	There is much talk of how to immortalize this accomplishment so that their achievements can never be forgotten. Dawn could raise a new army as soon as it has the mithril, and most Dawnish people expect their nation to do that, provided it is a new army with a new name. Any suggestion of trying to re-raise the Hounds of Glory is taken badly. People want to celebrate the glorious achievement of every Dawnish person who served in the Hounds of Glory - the last thing anyone wants is to downplay that sacrifice.

	With little time before the summit, no agreement emerges on what should be done to memorialise the Last Hound. The Dawnish look to their assembly to take the lead - this responsibility lies firmly with the troubadours. Statements calling on people to support a new army, especially one named the Hounds of Glory, will receive short shrift. But any clear statement by the Dawnish Assembly that achieves a greater majority for a clear vision of how to create a suitable memorial for the Hounds of Glory will create an [[opportunity]] in light of the widespread backing it is certain to ~~acheive~~. The people of Dawn want their Assembly to take the lead to help everyone ensure the truth of the national motto- "Great deeds are eternal".

	There is opportunity here though, if the Empire can stop the Druj from making it to the Fangs and slaughtering the Rahvin then the leaders of the uprising would be grateful and arrange a meeting at the Summer Solstice. At minimum the General of the Winter Sun would be invited, and given that the Empire does not currently have an [[ambassador]] to the Rahvin the [[Imperial Consul]] would likely be expected to attend. If they don't, the Druj will kill most of the rebellious slaves, and badly damage the mine, but perhaps worse than that they will discourage other orcs from rising against them. The job of the Winter Sun will be that much harder.

	The response from the Dawnish houses and yeofolk in the Barrens is positive and enthusiastic. The Dawnish strike against Serra Grubfest failed to decapitate the vile governor, but it still ignited a fire in the belly of every remaining Dawnish citizen in the Barrens. Although triumph is the ultimate goal, [[glory]] comes as much from attempting dangerous and difficult deeds as from succeeding. The attempt proved the Empire were with them, and served as a call to arms.		The response from the Dawnish houses and yeofolk in the Barrens is positive and enthusiastic.

	Most of the [[Dawn groups\|strong Dawnish houses that manage to maintain a small presence in the Barrens]] already attend Anvil, House Vexille, House Wolfborne, House Cordraco, House Du Froste, House de Carsenere, House Meliora and several members of the Amber Lance. The best way for the Empire to talk to their leaders is in the relative safety of Anvil. However there are many yeofolk who are no longer part of any noble house and at least two houses who maintain some semblance of Dawnish dominion here, who have not attended Anvil in recent years - House Robar in Dawnguard and House Garland in the Carmine Fields.

	The primary goal of the messages and scouts sent to Robar and Garland is to set up a meeting. The hope is to either find a way to smuggle their earls to Anvil, or if that proves impossible, have the prognosticators look for some conjunction of the Sentinel Gate that might make it possible for a contingent to travel to them. From their responses it is clear that both Robar and Garland are eager to meet and keen to discuss plans. They make repeated requests for weapons, armour and mithril that they hope to distribute to their yeofolk and to the other Dawnish groups here. They claim, not unreasonably, that they can raise a credible military force if the Empire can provide them with the resources they need - they're not short of people or the will to fight, what they need is the means to ''win''.
