickle of Dawnish folk coming to the Barrens will quickly dry up. Those who had hoped to return to the lands they lost when they fled the Barrens will think twice about returning. Those who do return will settle in areas of land that Dawn has claimed for decades or more and which are not contested by the other occupants of the Barrens. There will be no benefits to Dawnish army support or to those looking to move to the Barrens, but it will ensure that the current hostilities with the septs who live here do not get any worse. That might give the Empire the time to find the right questions.		If this mandate is enacted, the trickle of Dawnish folk coming to the Barrens will quickly dry up.

	Other than the Druj, there are only scattered pockets of resistance. Guided by the National Assembly, the Dawnish armies deliberately hampered their own strategy, trying to focus their attacks against the Druj and minimise the suffering inflicted on their subjects.

The [[The_silent_page#The_Montanians\|Montanians]] are clear they will never bend the knee to Dawn - but it is equally clear that they can barely muster enough warriors to form a [[military unit]], and an army is completely out of the question - but they still have influence with the orcs who remember the [[Conflict_in_the_Barrens#The_Turn_to_War\|grand rebellion]] against the Druj.

Having the examined the ruins carefully, the civil service confirm that there is an [[opportunity]] to build a single regular commission on the site instead of a fortification. There existing foundations would have to be removed, the white granite could not be repurposed - but this is one of the few areas in the Barrens that it is possible to build on at the moment. Building a commission here could help to expunge the evidence that the Druj once held these lands, or it could provide a sobering reminder of the danger of both the malice of the orcs of the Mallum, and the sacrifices made to overcome them. Indeed, if they wished, the National Assembly could use a [[statement of principle]] to ask for proposals from the glorious architects of Dawn, to create something beautiful yet sombre to stand in place of the Towers.

	If this mandate is enacted, it will focus attention eastwards. Ossium has been liberated and now the Barrens are freed. But the Druj still hold Ulnak, Sanath and the Sarangrave. For the first time in living memory the opportunity exists for the Dawn to lead the Empire to victory over the Druj. ~~They~~ armies are broken, but given time they will rebuild, just as they have always done. This mandate will turn the triumph in the Barrens into [[opportunity\|opportunities]] to ~~make~~ press the advantage to open new fronts against the Druj.
