	Sarangrave is the south-western territory of [[the Mallum]], the empire ruled by the tyrannical [[Druj]]. The land is mixture of fecund marsh and rich forests with both crops and herd animals in great profusion. There are three clans of Druj in Sarangrave; the south is dominated by the Thornwasp clan, the northern regions are controlled by the Banded Snake, and the eastern regions are under control of the Marshlizard. These three powerful clans rule over a number of smaller clans, septs of subject orcs, and a few handfuls of humans. The Druj are secure in their domination of the Sarangrave.

Whatever the reason, this is an opportunity to intervene in the Sarangrave, find out more about what is happening there, and potentially gain useful allies.

The Grynbor are ruled by a monarch, they apparently appoint a new king or queen every nine years on the death of the previous ruler.

	The problem is convincing them that they have any chance of success if they rise up. The Druj control of the Sarangrave is absolute - they have faced no threats to their rule here in living memory. The idea of life without the Druj seems like little more than a fever-dream to most of the people who live here. To raise a weapon against the Druj is death - a swiftly summary execution if you are fortunate, a horrific, drawn out murder if you are not.

	He'd been here nearly a week now, slowly moving through the dank marshes looking for signs of potential rebellion among the mouldering settlements that were scattered across these fens. Hoping to find some spark that the Empire might fan into a flame. He smiled wryly to himself as he mused, the idea of trying to set the marsh on fire seemed like an apt analogy for the difficulty he faced. There were hundreds of orcs living in the marshes, but watching the way they acted round the Druj, the best word to describe them would be craven.

	They bowed low, they never talked back no matter what was said - they suffered indignities in silence. Maybe it was the soul-crushing miasma that suffused everything here. Palt had felt it as soon as he'd slipped over the border into the Sarangrave. A twisted ~~palour~~ clawing at his spirit, playing on his fears, only held at bay the aura that drove him to seek out the source of the threat. Without the anointing urging him to work with his fellow scouts, he was certain he would have found a reason to put this dangerous expedition off. What would it be like to face the miasma with the Way of Virtue to armour his soul? He shuddered to think on it - it was no surprise that the boat people of the flats had no will to resist the Druj when they were born into the miasma.
