	As news of the destruction of the Halls of Knowledge still spreads across the Empire, word comes that there is also hope and the chance of rebirth. The weakened Heliopticon tells of a number of parties known to have escaped the death and flames that befell so many of their fellow researchers. These scholars carry with them ancient books and scrolls, artefacts, and curiosities - and most importantly, every member represents a fraction of the wisdom once held at the Halls. Scattered across Caeli and ~~Perego~~, they are attempting to reach safety with the Highborn armies, or fleeing north to the forests of Therunin. Smart minds are quick to suggest that if they can be saved, then perhaps they would make the foundation stones of a new centre of magical learning in the Empire. Whilst getting hold of the physical knowledge they carry is, of course, important, bringing back these mages, stargazers and theoreticians is the most important goal. Each saved researcher will help in any future attempt to found a replacement for the Halls, depending on who is rescued and the extent of the knowledge that they possess.

Defeating the Jotun force and preventing them from moving a small force of warriors - a small raiding force - into the region of Pakaanan's Pass, in Skarsind, will deny them the ability to scout the region adjacent to Sermersuaq and learn ~~move~~ about routes into the Imperial Orc lands.

	Through the efforts of the war scouts operating in Morrow, and the prognosticators they supply with information, the following four opportunities have been divined, each a chance to inflict blows against the Druj sweeping through the valleys and passes of the Heart of Urizen. Each conjunction taken will allow the Heroes of Anvil to strike against the twisted cicatrix, devious tepel and cunning ghulai, and the chikad fighters they have dispatched across Morrow.

	None can doubt the massive contribution the physicians, chirurgeons, and hospitaliers have made over recent months during the bitter fighting in Morrow. Without the aid of the healers drawn to follow the soldiers of the Valiant Pegasus by the Imperatrix's decree, many thousands more would now be dead by the poisons of the Druj. Yet, as the equinox arrives and the armies pause for the turning of the seasons, there are many quartermasters, apothecaries and herbalists among the stoic Highborn who find themselves drawing on the last of their stocks of true vervain, marrowort and cerulean mazzarine. Some worry, some carefully portion out what little they have remaining, some grimly begin to prioritise the injuries they can afford to tend, should more casualties arrive.

	There are many stories among the refugees from Proceris, Zenith of the terrors brought by the Druj from out of the east. It is perhaps the accounts of the great monsters they use on occasion in battle that are heard the most frequently; told as the embers die in the makeshift camps and the children are in bed. Of course, these are no tall tales told by a Varushkan crone of the dark things that wait off the road, they are rational and precise tellings of what the Urizeni observed as they fled for their lives.

The horrific creature of the Mallum the Druj call an oduli, a crashing bulk of muscle, spines and savage claws; that harbours a potent poison within its blood, powerful enough to pollute and manipulate the very land upon which it is shed.

	Sentinels operating along winding paths, and from hidden fastnesses high among the peaks of Caeli, have been sending missives back to the civil service in Anvil, noting the movement of the Druj in the region. Combined with war scout trackers, they have reported that the Druj are escorting one of their poisonous beasts, an oduli, through the ruins of Caeli towards the massed hosts of their armies in Operus. Opinion is currently divided as to the Druj's plans for the creature - Is it another monster they can use to terrify their foes with? Could they utilise its power in Ravion to replicate whatever arcane rite was deployed in Proceris to turn the fertile valley into a foetid mire of swampland? What would happen if the creature were led to the hot springs of Peregro?

	The woods of '''Floes Descent''' are the first feature one encounters when beginning the climb up into Pakaanan's Pass on the route into Skarsind. A woodland that clings on in the shelter of the rising mountains, protected somewhat from the icy winds that blow across the expanse of Sermersuaq. It is here that a number of refugees have headed as the Jotun armies have swept across the Suaq territory. Many have already made it through the woods and are on the road up between the peaks of the Imperial Orcs' new home. At the rear of those fleeing are a contingent of Wintermark heroes, those who often visit the gatherings each season at the heart of the Empire and count themselves among ~~the~~ the ''Heroes of Anvil''. These are people of the Mark who would already be on a journey to Casinea, if it were not for the invasion of their lands and the burning of their halls. Many stayed until the last, intent on securing possessions, ensuring loved ones got to safety, or slowing the barbarian's advance as best they could. On their heels come a warband of heavy Jotun kirkja warriors, shield-carrying Skjaldir and axe-wielding Ulvenwar, intent on catching up with them. When they do, they will be offered The Choice - to die with honour, weapon in hand, or to become a thrall in service to the western barbarians.

	Yet, watchful eyes guard the passes into Skarsind and the refugees have not gone unnoticed. Messages travel between the civil service war scouts and prognosticators in Anvil, the Sentinel Gate is scrutinised and the Spirit of Wintermark is consulted.

The portal will only be open for a short time, allowing rescuers a mere ten minutes to get in, reach those fleeing, and hold back the vanguard of the Jotun, before the gate closes.

	As the Golden Axe pushed from Lestasny into the Druj territory now know to be called Ossium they encountered few settlements of any value, just scattered hovels and farms barely worth a second look. Now, as the summer draws to a close, the wardens that flank the army's advance and keep watch over the darkness have reported several Druj warbands moving through the scattered woodland of the Bonewood heading away from the Imperial advance. It is apparent that many of the subject ~~tribes~~ and slaves in the area are fleeing into the east of the territory. With them they carry their meagre possessions and supplies of food; a few larger groups of cowering refugees are escorted by chikad skirmishers, evidently guarding more precious items. Observations suggest that these barbarians are carrying quantities of green iron out of the region, having cleared some as yet unknown mine complex.
