	One element Baroness Katerine seizes on is a mention of smoothing travel for merchants from the Iron Confederacy into the larger Empire. The magical transformation of south-western Madruga, coupled with the wildness of the Scorrero, impedes Suranni caravans wishing to venture into Imperial heartlands. Securing more prosperous trade would certainly be a worthwhile topic for discussion - perhaps the Dukes might even be persuaded to offer assistance to any project to bridge the Scorrero in Oranseri. They have large reserves of [[white granite]] and [[mithril]] after all.

	As she said last season, while there was some discussion at Anvil during the Autumn Equinox, after careful consideration the Dukes chose instead to take decisive action against the Children of Wrecks. The time to formalise a treaty will come when the Children of Wrecks are no more. With that in mind, Baroness Katerine reminds her opposite number in the Empire that the Wings of Kobol will be moving north into Free Landing after the Spring Equinox. When they are victorious, the islands will be free of the taint of Dumon, but as with the Cazar Straits, they will be part of the Iron Confederacy. The Suranni gave the Empire a chance to deal with the problem themselves, and to seal the gaping maw of Dumon that lies in the waters near the islands, but they declined to do so. The Dukes will not tolerate the ongoing threat of Dumon to their holdings in Feroz, and to the territory of Arbonne.
