	People that cannot join the nation the territory is assigned to will face a difficult choice. Some will chose to emigrate - leaving for other lands. The Druj may well flee East - taking sanctuary with their kin. Of course they may not - as the experience with the Jotun thralls in the Mournwold shows. In theory they might emigrate elsewhere in the Empire. If Ossium is assigned to another nation, the Varushkan Assembly might pass a statement of principle inviting the Ketsov to move to a named territory in Varushka where they might feel more welcome.

	Some groups may choose to remain in the territory. They could become foreigners, like the Jotun Thralls. There is no intrinsic reason why foreigners cannot prosper in the Empire, just like the Thule have done in the Silver Peaks. Historically small groups of foreigners have not prospered in the Empire, they have tended to dwindle and either been assimilated or eventually moved elsewhere, a consequence of the power of the egregore magic perhaps. But with the Ossium that could take years and would be a slow process unless the [[~~Imperial~~ Synod]] took the lead to change sentiments on the ground.

	The final options is that they could remain a difficult and dangerous barbarian population, like the Druj and their subjects that the Dawnish have fought over the Barrens with for centuries. In that case it might be wise to try and drive them out using Imperial armies - for the safety of everyone else.

	The Empire has successful completed the conquest of Ossium, the first successful conquest of a new territory in decades.

	Ossium is surprisingly similar to parts of the Marches, [[Bregasland]] specifically. A number of Bregasland citizens might well be keen to settle here as a result; some would see its distance from the nosy folk of [[Upwold]] and [[Mitwold]] as an advantage. The Marchers who live in Mournwold are also the only Imperial humans with a positive experience of living alongside orc neighbours that they cooperate with. That might prove useful if the ~~Sane~~ Fishers choose to remain in significant numbers. Perhaps they might even be persuaded to join the Mournwold Thralls maybe?

	Away from the Semmerlak, the barren ground would prove a challenge to anyone attempting to farm it. But the Marchers love a challenge almost as much as they love land. If anyone can make these plains fertile it is them. The Marches would be second only to Dawn in their ability to make Ossium capable of supporting additional Imperial armies. It would seem difficult to link the territory to the Bread Basket, but perhaps another smaller structure might be built here for the people of Ossium if the Marchers settled it.

Ossium also has an important coastline on the Semmerlak, an ancient lake often linked to the Summer realm that plays an important role in Dawnish life.

They would be prepared to settle the territory in numbers once the Sand Fishers dispersed. Some of the people displaced from Sermersuaq when that territory was conquered by the Jotun might also be keen to move here, as might some of those who left Skarsind when it was given over to the Imperial Orcs. The Ketsov appear very different to the Wintermarkers on the face of it, but their skill as artisans belies that. Some of the finest artisans in the Empire are from Wintermark, the land that discovered the runes might have much to offer the Ketsov and some would adapt to life and become Steinr and Suaq in time (they Ketsov appear to consider living in a marsh to be the worst fate imaginable).

The border with the Thule would be a challenge - the northern orcs have never enjoyed good relations with the people of the Mark. On the other hand that might prove a benefit if the Empire is keen for the nation that lays claim to Ossium to ensure that the Thule are kept in their place.

While it has never held a vallorn - the forests do appear to adjoin ~~Skuld~~ in the north and that territory ''does'' contain a vallorn. As a result any trods here are likely to be important.

	Ossium is nothing like the Brass Coast. The people are nothing like the Freeborn, the land is completely different. There is at least some coast, if you count the Semmerlak, and there is a river that runs down to the sea, albeit the route is extraordinarily dangerous running as it does through Druj lands. It would be expensive and dangerous but not impossible to make Ossium part of the Brass Coast. Parts of the marsh could be drained, great jettys and docks could be built over the Semmerlak.

That approach was technically successful if not exactly triumphant, but some Freeborn citizens claim they have learned from those mistakes. Crucially what the Sand Fishers lack more than anything else is a joie de vivre, they are an utterly morose people who seemed to have simply given in to despair.

	It is easy for human citizens to think that the presence of the Sand Fishers and similar Druj ~~subject tribes~~ creates a compelling argument for the assignment of Ossium to the Imperial Orcs. In practice the Empire has never conquered a territory that didn't have a significant orc population at the time it was settled. The presence of the Sand Fishers does not prevent Ossium being allocated to a human nation. Moreover, a number of civil servants have noted that the Sand Fishers are about as different from the Imperial Orcs as it is possible to be. Brutalized by centuries of Druj tyranny, they are thoroughly cowed and subjugated. To be fair, there's nothing about the Sand Fishers that resonates with ''any'' Imperial nation.
