	By sheer good fortune, or much more likely a twist of fate, there is [[#Gift of the forest (Conjunction)\|a conjunction to Kay's Lament]] on the Friday evening of the solstice. A pair of Navarri vates discovered an ancient artefact whilst in the depths of the ~~Vallorn~~ heart, but perished before they could return.

	[[Thunderous Tread of the Trees]] is a powerful Spring curse that would disrupt the Jotun forces across the territory - it is as not as powerful or as selective as the aid offered by the Moonprince, but some of the effects are similar. The curse would attack every army and fortification present in Liathaven for a year. However the effects would not be selected, any Imperial force present would also be harmed, whereas the Moonprince assures the Empire that his forces will attack ''only'' the Jotun. In theory there is no reason why both effects could not be in place at the same time, the Empire could curse the territory with Spring magic ''and'' the Moonprince's forces could harry the Jotun at every turn.

	The recent raids against the Jotun's holdings in Skallahn have badly damaged their military strength and secured a raft of benefits. The Kongegőr - the network of hidden routes across the shifting mud flats that connects Narkyst and ~~Kallsea~~ - has been disrupted for now, preventing movement across the Gullet. The Jotun are currently unable to resupply and reinforce their armies until the Spring Equinox. The Empire has an opening to create a spy network in the far west. And the network of Imperial spies and scouts fanning out from Greenwall to provide detailed reports that help to improve the success of any future invasion of Greenwall for the next nine months.

	These hammer blows have thwarted the Jotun, enraged Queen Yrsa, and upset the careful plans of the Jarl of Kierheim. As the Winter Solstice approaches a counsel of the jarls has dispatched Eisa Winterborn, the ''Shield of the Pass'', a human yegarra from the west of Kalsea, to smash any resistance in the Greenwall, and root out any Imperial spies. The threat posed by this force imperils the existence of the spy network in Skallahn, as well as removing any military advantages the Empire currently has should armies move over the border from Sermersuaq or Kallavesa.

	All of Liathaven, from the far western tracks of endless forest to the more frequented eastern glades bordering the Mourn, now lies until Jotun control. The enemy are present here in great number. Among them is Igya Olgafsdottir, daughter of the Jarl of Tromsa, regarded as one of the Jotun's foremost minds when it comes to engineering and siegecraft. Her keen eye, logician's mind, and silver tongue combine well as admirable traits to devise solid redoubts, ascertain a castle's weaknesses, or encourage those under her command to take on hard labour with a keen heart. Despite the loss of the fortress in Tanikipari that still bears her name, her star continues to rise among the Western orcs and there is speculation that she is a future choice for general of the Tower of the North.

	Igya has brought her warband to ~~Liavathen~~, following in the footsteps of the thousands of Jotun that have advanced eastwards through the north of the territory. Wagons bearing blocks of white granite have been seen moving from Hordalaant in the west. Within a day of her arrival the thralls under her command began to throw up earth berms and prepare small barricades to offer basic protection. So swiftly do her underlings toil that within a week of their arrival in ''Broker's Wynd'' foundation works have already been prepared, and groundwork laid out for a much larger network of basic wooden defences. Given the supplies en-route, it is clear the Jotun are preparing to lay down the foundations of a fortress under the eaves of Liathaven to consolidate their gains.

	A major Jotun fortification in Liaven's Glen bodes poorly for the Empire. It would secure the territory, allowing the Jotun to move forces through the woods without fear of attacks by the vallorn or the Feni. It could act as a springboard for a potential attack into the Mournwold or Kahraman. Even if the Jotun didn't intend to invade from there, raiders could steal over the border to threaten the important mines and quarries in Northern Kahraman. Of course it would take a great deal of time to build a fortification, but it appears that Igya has a plan to deal with that too...

	By utilising the conjunction to Broker's Wynd, the Empire could strike against Igya. A ritual casting of either [[Rising Roots that Rend Stone]] or [[Inevitable Collapse into Ruin]] would be sufficient to destroy a keystone, preventing Igya from incorporating it into the completed fortification. The prognosticators calculate that with Cathan Canae's help, the fortification will be complete in a single season. Each keystone which is destroyed will delay the completion by one extra season - if all three are annihilated then the fortification will have to completed at a normal rate, meaning it will not be completed until the end of the year.

	Furthermore the heralds of the Lord of the Forest of Arden say that if the magic in each of the keystones can be sundered within thirty minutes of each other, that is if the last ritual is completed within thirty minutes of the first, then their Prince will be able to use the arcane energies unleashed to attack the Jotun. If that happens, if all three are destroyed together, then the Lord of Despite will be able to unleash an army of wild creatures of the forest into the woods of ~~Liavathen~~. They will attack any Jotun armies trying to billet there, causing casualties and preventing them resting or resupplying for the next year. This would make it much harder for the Jotun to attack the Empire from ~~Liavathen~~.

	Such a feat would be incredibly difficult, the three keystones are spread over a wide area, so it would be hard to destroy them all, let alone to coordinate the rituals in such a way. It is not clear if the Empire can manage such a feat, either magically or logistically. However the Moonsilver Prince stands ready to aid the Empire if they wish to make the attempt.

	By sheer good fortune, or much more likely a twist of fate, there is [[Gift of the forest (Conjunction)\|a conjunction to Kay's Lament]] on the Friday evening of the solstice. A pair of Navarri vates discovered an ancient artefact whilst in the depths of the Vallorn heart, but perished before they could return.

	[[Thunderous Tread of the Trees]] is a powerful Spring curse that would disrupt the Jotun forces across the territory - it is as not as powerful or as selective as the aid offered by the Moonprince, but some of the effects are similar. The curse would attack every army and fortification present in ~~Liavathen~~ for a year. However the effects would not be selected, any Imperial force present would also be harmed, whereas the Moonprince assures the Empire that his forces will attack ''only'' the Jotun. In theory there is no reason why both effects could not be in place at the same time, the Empire could curse the territory with Spring magic ''and'' the Moonprince's forces could harry the Jotun at every turn.

	Finally, heralds of Surut of the Thrice-cursed Court have approached the Navarr egregore. The burned warriors, clad in scorched plate and the remnants of singed tabards, come with a request from their liege. Surut has once again extended his offer to cleanse a region of Liathaven with his power. The emissaries ask that once the Navarr have completed their own agenda in Broker's Wynd, the spring regio should be gifted to Surut. A short ceremony and pronouncement granting dominion to the Burnt Steward would suffice. If that happens he will unleash a deep ruby red incandescence on the forests of Liaven's Glen, burning the region in magical flames.
