	The Druj have conquered Eastring and East Ashes, and are two fifths of the way toward conquering the Lower Tarn Valley. As a consequence, with Navarr only controlling Peakedge Song, Upper Tarn Valley and Lower Tarn Valley, they have lost control of the territory. The Druj have not, however, taken control of the territory; they only control two of the seven regions. The vallorn controls Sweetglades and Greenheart. The territory is thus considered contested – although the [[Senator]] for Therunin loses their seat in the Senate regardless. It is no longer possible to target Therunin from Anvil using the Imperial regio. The [[~~Imperial_army~~#Maximum_numbers_of_Imperial_Forces\|supply]] of Navarr has not been affected by the loss of Eastring and East Ashes.

	The Druj have laid [[Rivers of Life]] over Therunin. The curse brings healing, but it also brings a burst of vitality and fertility that risks rousing the attention of the vallorn in [[Therunin#Sweetglades\|Sweetglades]] and [[Therunin#Greenheart\|Greenheart]]. Removing the curse requires the casting of [[Rivers Run Red]] – and doing so would be a serious crime as the ritual is [[interdiction\|interdicted]] by the [[~~Imperial~~ Conclave]].

	The Druj have stormed into Therunin and slaughtered all who opposed them. Their savage onslaught has left the Holt of the Oak a charred ruin, and key steadings across the east of the territory similarly burn or are strewn with the corpses of the Navarr who tried to stop the Druj advance. Currently, there is no apparent safe haven among the deep forests and trackless swamps that blanket East Ashes, ~~East Ring~~, and the Lower Tarn Valley. A stream of refugees has begun making their way north, out of the barbarians' path and away from the perhaps greater danger of the vallorn in Greenheart. Those fleeing are making their way to the Barrens and the safety of the Great Forest of Peytaht.		The Druj have stormed into Therunin and slaughtered all who opposed them.

	A conjunction of the Sentinel Gate will allow the heroes of Anvil to reach the forests around ''Tarn Bend''. Here a great loop of the murky river is forcing the Druj through an expanse of near impassable swampland, and into an area that will slow their progress over the days of the Summer Solstice. A chance to intervene can be made on either day as the orcs move through the area.		A conjunction of the Sentinel Gate will allow the heroes of Anvil to reach the forests around ''Tarn Bend''.
