	Shortly before the Spring Equinox two heralds of the Winter realm appear at the Imperial Regio. They speak on behalf of Surut of the Thrice Cursed Court and have come to provide information to the civil service relating to the Imperial campaign in West Ranging, Liathaven. The heralds, clad in forge-black Marcher harness and burned gambeson, describe at length Surut's wish that the Navarr continue to lead his fires against the ~~Vallorn~~. Two Spring Regio remain in the region, lone islands of verdant foliage to which the horrors of Yaw'nagrah, Jotun husks and twisted fauna of the deep woods have retreated. Surut desires these founts of fecundity to be put to his burning flame, and requests that the Navarr, along with their Marcher allies sally forth as emissaries for his consuming flames.

	Two conjunctions have been detected by the civil service, allowing access to '''Silent Stand''' and '''Far Steading''', and the locations of the two Spring Regio. The prognosticators note that both of these locations are sites of engagements over the past several years between the Empire and the Jotun. Surut's heralds request that the Navarr general of the Quiet Step - currently Brennos Brackensong - travel to both of these locations to act a focus for the power of Winter's Flame, allowing Surut to destroy these regio and wither the forest around them.

	Forces close to these regio report that despite the devastation already wrought in the area, a ~~Vallorn~~ miasma still hangs in the air. Entering the miasma will cause the blood to become venomed and feel like a burning fire. It is also likely that those who remain in the miasma too long will become infected with Green Lung. Scouts have sent reports of husks, both human and orc in origin, twisted chitin clad humanoids, giant mutated insects and striding masses of bark and vegetation here.

	It is understood that engaging the ~~Vallorn~~ in these areas, along with the destruction of the regio by Surut's boon, should be sufficient to reduce the strength of the ~~Vallorn~~ remaining in the region. If both opportunities are successful then Imperial forces will be able to control the entire West Ranging region, secure a beachhead in Liathaven, and allow them to push into Westwood without worry of their supply lines being at risk from attack.

They are no longer proud infantry from the dark lands of Varushka, stoic against the darkness of their homelands; they have come to embodied the darkness of their distant land and the creatures that dwell there.

	At the Winter ~~Equinox~~ there were two opportunities for Imperial Heroes to travel through the Sentinel Gate to attempt to strike at raiding Feni warbands - one in Wood Heath, Hahnmark, and one in Birchland, Upwold. Unfortunately, it seems that those attempts both ended in failure, as more reports of Feni raids have continued to emerge.		At the Winter Solstice there were two opportunities for Imperial Heroes to travel through the Sentinel Gate to attempt to strike at raiding Feni warbands - one in Wood Heath, Hahnmark, and one in Birchland, Upwold. Unfortunately, it seems that those attempts both ended in failure, as more reports of Feni raids have continued to emerge.

	As of the Spring Equinox, however, more recent reports indicate what appears to be a change of behaviour for the Feni. Firstly, the attacks in Hahnmark began to cross over into the hills of Southridge around a month after the Winter ~~Equinox~~, but have since abated significantly. Whether this is due to that warband meeting a sticky end at the hands of Winterfolk warriors, or whether something more nefarious is afoot, is currently unclear.

	By contrast, the Feni warband that was active in Birchland has only become more active. Reports seem to indicate that it has swelled in size, and now represents the equivalent of two or three military units - and not only that, but the raids the Feni are making appear to be more and more widespread. Homesteads, monasteries and market towns in Ashbrook and Tower March have been targeted, and the latest reports - from up to three weeks before the Solstice - indicate attacks have crossed the border into the Mournwold, where the thralls appear to receive just as much trouble as Marcher citizens - perhaps more, as they are by nature indisposed to fighting, and several of their farms in Freemoor have been thoroughly sacked.

	Imperial war scouts have been tracking bands of Jotun pathfinders across the vast reaches of Sermersuaq since their armies crossed the border into Stark. Several war parties of the western barbarians's elite Raðljóst warriors were spotted in the vicinity of the Pride of Ikka's Tears, the recently constructed mithril mine at the foot of the great glacier. It is evident that these orcs have now discovered the existence of the Imperial Bourse workings and are returning back to their Jarls to inform them of this new finding. Prognosticators suggest that the mithril bounty might influence the Jotun's wider strategic interests in the future, diverting their invasion north to claim Suaq Wastes and Suaq Fount, away from the more populated region of Sealtoq next to neighbouring ~~Kalavesa~~.

	The Jotun have split into two separate groups, each taking different routes back towards the armies in Stark and Tanikipari, evidently in an attempt to provide redundancy should one band be intercepted. The first group has reached '''West Bay''' on the shores of Sarda; whilst the second group has chosen an easterly path round that lake and are currently passing through '''Bitter Tundra''', an expanse once given over to the collection of bladeroot that grew abundantly in the area.

	The prognosticators have noted that there will be a conjunction on the Saturday afternoon of the coming summit to the area around the ~~dolmen~~ known as '''Connor's Rock''', in the Chalkdowns, Mournwold. It is clear this conjunction is something to do with the Feni - a troubling omen, as it indicates that their attacks are pushing westwards into the Chalkdowns. However, this opportunity to strike back at the Feni would at least hamper their raiding activity, likely reducing or entirely preventing any impact on farms and other resources in the Mourn. If the Feni are not stopped them all farms and businesses in the Mournwold will lose 36 rings and all herb gardens will lose 2 random herbs in the coming season.
