	The Druj have long had a clear interest in Brocéliande, and for a time it was also home to some [[Great Forest Orcs]] seeking to avoid conflict with [[the Mallum]] and the soldiers of [[Dawn]]. From time to time the Empire purges the forest of Druj infiltrators, but the wild woods are dark and deep and invariably they creep back in again while Imperial attention is elsewhere. It remains to be seen if the liberation of [[the Barrens]] will change this situation in the long term. More worryingly for many Navarr is the suggestion that those Druj active in Brocéliande are supported by the wicked [[Archmage_of_Spring#The_Eternals_of_Spring\|Spring eternal]] [[Yaw'nagrah]] who is known to favour unleashing the vallorn.

	In the Autumn of 384YE, the Summer eternal [[Rhianos]] offered the use of a unique magical artifact to help the Empire [[The city asleep\|delve deeper]] into the vallorn-infested depths of Brocéliande than ever before. Among other things, this lead to [[[[One_last_song\|unparalleled understanding]] of the wild forest, and the cultivation of [[chaos fruit]] in several forests around the Empire. The resulting exploration saw Imperial adventurers penetrate the ruins of Terunael itself, although what they found there is not common knowledge.

	The rise of the Heirs of Terunael left the Broch vulnerable to attack and without the efforts of the Empire, and the emissaries of [[Tharim]], it might well have fallen to the vallorn's malice. As it is, the steading was seriously damaged and left isolated in the depths of the vallorn. The Navarr who lived there reached out to the Imperial Senate for support. Shortly before the Summer Solstice 384YE work was completed on [[Construct Defence of the Broch\|heavily fortifying]] the Broch, leaving it a place of relative safety in the vallorn infested territory.
